ZIH2-12
Power supplies are advanced devices used in industrial environments where there is a risk of sparks or electrical discharges, which can lead to hazards associated with the conduction of flammable gases. These specialized power supplies are designed with safety in mind, especially in areas where the presence of combustible substances poses a potential risk. Intrinsically safe power supplies are equipped with technologies that prevent spark formation, including special enclosures, insulation, and electrical protections. Thanks to these safety measures, intrinsically safe power supplies eliminate the risk of ignition in flammable gas environments, which is particularly crucial in the chemical, oil, and mining industries.
Description
The ZIH2-12/1 and ZIH2-12/1.7 intrinsically safe power supplies are designed for safely powering electrical devices in underground mines. The components are housed in flameproof enclosures, allowing them to operate in areas at risk of methane explosion.
Key Features
Intrinsically Safe Connection Box for Output Circuits: The safe connection box for output circuits eliminates the risk of spark formation during electrical connections. This is a critical safety feature in mining environments where explosion risks are high.
Flameproof Enclosure with Terminal Strip: The flameproof enclosure, coupled with the terminal strip, functions as a flameproof junction box for the primary circuits of the power supplies.
Simple Optical Signal for Power Supply Status: The simple optical signal provides visual monitoring of the power supply’s status. This easy-to-read indicator helps quickly identify any potential issues, contributing to efficient system maintenance.
Output Circuit Suitable for Group I, Category M2 Devices: The output circuit is designed to power devices from Group I, Category M2 (Level ib protection), which meets strict safety requirements for mines. Level ib protection covers areas where gas concentrations may occasionally exceed acceptable limits.
Additional Benefits
Environmental Resistance in Mines: The power supply is resistant to the harsh environmental conditions found in mines, including moisture, dust, vibrations, and low temperatures.
Compliance with Safety Standards and Certifications: The power supply is compliant with relevant standards and certified for safety under ATEX regulations.
Integration with Safety Systems: The power supply can be integrated with other safety systems in the mine, such as gas monitoring or evacuation systems, enhancing the overall system’s effectiveness.
Use of Advanced Fire-Resistant Materials: The use of fire-resistant materials enhances the power supply’s resistance to fire and high temperatures.
