Power Supplies for Hazardous Environments

Power supplies are advanced devices used in industrial environments where the risk of sparks or electrical discharges exists, potentially leading 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. These safety features eliminate the risk of ignition in flammable gas environments, making them especially vital in industries such as chemical, oil, and mining.

ZI2-24 is an intrinsically safe power supply designed for the safe operation of electrical devices in areas prone to methane explosions, specifically in coal mines. This power supply operates from a 230 VAC single-phase network and is intended for installation in non-hazardous areas, such as control cabinets or surface enclosures.

  • Output Circuit for Group I, Category M1 (intrinsically safe ia): Specifically designed to power devices in hazardous environments.
  • Certifications: Complies with industry standards, including ATEX for explosive atmospheres.
  • Fire-resistant Construction: Built from advanced fire-resistant materials to withstand extreme conditions. 
  • Mounting Compatibility: Suitable for mounting on TS-35 rail
  • Diagnostic Output: Features a two-state diagnostic output for operational status monitoring. 

The ZIH2-12/1 and ZIH2-12/1.7 intrinsically safe power supplies are designed to power electrical devices in underground mines. The components of these power supplies are housed in explosion-proof enclosures, ensuring their safe operation in methane-explosive environments.

  • Explosion-proof Connection Box: For secure connections of output circuits. 
  • Explosion-proof Enclosure: Ensures the power supply is safe in hazardous environments. 
  • Output Circuit for Group I, Category M2 Devices: Suitable for use with mining equipment. 
  • Easy Maintenance and Component Replacement: Simplifies upkeep and part replacement. 

V-BOX is an intrinsically safe buffered power supply composed of two units: V-BOXL and V-BOXB, specifically designed for powering electrical devices in methane-explosive environments. This power supply is certified as Category M1, making it suitable for use in mines with methane hazards. It includes a battery pack to provide backup power in the event of a network failure.

  • Explosion-proof Enclosure: Ensures safe operation in hazardous areas. 
  • Compliance: Meets ATEX and other safety standards for explosive environments. 
  • Automation and Monitoring Integration: Easily integrates with automation and monitoring systems. 
  • Energy Management: Offers optimal energy management for system efficiency. 

The ZI2-12 intrinsically safe power supply is designed to power devices in hazardous areas, including mines at risk of methane explosions, from a 230 VAC single-phase supply. It’s suitable for installation in non-hazardous surface areas like control cabinets.

  • Mounting Compatibility: Designed for installation on TS-35 rail
  • Output for Group I Devices, Category M1 and M2: Compatible with a variety of safety-critical devices. 
  • Durable in Harsh Conditions: Resilient to moisture, dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations common in hazardous environments. 
  • Short Circuit Resistance: Enhances reliability by minimizing the risk of failure due to short circuits.

We specialize in the design and production of explosion-proof devices and protections that meet the stringent requirements of the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU), which are crucial for improving safety and efficiency in industry.
