Ex Plug and Socket

What is an ExProof Plug Socket?

ExProof products, which are used as a safety measure and are necessary to be used in many industrial facilities, can help eliminate the risks of possible explosions. ExProof products should be used in explosion-prone areas such as LPG, natural gas, sugar factories, lumber and furniture factories, petroleum, chemical, oven, and bread factories. One of the ExProof products used in these areas is ExProof plug sockets. ExProof sockets provide high safety in areas where explosions may occur. ExProof sockets, produced using materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and polyester, also have an appropriate temperature range. (Aluminum material is used in Protaş products.) ExProof sockets play an important and major role in the operation of the system.

What is the Purpose of an ExProof Socket?

Although sockets do not have many duties in ExProof systems, they undertake an important role. ExProof sockets prevent sparks when electricity is turned on or off or when a cable is removed or connected. Therefore, they provide great protection in explosion-prone environments. ExProof sockets can be produced with different features depending on their usage areas, but generally serve the same purpose. ExProof sockets, which make working areas safe, should be purchased with attention to having up-to-date certificates. Products with current certificates and suitable for the usage area should be preferred.
