Ex Plug and Socket

What is an ExProof Plug Socket?

ExProof products, which are used as a safety measure and are necessary in many industrial facilities, can help eliminate potential explosion risks. ExProof products should be used in explosion-prone areas such as LPG, natural gas, sugar factories, lumber and furniture factories, petroleum, chemical, bakery, 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 manufactured using materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, polyester have an appropriate temperature range. (Protaş products use aluminum material.) ExProof sockets play an important and significant role in the operation of the system.

What is the purpose of an ExProof Socket?

Though sockets do not have many functions in ExProof systems, they play an important role. ExProof sockets prevent sparks when electrical connections are turned on or off or when a cable is plugged or unplugged. Therefore, they provide great protection in explosion-prone environments. ExProof socketscan be produced with different features depending on their areas of use but generally serve the same purpose. When purchasing ExProof socketsthat make working environments safe, it is necessary to ensure their certificates are up-to-date. Products with valid certificates and appropriate for the area of use should be preferred.
