Ex Plug and Socket

What is an ExProof Plug Socket?

ExProof products, which are used as safety measures in many industrial facilities and are necessary to be used, 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 the 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 a suitable operating temperature range. (Protaş products use aluminum material.)  ExProof sockets play an important and major role in the operation of the system.

What is the Purpose of an ExProof Socket?

Although sockets in ExProof systems do not have many duties, they play an important role. ExProof sockets prevent sparks from occurring when the electricity is switched on or off or when a cable is plugged in 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 areas safer, it is important to ensure their certificates are up to date. Products with current certificates and suitable for the usage area should be preferred.
