Meltric Hazardous Area DeContactors DXN from
Sords Electric
DXN HAZARDOUS LOCATION RATED PLUGS & RECEPTACLES
MELTRIC DXN series plugs and receptacles are convenient,
lightweight devices that are safe for the use in hazardous environments such as
refineries or silos where exposure to flammable gas or dust is a concern. The Meltric DXN’s compact size and durable
construction makes them easy to handle and well suited for in-line connections
of electrical equipment. When used to
connect modular equipment, Meltric DXN’s provide plug and play simplicity and
help reduce costs by eliminating the need to expensive safety enclosures. With Meltric DXN’s installed, users can
safely connect or disconnect equipment under full load in potentially explosive
areas. The Meltric DXN’s DEAD FRONT construction assures electrical safety by
preventing user access to the live parts.
IP66+IP67 ratings are achieved as soon as the plug and receptacle
are mated, making them the perfect choice for wet or dusty environments.
Live plugging and unplugging – How it works!
Arcing is a natural occurrence when electrical contacts make
and break under load. The purpose of a
hazardous duty product is to prevent arcing from igniting hazardous gases or
dusts present in the atmosphere into an explosion that may cause personal
injury or damage to facilities and equipment.
The Meltric DXN d-contactor accomplishes this with specially designed
flame-proof arc chambers.
The Meltric DeContactor arc chambers are sized to minimize
the amount of atmospheric gas or air/dust mixture that may ignite during arcing
and are built to contain this internal mini-explosion and withstand the
pressure that is generates. The length and width of the flame-proof pathways
are very precisely designed to provide for the effective dissipation of the
pressure, while also ensuring that the arcing and internal ignitions of the
gases or air/dust mixture in the arc chamber are totally isolated from the
surrounding atmosphere.
When the Meltric Plug and Receptacle are connected, the
flameproof arc chamber is completed with pressure relief/arc extinguishing
pathways between the outer diameter of the plug contact and its associated
contact hole in the safely shutter and between the main interior component and
receptacle contact base.
Metlric DXN’s are current interrupting rated devices. They can safely make or break under full load
and also during moderate over-load situations.
During the making and breaking of contacts, the arc chamber completely
contains any ignitions or gas or dust due to arcing and the flame-profo
pathways dissipate the pressure.
As the plug is being removed or inserted, the flame-proof
arc chamber and pathways re maintained.
This ensures continuous hazardous duty protection and the safety of the
user.
When the Meltric Plug and receptacle are
disconnected, the receptacle maintains a flame proof chamber. In this case, the flame-proof pathway exists
between the safety shutter and the main interior component. The shutter also prevents access to live parts,
providing users with the safety of a DEAD FRONT. The plug must be inserted into
the safety shutter and be rotated in order to access the receptacle contacts.
