Shenhai Explosion-Proof
1. Installation Method:
One difference between explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof lights is their installation method. A critical aspect of explosion-proof electrical devices is that they should not be grounded as grounding can easily produce sparks. Additionally, power lines are typically explosion-proof and flame-retardant, and shock protection is designed to prevent the outer casing of explosion-proof lights from becoming electrified or from sparks igniting explosive mixtures when contacting conductors at different potentials. The differing wiring also directly impacts the range of use for each type.
2. Lampshade Material:
One difference between explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof lights is the material of the lampshade, but this is the only difference. Explosion-proof lampshades are made from high-strength glass and metal mesh, and naturally, the application environment varies.
3. Usage Environment:
One difference between explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof lights is their usage environments. Both types of lights, collectively referred to as lighting fixtures, are used in production, storage, and rescue. Moreover, explosion-proof fixtures, in addition to ensuring the safety common to all lighting fixtures, have varying ignition points depending on the harmful gases or dust present in different explosive environments. Thus, during normal operation or in case of a malfunction, the ignition point of explosion-proof fixtures varies. Therefore, the surface temperature of an explosion-proof light must be lower than the temperature in an explosive environment.
