What Is Electrical Explosion Protection

2024-07-22 Explanation Of Terms

Taking flameproof electrical equipment as an example, "explosion-proof" denotes the capability to prevent external combustible mixtures from igniting or exploding even if an internal spark triggers an explosion of explosive materials within the casing. The effectiveness of "explosion-proof" electrical equipment in preventing explosions hinges on the unique design of its…
