protection a snap – and that also applies to
distributions.
Electrical distributions for Ex-areas must be
protected according to EN 60079 by constructional
measures. Thus, the Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Business
flameproof moulded-plastic distributions provide
type Ex-e protection.
The enclosure and main-switch modules are availa

ble in the following materials: fibreglass reinforced
polyester, electro-polished stainless steel and
polyester powder-coated steel. Moulded plastic
enclosures are flame-retardant according to
UL 94 VO. All modules come in standardised sizes
and can be inter connected as desired.
Cable entries of all kinds can be mounted individu
-
ally on the screwless plastic or brass flanges. Since
these flanges can be inserted in a snap, cable en
-
tries can be easily mounted at any time. The same
applies to other extensions or modifications.
A bus-bar system can be used to provide power to
the individual components. The flameproof encap

sulated modules (Ex-d) can be combined according
to customers‘ specifications. Five enclosure sizes
provide enough space for whatever modules are
required: MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, contactors, motor
starters, over current trips, star-delta time relays
or main
switches. The modules are inserted in the
distribution
by simple snap-on rail mounting. Thus,
modules can be replaced or added quickly and relia

bly. Lockable actuating flaps allow operation without
opening the enclosure.
