For maintenance, repair and upgrading work, appliances such as drills, welding transformers, hand grinders and such are needed but are not in accordance to the explosion-protection regulations. To be able to use these appliances in the Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosion-protected areas a hot work permit has to be issued. For the duration of the repair or maintenance work, the environment has to be free of all explosive hazardous atmospheres
The CEAG explosion-protected repair and maintenance receptacles are in accordance to regulations that in parts require a stationary installation. With the interlocking and lockable switch or the lockable cover the utilization of the repair and maintenance receptacles is selectively possible after a hot work permit has been issued.
The CEAG repair and maintenance receptacles with and without an interlocking switch can be used with both industry and Ex-plugs. Interlocked repair and maintenance receptacles have an internal switch who prevents that a plug can be pulled out while power is on. The interlock is activated by turning the plug.
Repair and maintenance sockets without an interlocking switch have a red signal lamp on the top side of the housing showing the actual state of power.
