ATEX isolating transformers
Cooper Crouse-Hinds, a leader in electrical products that provide safety, productivity, innovation and labour savings in hazardous, industrial and commercial environments, has gained new ATEX and IECEx approvals for its Ex-e (increased safety) GHG 410 range of safety and isolating transformers. These transformers are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
>Available in power consumptions from 63 VA up to 1200 VA, the single phase Ex-e safety and isolating transformers from COOPER Crouse-Hinds are approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres to BVS 11 ATEX E195 U and IECEx BVS 11.0087 U.
>Safety and isolating transformers are used for the power supply of control circuits. The use of these transformers is stipulated in the EN 61558-2-1 standard. This requires the use of safety and isolation transformers if more than five operating coils are used in one circuit. The benefits of using safety and isolation transformers are that they safeguard the application against direct and indirect contact.
