Elements of safe electrical wiring
The manufacturing process involves numerous risks of fire or short circuit. The requirements for warehouse premises are no less stringent. To ensure high-quality wiring of electrical cables, numerous accessories are used. Explosion-proof distribution boxes provide the necessary insulation, but at the same time leave access to cables for repairs and connection of additional equipment.
Feature of modern distribution boxes
Modern industry chooses polymers as the main raw materials for the production of electrical accessories. They cope well with many everyday tasks. But in order for the box to have explosion-proof characteristics, it is made from aluminum alloy. It has the following operational characteristics:
1. Particularly high structural strength during operation.
2. Withstands significant temperature changes and does not melt.
3. The material does not support combustion in the event of a fire.
4. Natural loads do not lead to breakdowns and defects.
5. Aluminum alloy perfectly resists corrosion and moisture.
Important: aluminum distribution boxes can last for many decades and can be reused if a separate power line is dismantled. Thanks to their standard dimensions, they are very easy to install on walls and ceilings.
Advantage in practice
Explosion-proof design is mainly used for industries where there is an increased emission of dust or a couple of highly flammable substances are released into the air. The box is suitable for three-core cables of standard and non-standard design. Other advantages worth adding:
- allows installation of flexible metal or plastic protection;
- the box can withstand additional physical stress;
- enough free internal space for installation cable;
- the outer cover is fixed using a bolted connection.
Decorative coloring plays the role of attracting attention. The aluminum box itself does not need protection from humidity and other negative operating factors. Suitable for rooms with high temperatures.
