Dust – a Safety Risk

Eaton provides the safe power supply for your drives with dust explosion-protected switches, motor intermediate terminal boxes and plug devices

Combustible and explosive dusts occur more often than you think.
For example during the processing of:

wood and fiber materials
foods, beverages, tobacco and fodder
coal
metals and metal alloys

But technical chemical products of plastic, resin and rubber can create combustible dusts and explosive atmospheres.

Electrical equipment for your safety

Mills, mixers or conveyors in areas where there is a risk of dust explosion require electrical
energy – reliable, safe and explosion-protected. Eaton provides the safe power supply for your drives with dust explosion-protected switches, motor intermediate terminal boxes and plug devices. And that‘s not all: Your drives can clearly and visibly be disconnected from the mains supply by the range of plug and sockets. This also makes maintenance of your machines very safe and convenient.
