Barrier Glands - Prysmian Explosion Proof (EEx d) Barrier Glands - Zone 1 & 2 Hazardous Areas

Prysmian BICC BICON Cable Glands, Explosion Proof Barrier Cable Glands for Zone 1 & Zone 2 Hazardous Areas (ATEX Certified) - EEx d Cable Glands

Prysmian barrier glands (BARR-W EEx d 424TW Series) provide explosion proof cable glands for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Barrier glands are suitable for steel wire armoured (SWA) cable terminations, either indoors or outdoor - brass barrier glands provide explosion proof cable terminations for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Prysmian BICC BICON barrier glands provide an IP66 seal onto the cable and electrical enclosure.

Barrier Gland Certification - II 2GD, EEx e II & EEX d under ATEX 94/9/EC

A barrier gland is an Ex d cable gland incorporating a compound filled chamber sealing around the individual cores of the cable to maintain the flameproof integrity of the electrical equipment installed in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. A barrier gland must be used where the standard method of cable glanding (elastomeric seals) an Ex cable entry is considered unlikely to maintain the integrity of flameproof electrical equipment and contain an explosion within the electrical enclosures due either to cable construction or degree of explosion risk.
