Hazardous Area Electrical Equipment - Abtech PCS Control Stations

Certification: ATEX Ex e II T6 

Abtech PCS Control Stations have been designed for use in potentially Explosive Atmospheres and are suitable for most gas groups including hydrogen. The Abtech PCS ATEX control stations are plastic, giving excellent mechanical strength and life expectancy.

These Abtech control stations are particularly suitable for use in Industrial and Hazardous Areas with harsh environmental conditions. Abtech PCS Control stations have a protection degree of IP66.
