ATEX Plug & Socket Power Connector - Zones 1, 2 21, 22 - Marechal SPeX

Marechal - Plugs & Sockets for Hazardous Areas (ATEX)

Marechal SPeX Single Pole Power Connector

1000V a.c. / 1500V d.c. single pole, 6800A  ‘e' increased safety Marechal SPeX plug and socket power connector enables the user to connect and disconnect heavy duty equipment simply and safely in hazardous area zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.

Designed for use in hazardous areas the Marechal SPeX plug and socket assembly is ATEX 94/9/CE approved for zones 1 & 2 (gas) and zones 21 & 22 (dust). 

Marechal SPeX offers automatic IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating as soon as the plug is inserted into the socket.

Electromechanical interlocking is provided via a microswitch (which opens and closes all phases simultaneously) to protect the user and to prevent electrical destabilisation of equipment.

The Marechal casing is manufactured in glassfibre-reinforced polyester which affords excellent mechanical protection (IK08) and resistance to UV and chemical agents.

Typical applications include mobile gensets, ship-to-shore supplies, mines, offshore platforms etc.

The incorrect mating of phases is mechanically impossible. Furthermore colour-coding enables a visual check.
