FAQs:

Is this enclosure “Explosion Proof”?
No, this is an “Ex e” (Increased Safety) enclosure. It is designed to prevent sparks and excessive heat, but it is not a flame-proof “Ex d” cast enclosure intended to contain an internal explosion.

Can I use this in Zone 1?
The “Ex e” component rating is often used in Zone 1 and 2 applications for increased safety housing; however, always verify your specific system-level certification requirements with a site engineer.

Does it come with a mounting plate?
Yes, the “WP” suffix indicates it includes an unpainted galvanized steel back panel and mounting hardware.

Is 316L stainless steel necessary?
For oil & gas or coastal environments, 316L is highly recommended over 304 stainless steel because it contains molybdenum, which prevents pitting and corrosion from chlorides (salt).
