EXP-0921/03/S - ARCOLECTRIC

Circular Power Connectors 9

The EXPlora range is most suited to manufacturers

of ancillary electrical equipment such as motors,

pumps, lighting equipment, process and

control gear for use in factories and plant where

hazardous or explosive atmospheres can be

caused by ammable gases, mists or vapours or

by combustible dusts.

Independently tested for compliance to ATEX

standards for use in Zone 2 and Zone 22

environments, the new EXP series is manufactured

from a tough,high grade UL94V-0 rated Polyester

material and provides environmental sealing to IP68.

The ATEX coding is: Ex II 3 GD and the certicated

no: Baseefa09ATEX0232X.

EXPlora is rated up to 18A, 600Vac/dc for 2, 3, 4

and 5 poles, 16A, 430Vac/dc for 7 pole and 10A,

250Vac/dc for 10 poles. The 3, 4, 5 and 7 pole

versions have leading earth contacts making them

suitable for single or three phase applications.
