Hazardous Area Equipment refers to specialized tools and devices designed for use in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. These areas are classified into zones based on the likelihood of an explosive atmosphere occurring. Equipment used in these zones must meet strict safety standards to prevent ignition and ensure safe operation. Common types of Hazardous Area Equipment include explosion-proof lighting, motors, and control systems. These devices are built with protective features, such as sealed enclosures and temperature control, to minimize the risk of sparks or overheating. Proper selection and installation are crucial for maintaining safety in hazardous environments.
