Bulgin enclosure.

Bulgin enclosure.

Bulgin enclosure.

(OP)
Hi,

Please can some one tell me where i can get an enclosure for the Bulgin EXP-0941. Running control links betwwen 2 machines that have to be unplugged and removed from line each night.

Thanks,
Stuart.

RE: Bulgin enclosure.

Do you mean an enclousre to mount it on? From the certification on the connector your cheapest solution will be an appropriate ATEX-certified EX'n' enclosure. There are plenty available from the likes of Sarel, Weidmuller, Fibox, Rose, etc. If you aren't in an ATEX zone 2 hazardous area then that connector is an expensive choice; if you are then get some qualified help from someone with haz area design experience because there's some personal liability under the DSEAR Regs which you don't want if you aren't confident with haz area design.

Thanks for the reply.
I've seen an enclosure that is purposely made for the exp-0941 that doesn't require any alterations. It is designed to accept the 4 mounting holes of the socket. The company i work for is a food manufacturer and as such it has to be minimum IP68 rated due to hygiene drowning everything each night.
Thank you again, i will look through the suggested companies to see if any supply the enclosure i'm after.

Regards,
Stuart.

Hello Stuart

Have a look at the Bulgin Buccaneer range - very similar in design and spec but without the hazardous area certification and therefore cheaper. As soon as you get involved with hazardous area equipment the price jumps, even on the bottom end Ex'e' and Ex'n' products.
