During the inspections here in Xinjiang, some experts suggested that explosion-proof trays should be used in explosion-proof areas. Please share your ideas on how to address this issue. Or does it exist?
An explosion-proof tray is a special type of tray used in explosion-proof areas, and it is primarily suitable for use in locations where flammable and explosive substances are stored, transported, or processed. By utilizing special materials and structural designs, it can effectively prevent explosion accidents caused by factors such as sparks and static electricity. In flammable and explosive areas such as Xinjiang, if work needs to be carried out, explosion-proof cable trays or other explosion-proof equipment must be selected based on the actual conditions to ensure work safety. It is recommended to select and use explosion-proof equipment such as explosion-proof cable trays in accordance with the relevant **or local laws, regulations, standards, and specifications, with professional personnel responsible for the selection, installation, and inspection. In addition, explosion-proof cable trays should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure their stable and reliable performance. .
There are too many people talking nonsense – explosion-proof cable trays, explosion-proof flexible pipes. The material just needs to be safe and reliable.
Inside the cable tray, there are definitely instrument cables, no high-voltage cables. The instrument cables are flame-retardant by nature, and the instruments used are intrinsically safe. There is a safety ground and a working ground at the cabinet end; in such a situation, what is the purpose of using explosion-proof cable trays in explosion-proof and fire-resistant areas? On important occasions, our valves have been equipped with fire shields, meeting the **required standards. API607 or 6FA – I just can’t understand what the so-called explosion-proof cable trays are for The cable tray itself does not provide any sealing effect
Take a look at GB 29415-2013 for fire-resistant cable trays
The instrument cable should have no connectors, and its outer insulation must not be damaged.
The cable tray itself is not a source of hazard; any dangerous situation must be caused by factors other than the cable tray.
Lately, many responses have been given in segments; it’s very similar to ChatGPT, and much of it is nonsense
I’ve never heard of the concept of explosion-proof cable trays, but some time ago an expert told me that the outlet boxes are not explosion-proof. . . . . .
