ATEXapproval

DIN-rail power supply manufacturer PULS UK has been granted ATEX approval for its ML series of power supplies, allowing them to be used in certain hazardous environments.

The single phase units have an output range from 5 to 28VDC and a power range from 15 to 100W, and will be available on special order.

Units have been tested to EN 60079 - 15 and are approved for use in Class 1 Zone 2 Category 3G explosive atmospheres. PULS says no electrical changes were necessary to achieve the approval and that the Standard had been met in essence by dual conformal coating the internal components of the units.

ATEX is the framework for controlling explosive atmospheres and the standards of equipment and protective systems used in them.
