Hazardous Location Protection
Russellstoll®
MaxGard® Explosion-Proof
Interlocked Receptacles
The National Electrical Code® (NEC®) defines
hazardous locations as areas where the possibility
of explosion and fire is created by the presence
of flammable gases, vapors, dust, fibers or flyings.
In food and beverage facilities, hazardous locations
may be present due to gases or chemicals, which
fall under NEC® Class I, or due to the presence of
combustible dust, classified as NEC® Class II.
Typical Hazardous Locations include:
r Grain elevators, flour and feed mills
r Producers of starch or candies
r Spice-grinding, sugar and cocoa plants
r Chemical storage areas
r Gas-fired ovens
To protect both your facility and your employees,
Thomas & Betts offers a wide variety of high-
performance explosion-proof solutions designed
to prevent or contain explosion in classified
Hazardous Locations.
