Explosion proof Gland and Difference between Explosion prrof and Double compression glands

 EXPLOSION PROOF GLANDS :-

Double compression explosion proof Glands are used in electrical equipment's for gland work of armored cable in compressor area,  glands usually have following construction features:-

1.Double Compression (Explosion proof Cable Glands-I,IIA,IIB)  
2.Material Brass (IS 319) -Standard. (AL/Mild Steel/SS. also available )
3.Threads ET"/BSC-Standards (In PG/Metric/NPT/BSP also available)
4.Sealing Ring Neoprene  

 Protection Class IP 66 as per IS 13947

Application Generally used in flammable Gas/ Vapour area (Gas I,IIA,IIB)  

EXPLOSION PROOF GLANDS PARTS:-
11. CHECK NUT 6 ARMOUR CLAMPING RING
22. WASHER 7 MAIN GLAND BODY
  3. NIPPLE ENTRY PART 8 NEOPRENE OUTER RUBBER
44. NEOPRENE INNER RUBBER 9 SKID WASHER
55. ARMOUR CLAMPING CONE 10 GLAND COVER


Main Difference between Explosion proof and Double compression glands is that Flameproof glands doesn't

LED Photos

OK, this one isn't really a project. But I wanted to share it anyway. One day a bought this little ...light thingy in a junk shop. I didn't really know what it was, but it had LEDs and anyway it was only 1 €... This is what it looks like: It turns out that it has three very bright LEDs in red, green and blue and it works in different modes; one of them is a colour change mode. But it does this

Electrical Contactors AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4

Image
Electrical Contactors Utilization Categories:- Electrical Contactors are categorized according to the current making and breaking values for contactors. This will depend on the following: The type of load to be controlled (Inductive load, Lighting load, Motor load, Resistive load, Capacitive load) The operating cycle conditions. For any applications there are different contactors available depending upon load application which every electrical engineer you must know before designing any systems.  You may have often seen the ratings described on contactor name plate depicting various parameters. One of most important to be considered are as described in this article.  AC1 - These type of contactors are used for Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads they are used for Heaters which are resistive loads. AC2 - These type of contactors are used in Starting of slip-ring motors AC3 – They are particularly used for Starting of squirrel-cage motors and sw...
