ESTI Excess Temperature Protector-Switch Ex 03 The Excess Temperature Protector-Switch Ex 03 comprises a flameproof contact element fitted into an Increased Safety enclosure. It is used to switch auxiliary, control and signal circuits in hazardous areas. Working in hazardous areas, the safety of personnel and plant depends on complying with all relevant safety regulations. Safety instructions: Use the switch only for its intended purpose. No changes to the switch impairing its explosion protection are permitted. Observe the following when setting up and operating the switch:
The contact element must be replaced after each short-circuit in the switch main circuit. This is because the element is hermetically sealed and the state of the switching contacts cannot be checked. The function of the ESTI-Protector-Switch: The releasing element is the ESTI-Cartridge. Whenever the cartridge is heated the fluid contained in it expands. As soon as a predetermined critical temperature is reached the ESTI-Cartridge bursts. This bursting causes the release of electrical and mechanical impulses. |
Confirmity to standards: The Ex 03-Switch complies with the following standards and regulations: Directive 94/9/EC: EN50014, 50018, 50019, 50041, 60647-5-1 und GS-ET15 (throughout Germany). The type EX 03 is suitable for use in hazardous areas zones 1 ans 2.
