• Enclosures and construction specified to meet NEMA 7/9 or ATEX, Zone 20, 21, or 22 ratings
   
• Explosion proof (flameproof) panels cast from heavy aluminum designed to prevent any internal explosion or spark from igniting the vapors in a hazardous location
   
• Local rated operator panels that interface with larger motor control cabinets in unclassified areas through intrinsic safety barriers
   
• Nitrogen or compressed air purged panels that inhibit unwanted fumes or dust from entering the panel. These systems are equipped with pressure sensors, alarms and automatic shut-down functions in the event of the purge system failure
