EX D FLAMEPROOF
Ex d or Flameproof means that an enclosure or junction box is manufactured and certi ed
as explosion proof according to explosion protection concepts.

The Flameproof classi cation is a type of protection in which the parts that can ignite in an
explosive atmosphere are placed within an enclosure that can withstand the force created
and pressure developed during an internal explosion. Therefore if an explosion
should occur inside of the enclosure, it will either be contained within or any escaping
ames would be cooled by the ame path. This reduces the risk of igniting an external
explosive atmosphere.

Other hazardous area equipment that can be designated as Ex d or ameproof, for example
a ameproof cable gland, is designed in a way that it will maintain the Ex d integrity of any
ameproof enclosure to which it is tted.

This method of explosion protection also prevents the external hazardous atmosphere from
entering the enclosure and coming into contact with equipment.
