Typical Hazardous Area Applications

• Lighting Systems
• Conveyors
• Heaters
• Motor Generators
• Air Conditioning Equipment
• Compressors

The Appleton ATX PRE Series plug and socket system, certified and approved according to ATEX, is designed with a safe disconnect mechanism to insure maximum hazardous location and workplace protection.

PRE plugs feature contact separation in a flameproof chamber with the automatic electrical disconnection of each phase contained in a second flameproof chamber.

The same plug used in hazardous locations, including Zone 1 and Zone 2, can also be safely used with interlocking non-hazardous IEC 309 sockets. Different voltages are color coded for easy identification.
