Meeting the Unique Lighting Demands of Metal Processing and Metal Working Industries High temperatures and demanding environments are common challenges in industrial settings such as steel mills, foundries, and forging facilities, particularly when it comes to lighting solutions. Ensuring uninterrupted operations and worker safety is of paramount importance for facility owners to maintain productivity and

LED lighting fixtures have become a mainstay in harsh environments due to their durability, long lifespan, and energy efficiency. However, when selecting these fixtures, it’s crucial to consider their Ingress Protection (IP) and Impact Protection (IK) ratings. These ratings provide insight into the fixtures’ ability to withstand various environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and

When it comes to electrical installations in hazardous locations, safety is of the utmost importance. Electrical equipment and wiring methods must be carefully selected and installed to ensure that they are safe and reliable in these potentially explosive environments. One key factor to consider is the classification of the hazardous location, which is defined by

With the development of industrial manufacturing, there are potential explosion hazards in many production processes. In order to ensure the safety of workers and equipment and prevent explosion accidents, IEC standards play an important role in this regard. This article will focus on the application of IEC standards in several aspects of explosion protection. 1.

Lighting designed for harsh and hazardous locations is built to be tough, reliable, and – most importantly – safe. Industrial locations such as metal processing, wastewater treatment or oil & gas refineries often contain the presence of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or other potentially explosive substances. Lighting fixtures could pose a serious risk of
