Hazardous Area Control Units

Inatex supplies IECEx-certified hazardous area control units designed for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive atmospheres. These explosion proof and Ex-rated assemblies provide safe local control and monitoring of industrial equipment in oil & gas, mining, marine and heavy industrial environments.

Hazardous area control units may incorporate pushbuttons, selector switches, indicator lamps and isolating functions within certified enclosures manufactured to Ex d or Ex e protection concepts. Selection must consider ingress protection rating, temperature classification, ambient conditions and operational requirements to ensure ongoing compliance with IECEx certification and Australian hazardous-area installation practices.

Control units are typically installed as part of a broader hazardous area control equipment system supporting distribution, switching and equipment operation. For an overview of related control stations and components, refer to our hazardous area control equipment category.

IECEx Solar Panels: New Possibilities for Remote Hazardous Area Power

Australia’s industrial facilities are often separated by distance. Across oil and gas, resources, processing and infrastructure projects, relatively small electrical loads can be located hundreds of metres, or sometimes considerably further, from an established power supply. Providing power to remote equipment can therefore require significantly more infrastructure than the load
