Grounding strap type EX BES 28 5057630

Grounding strap for potentially explosive atmospheres

This EX BES 28 grounding strap is a key element in ensuring safety in electrical installations, especially in areas at risk of explosion. Designed for spark-free equalization of potentials, it meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-410/-540 and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305), and is also suitable for installations in accordance with VDE 0165-1 (IEC / EN 60079-14). This is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users who need reliable protection against the effects of overvoltage and atmospheric discharges.

Construction and application

The strap is designed for mounting on pipes with an outer diameter from 6 to 500 mm. Its construction allows for the connection of two conductors with a cross-section from 16 to 78 mm². It finds application in Ex zones 1 and 2/21 and 22, making it indispensable in the chemical, petrochemical, mining industries, and other facilities where there is a risk of an explosive atmosphere. Tested according to explosion group IIC ensures the highest level of safety.
