1. Superior Protection in Hazardous Locations (Explosion-Proof) Crouse-Hinds is synonymous with safety in classified areas (Class I, Division 1 & 2; Zone 1 & 2). Their enclosures are specifically engineered to contain internal explosions of gases or dust, preventing ignition from spreading to the ...

In industrial and commercial settings where flammable gases, combustible dusts, or ignitable fibers pose safety risks, hazardous location classifications are the cornerstone of safety engineering. These classifications—Class I, II, and III—are standardized systems that dictate how electrical equipment must be designed, installed, and maintained to prevent ...
