Control Room Containers for Potentially Explosive Areas
For a power plant in the Philippines, gefeba was awarded the contract to supply all the electrical equipment for material handling for a total of eight machines. The systems operated entirely within EX Zone 22, which placed particularly high demands on safety, design, and certification. The control cabinets and operator panels were to be integrated directly into the machines via containers. To achieve this, safe areas had to be created within the control room containers where standard components for control, drive, and automation technology could be installed. At the same time, all systems had to meet the requirements of DIN EN IEC 60079 Part 13 as well as the applicable ATEX directives.
The specially developed control cabinet containers made it possible to create a safe area for modern control and automation technology within EX Zone 22. This solution enables the reliable use of standard components even under demanding explosive atmospheres. Thanks to its standards-compliant design, integrated overpressure technology, and comprehensive certification, a highly safe and maintenance-friendly solution for material handling in power plant operations has been created.
