Earth-Rite ® DGS dual ATEX grounding system
IP66
ATEX zones 1, 2, 21, 22
Two potential-free contacts (250 Vac / 5A / 500 VA resistive max.) one per channel. And a master contact when both channels are active and well connected.
The ER® DGS system allows two mobile metal objects such as drums, containers and railcars to be simultaneously and independently secured and grounded.
The applications are diverse:
- Refineries and oil depots
- Gas filling centers
- Chemical and pharmaceutical plants
- Tank car deliveries
This ATEX-certified grounding system for zones Gas 1, 2 and Dust 21, 22 features one servo contact per
tested line, and an additional Master contact activated when the contacts of both lines are open.
The ER DGS system increases the safety of your site and the personnel in charge of transfer operations.
