Redapt Insulated Adaptors – Grounding Solutions for Sensitive Equipment

Insulated Adaptors ATEX/IECEx Exd/Exe

Redapt Insulated Adaptors are expertly designed to provide effective grounding for cable armour, making them an essential component in systems with sensitive electronic equipment. These adaptors are particularly beneficial in environments where electrical noise can interfere with the operation of instruments and equipment. By reducing circulating currents, they prevent the heating of high-capacity cables and ensure the segregation of high- and low-voltage earth fault paths.

Certified to ATEX and IECEx standards for both Ex d and Ex e environments, Redapt Insulated Adaptors are globally recognised for their reliability and safety in hazardous areas.

Key Benefits

• Superior Electrical Noise Reduction: Insulated adaptors eliminate electrical noise, providing a clean earth for sensitive instruments and ensuring an interference-free power supply.
• Galvanic Corrosion Prevention: The combination of metallic materials used in these adaptors, along with a glass-filled nylon insulating body, effectively prevents galvanic corrosion in harsh environments, including those exposed to seawater.
• Versatile Application: With both Ex d "Flameproof" and Ex e "Increased Safety" certifications, these adaptors are suitable for a wide range of hazardous-area applications worldwide.
• Thread Conversion: As with all Redapt adaptors and reducers, the insulated adaptors can be used as a thread conversion accessory while maintaining their Ex d/Ex e certification.
