Working with a global leader in marine terminals and single-point mooring systems to design and build low and medium voltage Ex e enclosures

Project brief:

• To design and engineer IECEx certified, increased safety (Ex e) enclosures for low and medium voltage connectivity for offshore tower yoke mooring systems.

Challenges:

• Develop a standard enclosure design that can be universal for either Low Voltage or Medium Voltage application.
• Internal components have significant weight, so chassis plates or mounting panels to be reinforced/strengthened. 
• Due to the weight, it would be required for the internal chassis plates or mounting panels to be installed through removeable panel in the top of the enclosure.
• Epoxy coating on interior and exterior surfaces of the enclosures to insure protection against environmental conditions of installation.
• Requirement to use Ex e rated components to ensure apparatus or assembly certification to IECEx codes and standards.

Outcome:

• IECEx approved, IP66 enclosure with innovative design features to suit the exacting requirements
• Custom internal chassis plates for Ex e components.
• Environmental epoxy coating as per project specifications.
• Certification: IECEx zone 1
