Larson Electronics Reveals New Class 1 Division 1 Explosion Proof String Lights for Hazardous Locations
Industrial lighting specialist Larson Electronics reveals their newly designed Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof string lights with a portable power transformer, which inverts high voltage input to low voltage output for powering the hand lamps.
The EPL-SL-8X75-12V-TXF explosion proof string light set from Larson Electronics contains a total of eight work lights that are equipped with aluminum hooks and connected in series along 80 feet of 16/3 SOOW explosion proof cord. An additional twenty feet of cord is used to connect the transformer to the lamps to provide ample length for connection outside of a hazardous area. A sealed aluminum junction box is mounted every ten feet, with three feet of 16/3 SOOW cord connecting a single drop light to each junction box. Each hand lamp is equipped with a 100 watt incandescent bulb.
The machined aluminum housings, cast aluminum guard, tempered glass lamp globe, and abrasion resistant cord make this a very durable unit that will resist damage from chemicals, abrasions, vibrations and impacts. This string lighting solution will provide operators a flexible, easy to manage lighting solution. The hand lamps can be moved around and hooked to different points on a scaffold, but must remain within 10 feet of one another. The portable transformer converts 120/220 volts AC to 14 volts AC for the 12 volt 100 watt drop lights. The transformer is enclosed within a NEMA 3R enclosure and includes a twist lock receptacle and weather proof cover. This transformer is mounted on a stand and has 3’ of SOOW cord with a standard 5-15 straight blade plug.Â
“These hand lamps were designed to be used in tank cleaning applications,” Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “The transformer allows the sting lights to be plugged into standard 120 or 220 volt outlet which is then stepped down to 14 volts to operate the lights for low voltage applications.”
