Standards, certifications and safety

The Atex junction boxes are designed in compliance with the International IEC and European, as well as the ATEX 2014/34/EU directive, as indicated in the table below.

Constructive features of Jbox Ex-e junction boxes

The Jbox Atex junction boxes are made in their standard version in press-folded steel sheet suitably edged and reinforced with an adequate thickness and paint to withstand strong stresses and heavy duty environment. All the ferrous parts of the components, nuts and bolts and small accessories are made of stainless steel. On request, versions in stainless steel can be made.
The octagonal version has the option of providing a lateral cable entry, while the rectangular version is designed with cable entry from the bottom.

Environmental and use conditions

The installation of Atex MV junction boxes is for outdoor environmental conditions max 50 ° C and min -50 ° C and a  degree of protection IP66. Other operating conditions and other degrees of protection can be evaluated on request.

Modularity and customization

  • The junction box is customizable according to the number of incoming and outgoing cables, the type of cable gland or MCT most suitable for the use and the type of accessibility required
  • Possibility of equipping the Atex junction boxes with an auxiliary box.
  • On request, the Atex junction box can be equipped with a heating cable.
