BXM Explosion-Proof Distribution Box

The BXM explosion-proof distribution box is a standard explosion-proof power distribution device specifically designed for electric heat tracing systems. It features a sturdy aluminum alloy enclosure, provides multiple protections against overload, short circuit, and ground leakage, and can achieve automatic control via a thermostat. It serves as the core component that delivers a safe and reliable power distribution solution for electric heat tracing products within hazardous flammable and explosive areas.

This product is a specialized distribution box for electric heat tracing systems, particularly for freeze protection heating cables. The enclosure adopts a wall-mounted or floor-standing structure with a protection rating of IP54, and the power cable is introduced from the bottom. It is equipped internally with multi-pole circuit breakers and ground leakage protection devices, and an alarm device can be added as needed. Its core function is to automatically control the start/stop of the freeze protection system through an ambient thermostat (digital temperature controller or BJW-type thermostat). The distribution box housing is made of aluminum alloy with an electrostatic powder coating, complies with the GB3836.2-2000 explosion-proof standard, is suitable for hazardous locations in Class I, Zone 1 and 2, providing safe power distribution and control for heat tracing loads.

  • Applicable in hazardous locations in Class I, Zone 1 and 2​ where explosive gas atmospheres may be present.

  • Provides centralized power distribution and control for various electric heat tracing products​ (especially heating cables for pipeline and equipment freeze protection).

  • Widely used in hazardous areas of industries such as petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and pharmaceuticals, in electric heat tracing systems for freeze protection, insulation, or process temperature maintenance of facilities like process pipelines and storage tanks.

  • Explosion-Proof Safety:​ Complies with the national explosion-proof standard (GB3836.2-2000), featuring a robust and durable aluminum alloy enclosure specifically designed for hazardous environments, ensuring safety.

  • Intelligent Control:​ Can integrate a digital temperature controller or BJW-type thermostat, enabling automatic start/stop and temperature management of the heat tracing system, achieving energy efficiency.

  • Comprehensive Protection:​ Built-in circuit breakers provide overload and short-circuit protection; standard ground leakage protection device prevents electric shock and leakage current risks, offering high safety.

  • Flexible Configuration:​ Offers various output specifications from 1 to 12 circuits, divided into single-phase and three-phase types, meeting different scales and load types of heating demands.

  • Reliable Structure:​ Protection rating IP54, resistant to dust and water splashes; bottom power inlet for convenient installation, compact structure.

  • Optional Expansion:​ Supports the addition of a sound-light alarm device for timely notification in case of system failure.
