DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
ATEX AND IECEX ELECTRIC PLANTS
MEP has designed and produced several installations of cranes in OFFSHORE HAZARDOUS AREAS in the main sites of the world, such as UAE, Africa, China, Brasil, Europe. Typical installation of ATEX or IECEX components is for:
⦁ Junction Boxes Exe
⦁ Electric Panels Exd
⦁ Lighting Exe/Exde
⦁ Instrumentation Exi/Exd/Exm
⦁ Fire detections system sensors: smoke detectors, heat detectors, gas detectors.
⦁ Ultrasonic wind speed sensors
⦁ Force measurement pins
⦁ Pressure and temperature switches and transducers
⦁ Electric and electronic control valves.
⦁ Suitable cables glands Exd/Exe and relevant armoured cables
Installations are suitable for ZONE 1 and 2 IIA/IIB T3/T4 GAS.
The electric design of the cranes is made to manage all the electric and electronics components to drive and controls the hydraulic plant (power electric motors, control valves, commands). The hazardous area design consists in the choice of the components suitable for the installation according to the client’s specifications and area classification. The choice of the components often follows the clients APPROVED VENDOR LIST.
The product of the design is the electric diagram and the components list:
Then the production, electrical installation and test is made in MEP plants before delivery.
Final installation and test is made by MEP engineers offshore.
