How to perform an Insulation Resistance Test (Meg Test)
The quality of insulation resistance is known to degrade with time due to exposure to their environmental conditions. Temperature, humidity, moisture, and dust particles negatively impact these cables inducing electrical and mechanical stress. For any developing or existing site, Meg Tests are conducted on power cables at constant and regular intervals to check the health of their electrical systems.
BARTEC Academy Programs for Safe Practices in Hazardous Areas
As a global leader in explosion prevention and protection, we provide products and solutions designed to help keep people and the environment safe. Through our BARTEC Academy, we provide a wide range of seminars to explain safe practices in hazardous areas.
Everything under Control
The production of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, as well as the preparations involved, is a complex process and requires maximum levels of precision, purity, and equipment safety. There is no room for error in any aspect of the process—there is simply too much at stake. Control components for (production) processes, in particular, must conform to strict standards. BARTEC, an expert in hazardous-area safety, has collaborated with its customer GfS Automation, an industrial automation specialist based near Frankfurt, to develop and supply a switchgear for use in Ex areas in Covid vaccine production.
Safely Tapping Oil Wells
Oil leaks are damaging – not only to the marine ecosystem, but also, of course, to the reputation of the pumping company involved. Keeping crude oil safely in the pipeline at all times is, therefore, absolutely essential. This process is known in the industry as “blowout prevention”, and the electronics involved are controlled by special switching cabinets – which are installed in extremely tough conditions. BARTEC assembles these for its customers.
First-class LED Solutions for Hazardous Areas
Ecodesign regulation 2019/2020/EU, released in 2021, affects the use of fluorescent tubes on the EU/EEA market. Until that time, lighting fixtures in hazardous areas were still permitted as exceptions, but the regulation accelerated the switch to LED technology. With the latest update to the RoHS directive, the exemption for mercury content in fluorescent tubes will expire on August 24, 2023, which means that fluorescent tubes containing mercury may not be placed on the market after that date, even for replacement purposes.
