Gases, vapours, mists and dusts can all form potentially explosive atmospheres with air.
Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) is used to identify places where, because of the potential for an explosive atmosphere, special precautions over sources of ignition are needed to prevent fires and explosions. Hazardous area classification should be carried out to identify places (or areas) where controls over ignition sources are needed and those places where they are not. Hazardous areas are further classified into Zones / Class & Divisions / Classes & Zones, which distinguish between places that have a high chance of an explosive atmosphere occurring and those places where an explosive atmosphere may only occur occasionally or in abnormal circumstances.

Thorne & Derrick International, based in the UK, are Experts in Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres & ATEX Product Innovation – we supply and distribute the Marechal range of low voltage power, control and signal plugs and sockets for heavy industrial and hazardous area applications where ATEX IECEx Certified products are required.
In this series of application Blogs we review the use of Decontactors in the Oil & Gas industry.
For decades, the fossil energy industry – and especially oil and gas production – has relied on Marechal to establish the electrical safety of its installations. The Marechal range of Ex connectors are used on operating platforms, Pipelines and refineries, and Marechal products are well tested for a wide range of applications, such as load breaks, self-ejections or connection of boxes and outlets for automation and equipment management.
Today, it is difficult to reconcile an efficient process with a reduction of the costs on oil extraction. Marechal Electric has understood this and has products to meet the needs of this important branch of industry. From offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to oil sands in northern Canada, we can count on our products to bring this essential resource to market.
Marechal offer industrial electrical plugs and socket outlets for:
Cost Reduction
As gas and petroleum refineries strive to increase production in a market that is constantly changing, operating time, availability and safety are paramount to suppliers of electrical equipment. Marechal sockets are used to simplify the processes and to optimize them. We are striving to develop industrial power sockets that enable oil and gas refineries to produce petroleum products reliably in the world at the lowest possible cost.
Compliance with European Standards for Industrial Sockets
The plugs and sockets as well as socket-outlet boxes and junction boxes in this range are meant for use in hazardous areas in compliance with the ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive and as per the IECEx in Zones 1 and 2 (Gas) and Zones 21 and 22 (Dust).

In this series of application Blogs we review the use of Decontactors in the water & waste water treatment industries.
Equipping water treatment or sewage treatment sites with Marechal outlets ensures the longevity of your electrical installations and means significant time savings in maintenance operations.
Connections are resistant to outdoor conditions and comply with electrical standards. The connection and disconnection of plugs can be done in complete safety by unskilled operators without the need to isolate the power first.
Decontactor has an AC-22/AC-23 breaking capacity which complies with switched isolator standards. There one decontactor unit can used in place of a plug and socket and local isolator switch and selecting the correct model. This is a useful skill not only for end-user application and process engineers, but also for design engineers employed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). However, such understanding can be hard to come by.
Operators can therefore easily connect and disconnect the plug under load without having to undergo lengthy isolation procedures. Decontactor plugs are built with high quality materials. Silver-nickel contacts, stainless steel hardware, and chemical resistant housings all help withstand corrosion caused by the hydrogen sulfide gases usually found in wastewater environments.
Connection Quality & Life Expectancy 24/7 365 Days Per Year
Marechal products are fitted with spring-loaded contacts providing a permanent and durable contact. The silver-nickel tipped contacts provide exceptional connection quality and excellent resistance to wet and corrosive environments, even after years of use.
IP66/IP67/IP69K Sealing
The reinforced IP66/IP67 water-tightness is achieved automatically upon connecting the socket or closing the lid. It enables the product to be used in extremely wet or dusty environments. Some of Marachel’s range of plugs are available up to IP69k for high-pressure cleaning at 100 bar and 80 °C.
Fast & Safe Connection Under Any Circumstances
The socket latch holds the plug in the socket against the force of the internal springs. This ensures the plug is watertight and that the appliance will start up properly. When the plug is removed from the socket, the safety shutter closes to prevent access to live parts.
DECONTACTOR™ Technology: Tested Safety
DECONTACTOR™ From 20 A to 250 A
The DSN/DS range spans currents from 20A to 250A, making it Marechal’s largest and most complete DECONTACTOR™ range. Socket-outlets and connectors are available in GRP or metal and offer a large array of options like padlocking, keying systems and auxiliary contacts.
STAR-DELTA 7 POLE DECONTACTOR™ & CONNECTORS – From 30 A to 150 A
Thanks to their silver-nickel tipped contacts, the DECONTACTOR™ plugs are designed to withstand significant and repeated overloads. Therefore they are especially suited for reliable motor connections even with frequent re-starting.
PF HIGH-CURRENT PLUGS AND SOCKET-OUTLETS – 315 A / 400 A / 500 A / 600 A – 1,000 V
The Marechal PF range can accommodate up to six auxiliaries and two pilots, is IP66/IP67 watertight (standard), and has an electro-mechanical lock-out system, for maximum safety and water protection.
