Yes, dry-type transformers can be used in hazardous areas, such as Zone I and Zone II, which are classified as areas where flammable gases or vapours may be present. However, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the hazardous area and ensure the dry-type transformer and enclosure are suitable for use in these conditions.
Dry-type transformers used in hazardous areas must meet specific standards and certifications related to Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. These certifications define the requirements for electrical equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. They ensure the dry-type transformer and enclosure are designed and constructed to prevent the ignition of flammable gases or vapours, and to operate safely in hazardous areas.
In some cases, dry-type transformers used in hazardous areas may require additional features or modifications, such as increased insulation or explosion-proof enclosures, to meet the specific requirements of the hazardous area.
Overall, dry-type transformers can be used in hazardous areas, but it is important to consider the specific requirements and certifications for electrical equipment in these areas, and to ensure the dry-type transformer is suitable for the specific conditions. It is important to consult with a competent company that specialises in the supply of dry-type transformers.
