Appleton (Rosemont, IL) has launched the Explosionproof Rigmaster LED Series Luminaire, a linear lighting source designed specifically for hazardous (classified) locations where the wrong luminaire isn't just a maintenance problem — it's a potential source of ignition. In these high-risk environments, flammable gases, ignitable vapors, or combustible dusts are present constantly or are likely to occur. The Rigmaster's explosionproof housing ensures that any internal electrical event, such as an electrical arc, a short circuit, or an overheating surface, is fully contained within the fixture and unable to propagate to the surrounding atmosphere.
Class I, Division 1 (CID1) is the highest-risk hazardous location classification defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC). The Explosionproof Rigmaster luminaire is designed for exactly those locations that include drilling and offshore rigs, oil refineries and petrochemical processors, hydrogen and biofuels plants, LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) plants, mining and underground tunnels, foundries, waste and sewer treatment facilities, power generation facilities and paint booths.
