WAGO’s Pro 2 portfolio expands for marine environments and hazardous areas.
Shipboard and coastal applications are challenging. Mechanical stress, such as vibration and shock, compounded by environmental factors, such as humidity, heat or salt spray, can severely degrade electrical and electronic devices. WAGO’s Pro 2 Power Supplies meet these challenges with an DNVGL-approved version that is now available and offers optional protective coating.
Use in Marine Environments
Marine certification ensures that the power supplies not only can stand up to harsh environmental influences, but also have both lower emission of interference and higher EMC. Furthermore, the power supplies also provide reliable operation at vibrations of up to 0.7g. The available version with a coated PCB also increases resistance to salt spray corrosion.
Process Industry Applications
Additionally, UL HazLoc approval, which is the US certification for hazardous locations per UL Class 1, Div. 2, Group A, B, C and D, expands the WAGO Pro 2 Power Supply’s range of applications. The optional protective coating also increases corrosion resistance to harmful gases and is tested in compliance with the ISA G3 standard. Typical applications for these power supplies are: Ships and marine equipment and onshore/offshore applications (e.g., wind turbines) in environments with increased vibration, as well as in machines and equipment (e.g., in process engineering, where explosive air–gas mixtures are expected only rarely and for a short period).
