EXFS Coaxial Connection Box

In the past, ex isolating spark gaps for protecting insulating joints were usually installed underground or in ex zones. Maintenance and inspection were, as a result, time intensive and sometimes involved extensive digging, which was expensive.
The answer is the EXFS Coaxial Connection Box which can be installed above the ground or outside ex zones.

Safe inspection - outside the ex zone

The EXFS Coaxial Box protects the insulating joints of pipelines in potentially explosive areas. To facilitate regular inspections, the Coaxial Connection Box with integrated ex isolating spark gap EXFS 100 is installed outside the ex zone. Thus, inspection is quick and easy. This protection solution is already in use in the natural gas transfer station of the MONACO pipeline!

Bridging underground insulating joints

Easier inspection - without digging

A further advantage of coaxial connection technology: the Coaxial Box is the ideal solution for bridging underground insulating joints in cathodically protected pipeline sections. The overground installation of the box means that the spark gap can be tested and exchanged without having to dig first!

All the advantages in a nutshell

Connection with coaxial cable

When connecting with a coaxial cable, the voltage drop on the connection cable is up to three times lower than with a conventional connection cable. Cable lengths of up to 5 m are, therefore, possible depending on the insulation strength of the insulating joint!

NEW! To allow even more flexible use of the coaxial connection box, the coaxial cables are now available in individually determinable lengths of up to 8m. Feel free to ask our experts directly.
