ATEX Zone 1 Transformer

Safe, Certified Power Distribution for Hazardous Areas

Designed specifically for use in explosive atmospheres, the Shindaiwa ATEX Zone 1 Transformer provides reliable, low-voltage power distribution where standard electrical equipment cannot safely operate. Certified to ATEX and IECEx standards and rated Ex de II T3 (II 2 GD), it is suitable for use across Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas atmospheres and Zone 21 and Zone 22 dust atmospheres, making it one of the most versatile portable ATEX transformer solutions available in the UK market.

With a 400VA fused output, IP66 ingress protection, and an operating range of -20°C to +40°C, this ATEX transformer is built to perform reliably in the most demanding industrial environments, from petrochemical refineries and offshore platforms to confined space entry and shutdown maintenance operations.

Applications

  1. Petrochemical and Refinery. In refineries and chemical processing plants, Zone 1 conditions are frequently present around storage tanks, pumping stations, and process vessels. The ATEX Zone 1 Transformer provides compliant power distribution for maintenance tools, instrumentation, and ATEX-rated lighting during both routine operations and planned shutdowns.
  2. Offshore Platforms. Offshore environments present extreme demands on electrical equipment. The IP66 rating and stainless steel mounting frame make this transformer well suited to the salt-laden, high-humidity conditions found on oil and gas platforms, where compliant and reliable power distribution is non-negotiable.
  3. Confined Space Entry. For work in tanks, vessels, and pipework where reduced voltage power is required as a safety measure, the transformer’s 24V or 110V AC output provides a compliant low-voltage supply for lighting, ventilation, and tools, paired directly with ATEX-rated extension leads and splitter boxes.
  4. Shutdown and Turnaround Maintenance. During planned shutdowns, temporary power distribution must be established quickly across multiple work fronts. The four output sockets and portable form factor allow the transformer to be positioned close to the work area, minimising cable runs and reducing trip hazards.

Complete Your ATEX Power Distribution Setup

The ATEX Zone 1 Transformer is designed to work as part of a fully certified hazardous area power distribution system. It pairs directly with the Shindaiwa ATEX Zone 1 Splitter Box for distributing power across multiple circuits and ATEX Extension Leads for reaching equipment in confined or restricted locations. For sites requiring illumination in hazardous areas, the full ATEX lighting range from Site Bright completes the system.

All products are certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, allowing a single supplier to provide a compliant, matched power distribution and lighting solution for Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments.
