Frequently Asked Questions

In power generation facilities, the primary hazardous areas requiring explosion proof lighting include gas turbine fuel supply and purging areas (Zone 1/2 for natural gas), battery rooms (Zone 1/2 for hydrogen released during charging), diesel fuel storage and handling areas (Zone 2), and hydrogen cooling systems in large generators. The zone classification for each area is determined by a hazardous area study to IEC 60079-10-1. AJV Tech supplies IECEx Zone 1 certified lighting and ventilation for all power plant hazardous area types.

Yes. Battery rooms where lead-acid batteries are charged release hydrogen gas (gas group IIC), which is the most flammable and challenging gas group for hazardous area equipment. Explosion proof luminaires installed in battery rooms must be certified for gas group IIC, Zone 1. Raytec SPARTAN luminaires are IECEx and ATEX certified for gas group IIC and are suitable for battery room lighting in power stations, substations, and UPS rooms across the GCC.

Gas turbine enclosures are Zone 1 classified for the area immediately surrounding the fuel supply and gas turbine casing. Raytec SPARTAN Zone 1 emergency LED luminaires with integral battery backup provide maintained emergency lighting for safe egress from turbine enclosures during a power failure or trip. The luminaires carry IECEx and ATEX Zone 1 certification for gas group IIB or IIC depending on the fuel type. AJV Tech can supply emergency lighting packages with full documentation for turbine enclosure installations.

Yes. AJV Tech supplies IECEx and ATEX certified explosion proof lighting for power generation projects in the UAE including DEWA, ADWEA, and independent power producers (IPPs). Products are accepted at utility projects with IECEx and ATEX documentation. AJV Tech's UAE stock and local technical support enables rapid supply for new-build and maintenance projects at UAE power stations. Contact our team with your project scope for a detailed quotation.

Yes. Ramfan ATEX/IECEx certified explosion proof ventilation blowers are used during gas turbine maintenance, inlet duct cleaning, and confined space entry at power plants. AJV Tech supplies portable Ramfan blower packages for power plant maintenance contractors across the GCC and India. Combined lighting and ventilation packages for planned outage and maintenance work are also available to simplify procurement and documentation for power plant maintenance programs.
