Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com has added a 100-foot long explosion proof extension cord equipped with three receptacles to its line of explosion proof equipment accessories. The Magnalight EPEXC-3X-100 explosion proof 3 outlet extension cord is designed to allow operators to connect up to three devices to one power source while providing approved explosion proof protection in Class 1 Division 1 and 2, and Class 2 Division 1 hazardous locations.
The chemical and abrasion resistant cord is comprised of heavy duty 14/3 SOOW explosion proof cord mated with three explosion proof aluminum receptacles and a single standard T style explosion proof plug. The explosion proof receptacles are of a 3 Pole 2 Wire configuration, 20 amp rated, and will accept standard non explosion proof NEMA 5-20R or 6-20R plugs, although explosion proof plugs must be used to maintain explosion proof compliance in hazardous locations.
The cord receptacles feature a twist lock design, requiring the operator to insert the plug and twist it into position until it locks in order to activate the connection. This twist lock configuration provides a secure connection and helps to prevent inadvertent sparks before the connection is made. The extension cord also comes with an extra explosion proof plug for installation on existing devices, which provides operators with the assurance their equipment will connect and operate with this unit.

According to the company, the cords are commonly used with explosion proof lighting and/or power distribution systems, and allow multiple fixtures to be connected with a minimum of excess cord left that could pose an obstacle or safety hazard. "We offer a wide range of explosion proof extension cords with different lengths and connectors in stock; we also build custom configurations for customers on demand," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com.
Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com carries an extensive line of explosion proof cords, hazardous location receptacles and plugs, explosion proof switches, and explosion proof equipment accessories.
