The GALIDUX protection has been developed according to the regulations of the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU and the norm EN 1755 under the requirements for CATEGORY 2D or 3D.

This protection allows electrical vehicles to operate in hazardous areas classified as Zone 21 or 22, where the DUST classified as IIIA, IIIB or IIIC can be present in the atmosphere. The temperature will be according to specifications.

The GALIDUX conversion includes the modification of all systems and equipment to comply with the ATEX directive. The elements which might have ignition sources, like hot surfaces, hot exhaust gases, mechanical and electrical sparks, etc. are protected and/or modified with a different type of protection against dust (Protection by Enclosure (Ex tb), increased safety (Ex e) Intrinsic Safety (Ex i), Encapsulation (Ex m), etc.

The vehicle continues working with the presence of dust in the atmosphere.

COMPONENTS (depending on the category CAT2D or CAT3D the components might vary), some examples as follows:

• Protected accessories (lights, turn signals, windshield wiper, etc.)
• Electrical Motors
• Protection Spark Generating Equipment
• Brass / Stainless Steel Cladding Forks
• Protected Friction Brakes
• Traction Battery and Connectors
• Electro Valves
• Electrostatic Elements:
• – Antistatic Wheels
• – Metallic elements connected to vehicle chassis
• – Non Metallic elements (Seats, plastic parts, etc.)
• Wiring revision and modification
• We add a Protection System by Gali (Temperature control, Isolation Leakage Control, Brake wear, etc.)
• Required documentation under ATEX directive Certificate Gali

(These points may vary as per the vehicle, category or Technical Analysis by Gali Int.).
