At Brewmation we take the Fire Code very seriously and design our solutions in accordance with the NEC and cUL requirements. We build our panels with the required barrier controls that are UL 698A certified (as required by electrical inspectors for controls used in a hazardous location such as a still.)
The control panel can be located outside of the C1D2 are, as shown above. In this case, the sensors and simple devices need to be connected inside of the C1D2 area. To accomplish this safely and in accordance with the NEC, these intrinsic and/or simple devices need to be connected to the control panel via a hazardous location barrier system certified to UL 698A. In addition, powered items (such as a mixer motor and heating elements), need to carry explosion proof ratings and be field wired to the control panel per the NEC by a licensed electrician.
We’ll help you through setting up your still in accordance with the local requirements and to the highest safety standards to protect your team, factility, and equipment.
