How to use the explosion-proof switchboard correctly?

Explosion-proof switchboards are designed to prevent explosions by trapping any sparks or heat generated within the switchboard and preventing them from escaping to the surrounding area. To use one correctly, you should
Ensure that the switchboard is installed in a suitable location that meets the required hazardous area classification.
Ensure that all electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician and that all wiring is carried out in accordance with local and national regulations.
Ensure that the switchboard is properly earthed.
Ensure that the switchboard is properly ventilated to prevent heat or gas build-up.
Inspect the switchboard regularly for damage or wear and repair or replace parts as necessary.
Use only explosion-proof equipment in the switchboard and ensure that the equipment is compatible with the switchboard rating.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for operation and maintenance.
Always disconnect the power supply to the cabinet before carrying out maintenance or repairs.
Keep the area around the switchboard clean and free of combustible materials.
