Protection and Compliance

All of our standard parts and custom parts have to be protected against the specific environment within which they operate and to comply with the appropriate standards. Our knowledge and familiarity with these requirements can be called upon when designing and operating in these areas.

Climatic Protection
To function correctly electrical systems need protection from dust and water in the environment and in some cases must withstand extreme temperature variation from arctic to desert or pressure from high altitudes.

Ruggedisation, Vibration and Shock Protection
It is essential that this be considered in vehicle mounted and transportable equipment.  Electrical equipment's life expectancy, reliability and cost of ownership can be severely affected if correct precautions are omitted.

ATEX Explosive Environments Protection
Antares TDC are part of an oil and gas support services group.  Our team in Aberdeen can provide the design and manufacture of ATEX certified enclosures within which the equipment can be mounted.

Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Frequency Interference
Our equipment is designed and tested to comply with EMC directive. Our detailed knowledge of this area enables us to support you in your compliance when supplying a component.  We are a VCA approved manufacturing facility and can design and produce e-marked products.

Electrical Safety
Safety is all important.  Our products and systems comply with the Low Voltage Directive which covers hazardous voltages.  We have working knowledge of the electrical standards for both equipment design and Electrical Installation.
