2. Electrical equipment in hazardous areas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_equipment_in...

   In electrical and safety engineering, hazardous locations (HazLoc, pronounced haz·lōk) are places where fire or explosion hazards may exist. Sources of such hazards include gases, vapors, dust, fibers, and flyings, which are combustible or flammable. Electrical equipment installed in such locations can provide an ignition source, due to ...

3. Intrinsic safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_safety

   Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost over ...

4. Explosion protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion_protection

   Avoidance makes it impossible for an explosion or deflagration to occur, for instance by means of suppressing the heat and the pressure needed for an explosion using an aluminum mesh structure such as eXess, by means of consistent displacement of the O 2 necessary for an explosion or deflagration to take place, by means of padding gas (f. i. CO 2 or N 2), or, by means of keeping the ...

5. Explosion vent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion_vent

   An explosion vent or rupture panel[1][2] is a safety device to protect equipment or buildings against excessive internal, explosion-incurred pressures, by means of pressure relief. An explosion vent will relieve pressure from the instant its opening (or activation) pressure pstat has been exceeded. Several explosion vent panels can be installed ...

6. ATEX directives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATEX_directives

   ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU was published on 29 March 2014, by the European Parliament. It refers to the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Regarding ATEX 99/92/EC Directive, the requirement is that Employers must classify areas where ...

7. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall. Pressure switches are widely used in industry to automatically supervise and control systems that use pressurized fluids.
