In this comprehensive one-day workshop you will learn about the latest requirements for intrinsically safe electrical products for hazardous locations (explosive atmospheres) applications.

Electrical devices and systems considered “intrinsically safe” operate at an energy level deemed low enough to prevent arcs, sparks or heat (during normal or fault conditions), that could ignite a potentially explosive environment. There are numerous benefits associated with the use of intrinsically safe equipment as opposed to applying other protection techniques, such as explosion-proof enclosures. Intrinsically safe products generally have reduced installation costs, and potentially lower material and production costs. In addition, intrinsically safe equipment is suitable for use in Division 1 and is the only protection technique allowed to be used in Zone 0 classified locations.
