Why Intrinsically Safe
Explosion prevention is a prime consideration in plants and facilities containing
hazardous atmospheres where “explosion-proof” housings are used.
The main fault with the “explosion-proof” housing system is that a single human
error could create a light explosion probability. Such occurrences as, failing to
tightly replace covers on “explosion-proof” housings, failing to shut off the power
before removing the cover of such a housing, and damaging the machined
surfaces of such covers are all prime examples.
Intrinsically Safe systems are now recognized as a more highly desirable
means of providing automated control functions in explosive environments. The
technique relies on the inherent parameters of electronic circuits, so that no
energy can be released under normal or abnormal operating conditions, of
sufficient magnitude to ignite a specified atmospheric mixture.
