Intrinsic Safety A Brief Overview

Intrinsic Safety A Brief Overview

• If an electrical device is intrinsically safe, it
  is designed to be certified by an independent
  approving body, so that if it fails during normal
  use and operation it will not generate enough
  energy to ignite a flammable mixture of the
  hazard classes specified.
• Independent approving bodies include Factory
  Mutual (FM), Underwriters Laboratory (UL),
  Canadian Underwriters Laboratory (cUL), and MSHA
  (Mine Safety and Health Administration)

• NFPA 325 Guide to Fire Hazard Properties of
  Flammable Liquids, Gases and Volatile Solids
• NFPA 497M
• NFPA 70 National Electric Code (NEC)

Intrinsic Safety Hazardous Locations

• Hazardous locations are places where the
  possibility of fire or explosion exists because
  of flammable gases, vapors, or fine dusts in the
  air. The National Electric Code (NEC) segregates
  hazardous environments into classes, divisions,
  and groups.
• Class I Divisions I II (most hazardous) Groups
  A, B, C, D
• Class II Divisions I II Groups E, F, G
• Class II Divisions I II (least hazardous)

11
Intrinsic Safety Class I Groups

• Hazardous Locations are further defined after
  Class Division by groups of chemicals from the
  most volatile and explosive to the least.
