What is the Difference between Type of Protection Intrinsically Safe and Explosion Proof?
A hazardous area refers to an environment where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts, combined with potential sources of ignition. When electrical or electronic equipment is installed in such areas, faults may generate heat or sparks capable of igniting these substances, potentially leading to explosions with severe consequences for both people and the environment. To minimize these risks, the most widely used protection methods are Intrinsic Safety and Explosion Proof and Flameproof design. In this blog we will try to explain the differences between the three.
