Intrinsic safety (IS) is an electrical design approach that prevents explosions from occurring by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate ...

North American companies are beginning to move toward intrinsically-safe systems, already well established in Europe, that use currents and voltages too low to spark an explosion in a hazardous ...

Unlike explosion-proof schemes, which aim to contain explosions inside enclosures, intrinsic safety keeps them from ever happening at all. Consider whether it makes sense for your production ...

Bel Fuse is aiming at hazardous environments with a series of 3 x 8.4mm fast-acting ceramic tube fuses. Type 0AMA fuses are designed for barrier circuits in intrinsic safety applications – ...

Stringent occupational health and safety regulations prohibit the use of non-compliant equipment on coal mines, chemical and petro-chemical plants. With the risk of explosions always top of mind, ...
