Standex-Meder Electronics announces its new ATEX optocoupler for intrinsically safe circuits. Standex-Meder Electronics announces its new ATEX optocoupler for intrinsically safe circuits. The ...

Intrinsically safe circuits are designed so that there is insufficient energy in the power supply to cause local heating or a spark that could ignite an inflammable gas. There are two main levels of ...

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 ...

THERE is an urgent need for a comprehensive theoretical correlation between the constants of a complex circuit and its intrinsic safety in the presence of inflammable gases. This has not yet been ...

Littelfuse, Inc., introduced its first encapsulated surface mount fuse, certified to UL 913 standard designed for intrinsic safety protection. During overcurrent and short circuit fault conditions, ...

Article 501 through 503 form a trilogy. Art. 505 provides an alternative to Art. 501; Art. 506 provides an alternative to Art. 502 and 503. Between these two sets is Art. 504. It’s sandwiched there ...

If you’re responsible for overseeing operations in high-risk industries like oil and gas, mining, or chemical manufacturing, you know the threat of accidents in explosive atmospheres is ever-present.

As you develop your safety plan for a hazardous production environment, you might want to move beyond the explosion-proof methods that have been popular for so many years in the U.S., and start ...
