This book provides the reader with an understanding of the hazards
involved in using electrical equipment in Potentially Explosive
Atmospheres. It is based on the newly adopted international IEC79
Series of Standards that are now harmonizing and replacing older
national Standards. Explosion-proof installations can be expensive
to design, install and operate. The strategies and techniques
described in this book can significantly reduce costs whilst
maintaining plant safety. The book explains the associated
terminology and its correct use - from Area Classification through
to the selection of explosion-protected electrical apparatus,
describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with
these international requirements. The IEC standards require that
engineering staff and their management are trained effectively and
safely in Hazardous Areas, and this book is designed to help
fulfill that need. A basic understanding of instrumentation and
electrical theory would be of benefit to the reader, but no
previous knowledge of hazardous area installation is required.
*An engineer's guide to the hazards and best practice for using
electrical equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres.
*Fully in line with the newly adopted international standards, the
IEC79 series.
*Clear explanations of terminology and background information make
this the most accessible book on this subject.
