Explosion-Proof vs. Intrinsically Safe vs. Purged Enclosures

Explosion-Proof vs. Intrinsically Safe vs. Purged Enclosures: Choosing Protection Methods for Hazardous Locations Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe are two different ways to prevent electrical equipment from igniting a flammable atmosphere. Explosion-proof equipment contains an ignition inside a heavy enclosure so it cannot spread to the surrounding gas. Intrinsically safe equipment limits the electrical energy in […]
