Description:
This course provides a detailed, systematic approach to specifying and implementing instrumentation in hazardous locations. Related standards from National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), American Petroleum Institute (API), and ISA are discussed.
You will be able to:
- Identify process and environmental factors that determine classification
- Describe and use procedures for electrical classification
- Use applicable standards to develop classification drawings for gases, dusts, and fibers
- Describe the basic principles of protection
- Select explosion proof apparatus for specific applications
- Determine when and why explosion seals should be used
- Specify the use of intrinsically safe and nonincendive systems
- Select the appropriate protective techniques for different hazards
- Select alternative protective techniques for reduced cost
