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 ...

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 ...

To prevent unintentional interference during testing and servicing, intrinsically safe circuits must be identified at terminal and junction locations [504.80]. To prevent unintentional interference ...
