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 ...

AutomationDirect has added more intrinsically safe isolation barriers from STAHL. These modules ensure only a safe amount of energy resides in an electrical circuit, installed in a potentially ...

Stringent occupational health and safety regulations prohibit the use of non-compliant equipment on coal mines, chemical and petro-chemical plants. With the risk of explosions always top of mind, ...

The unit's intrinsically-safe field connections provide the necessary protection typically afforded by a galvanically isolated intrinsically safe barrier. In addition, the unit cuts wiring and ...
