Barriers General Information What is Explosion Protection? Explosion Mechanism For an explosion to occur, both hazardous atmosphere (mixture of explosive gas/vapor and air) and ignition source from electrical equipment must exist. The first step for explosion prevention is to prevent the three factors (explosive gas/vapor, air, and ignition source) from existing at the same time. Explosive Gas/Vapor PLCs OI Touchscreens General Information + Air (oxygen) + Ignition Source Explosion Automation Software Ignition source: Electrical equipment which originates electrical sparks or has a high temperature,...

Barriers General Information Explosion Protection Types Hazardous Area Non-hazardous Area OI Touchscreens Intrinsically Safe Structure • Structure in which voltage and current are limited so that no sparks, arc, and thermal effect produced by electric equipment (switch, pilot light, etc) in hazardous areas are capable of causing ignition of explosive gas/vapor. Barrier PLCs Switch, pilot light, sensor, thermocouple buzzer, etc. Power Supply Type of connectable equipment depends on the barrier type. Automation Software Wiring distance is limited by wiring capacitance and inductance. Features:...
