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 ...

Unlike explosion-proof schemes, which aim to contain explosions inside enclosures, intrinsic safety keeps them from ever happening at all. Consider whether it makes sense for your production ...

North American companies are beginning to move toward intrinsically-safe systems, already well established in Europe, that use currents and voltages too low to spark an explosion in a hazardous ...

An engineered solution to industrial speed and position control applications for hazardous environments is available with the Intrinsic Safety Barrier. Designed to complement the company’s UL, cUL and ...
