Electrical Equipment Hazardous Areas
Introduction:
This course provides the candidates with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is based on the international IEC79 series of standards that are now replacing the older national standards. Installation utilizing Explosion-Protected (Ex) equipment can be expensive to design, install and operate. The wider approaches described in these standards can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety. The associated terminology and its correct use are explained throughout the course. It covers area classification, selection of explosion protected electrical apparatus as well as describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with these international requirements. Standards require that engineering staff and their management are trained effectively and safely in hazardous areas and this course is designed to help fulfill that need.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
