Practical intrinsic safety in Ex environments

Practical intrinsic safety in Ex environments

 

Join our webinar on September 17

Join Didier Lannois, Ex Safety Specialist, for a focused 30-minute webinar on designing intrinsically safe (Ex i) systems for hazardous areas.

Whether you're an engineer, project manager, or safety professional, you'll gain practical guidance to help simplify your Ex i projects and meet the relevant requirements of the IEC 60079 series, including key principles for the design and assessment of intrinsically safe systems..
 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why Intrinsic Safety (Ex i) is a widely used method for preventing ignition in hazardous areas by limiting the electrical and thermal energy in the circuit.
     

  • How to compile Descriptive System Documentation in accordance with relevant IEC 60079 requirements, including:
     

    • Component lists.

    • Wiring diagrams.

    • Energy calculations.

    • Verification checklists.
       

  • We’ll explain the essential system elements involved:
     

    • Power supplies.

    • Field devices.

    • Cable inductance and capacitance.
       

  • The difference between simple apparatus and certified devices.
     

  • Understanding protection levels ‘ia’, ‘ib’, and ‘ic’ and their application in Zones 0–2.
     

  • How gas groups and temperature classes influence device selection.
     

  • A practical case study on designing and verifying a temperature transmitter circuit following the relevant requirements of IEC 60079-14 and IEC 60079-25.

 

Agenda:

  1. Welcome & objectives.

  2. Intrinsic Safety fundamentals.

  3. Descriptive system documentation deep dive.

  4. System design: Devices, cabling & certification.

  5. Protection levels, gas groups & temperature classes.

  6. Practical walkthrough: system analysis & DSD creation.

  7. LIVE Q&A and closing remarks.
