What is internal security?
Internal safety means that a piece of equipment under any use conditions is unable to release any electric or thermal energy to cause ignition in any type of dangerous gaseous mixture that surrounds it. Therefore, it is a requirement for internal safety for equipment that is operated in areas with flammable gases, which ensures that there will be no risk of ignition due to the operation of the device. The device will not be able to ignite these gases under any operating conditions. The definition of electrical safety internally safe equipment is given by ISA-RP12-6.
Several modern production equipment includes oil storage, color production, textile mills and chemical plants. All these port environments with a predominance of flammable liquids, gases and couples. Operating electrical equipment in these hazardous environments requires not to be able to produce any means to ignite these gases and vapors. It is mandatory for electrical devices working in this type of tykaThe environment is adhered to by internal safety normal for electrical safety. Evaluation of evaluation of internal security approval could be a daunting even for even the most informed person. However, these internally safe approval are also necessary for the most up -to -date and rougher mobile computers that operate in such dangerous conditions.
gaining internal security or evaluation does not guarantee that the device can be operated in any dangerous environment. Each environment has its own specific certification requirement and all equipment operating in the environment must be certified for the level necessary for a particular environment. Certification of IS equipment is carried out in national recognized test laboratories or nrtl. These laboratories perform certifications according to extremely strict internal safety standards that differ according to the required IS -approval level. IS IS CThus, Ertified Electrical Electrical Equipment carries a label determining the exact level and the evaluation is together with the name Nrtl that tested it.
Internal safety barriers are devices used to connect IS with other devices without IS. This protection technique will limit the current, voltage and the total energy supplied to the device located in a dangerous area to prevent any explosion. Choosing an internal security barrier requires understanding and analysis of approval and specifications. These specifications include important parameters such as operating temperatures, maximum voltages and currents and the maximum number of input and output channels. Products can bear UL Mark (USA), CSA Mark (Canada), CE Mark (Europe) and indicate various national and international agencies that provide approval for internal security barriers. Approval also provides CENELEC or the European Committee for Electrical Standardization and Factory Mutual Research or FM as a non -profit test organization.
IS APPThe evaluation is not identical in all countries. It is essential to understand the differences between IS approval standards to certify the product for use in a specified country. However, ATEX certification standardizes the IS certification process between the US and Europe and makes internal safety certification a much easier process of electrical equipment to operate in both countries.
