CTC AC915 - Intrinsically Safe Accelerometer, Top Exit Connector / Cable, 100 mV/g Low Capacitance

In the many industrial processes where flammable materials are handled, any leak or spillage may give rise to an explosive atmosphere. To protect both personnel and the plant, precautions must be taken to ensure that this atmosphere cannot be ignited. The areas at risk are known as ‘hazardous areas’ and the materials that are commonly involved include crude oil and its derivatives, natural and man-made process gases, alcohols, metal dusts, carbon dust, flour, starch, grain and fibers.

Intrinsic Safety (IS) is based on the principle that the electrical energy in hazardous-area circuits is deliberately restricted such that any electrical sparks or hot spots that may occur are too weak to cause ignition. This is achieved by inserting an energy-limiting interface in the wiring between safe and hazardous areas. The interface passes signals in either direction as required but limits the voltage and current that can reach the hazardous area under fault conditions. It may be integral with the safe-area equipment or separate for greater flexibility.
