Turck's Hazardous Area Wiring Practices Seminar

This course highlights Intrinsic Safety and Non-incendive wiring practices for Class I/II/III Division 1 and Class I Division 2 hazardous areas. Students will discuss the National Electrical Code (NEC) and gain an understanding of hazardous area classification, electrical equipment protection, Intrinsic Safety, and Non-incendive wiring practices.

Who should attend?
This course is open to anyone interested in learning more about hazardous area wiring practices. It is intended for technicians, application engineers, sales engineers, and end users who install or specify cable and/or instruments in hazardous areas.

Upon completion of this course students will be able to:

Understand US and European classifications of hazardous areas
Describe some electrical equipment protection methods
Explain some differences between Intrinsic Safety and Non-incendive wiring practices
Understand some benefits of Intrinsic Safety

AGENDA

Introduction to hazardous areas and Intrinsic Safety
Compares & contrasts US and European protection methods. Highlights Intrinsic Safety wiring practices found in NEC504. Compares & contrasts intrinsically safe barrier types (TIB vs. Zener). Discusses “real world” benefits of Intrinsic Safety.

Process wiring solutions for hazardous areas
Discuss Class I Div 2 non-incentive cable types and wiring requirements. Describes how quick-disconnect technology works with non-incendive and Intrinsically Safe wiring practices.

Labs
Students will apply the concepts of Intrinsically Safe and non-incendive field wiring.

LAB 1: Wire an intrinsically safe field device to an apparatus and verify IS circuit

LAB 2: Wire a non-incentive field device using quick-disconnection technology.
