Intrinsic Safety Circuit Design
Intrinsic safety training for ‘product’ designers
This 2 day introduction to Intrinsic Safety Circuit Design course is ideal for Engineers who wish to start designing intrinsically safe equipment or brush up on their knowledge of this complicated subject and perhaps learn some new methods of achieving safety. The presenter has conducted or checked hundreds of intrinsically safe projects and has ‘real world’ experience with both design and certification of intrinsically safe equipment.
Why use us for intrinsic safety design training?
- The course is run by a specialist with 20 years experience with ‘Ex’ and Intrinsic Safety Design and Certification. The presenter has completed thousands of ATEX projects including prototype design, manufacture and problem-solving. Intrinsic safety training will teach you how to design and document effectively, get certification faster and achieve more ‘flexible’ certification globally. As an ATEX/IECEx test laboratory and ATEX Certification Body, we can also demonstrate tests and verification methods, a unique feature of this course.
- We use an electronic cloud-based e-learning system. Once registered candidates can have immediate access to course notes which are updated electronically.
Intrinsic Safety Training Course Syllabus
Intrinsic safety design training for designers and certification engineers
- Day 1
- Introduction and Overview of Competence Requirements
- Deriving the required level of safety (area classification, EPL) for i.a, i.b. and i.c.
- Explosion Properties and Terminology required for intrinsic safety
- Intrinsically Safe ‘Certification’ and Certification Schemes (ATEX, IECEx, NEC500 & 505)
- Intrinsic safety overview. (A complete overview of the entire subject and how it all ‘works together’ before moving on to the detail with ‘i.c.’ specific issues and relaxations)
- Intrinsically Safe Systems Overview (cables, barriers and earthing)
- Day 2
- Power Supply Assessment (Calculations, matched power, batteries including test demonstration)
- Energy storage (assessment of capacitance and inductance, methods of reducing energy or permitting more energy, design methods, tricks and tips used by experts, spark testing)
- Use of safety components (zener shunt, diodes for blocking and inductance control, resistors with capacitance) and safety component rating and de-rating (zeners).
- Separation & Segregation (Creepgage, clearance, tracks, encapsulation, CTI)
- Thermal Assessment (small component rules, thermal calculations, potting, testing)
Certification
- An Course Attendance Certificate for the Intrinsic Safety Training is issued to all delegates.
Advanced Courses and Workshops
Immediately after the ‘Introduction to Intrinsic Safety For Product Designers’ course there is a 3 day advanced intrinsically safe design workshop for delegates who wish to gain a more advanced knowledge of modern intrinsic safety design.
We offer a 10% discount on the cost when both courses are booked as a 5 day course.
