Intrinsic Safety

Division, MTL Products, Global Energy Infrastructure Solutions
Intrinsic Safety (IS) offers unique advantages compared to other protection methods for the safe use of
low-powered electronic instrumentation in potentially explosive hazardous areas. This seminar will
highlight those advantages and demonstrate how the “Zener” barrier’s simple circuit design achieves IS
protection using an electrical engineering perspective in layman’s terms. The presentation will include
a hard-wired demonstration and circuit simulation software to visualize how IS works. In addition,
videos of explosions will be shown along with a live demonstration of electric (arc) spark ignition. IS
product specifications and standards will also be discussed to facilitate the engineer’s IS product
selection knowledge.
