Work In Explosive Atmosphere

Description

An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of dangerous substances with air, under atmospheric conditions, in the form of gases, vapors, mist, or dust in which, after ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture. All equipment used in such an atmosphere is classed as explosion-proof to mitigate the risk of explosion. To maintain the explosion-proof integrity of the equipment, we need trained people to work in an explosive atmosphere.  

This  course provides delegate’s with an understanding of the terminology and protection concepts for electrical instrument / equipment utilized in explosive atmospheres. Course contains IEC Standards and ATEX European Directives, including the preparation, installation, inspection and maintenance of electrical instrument / equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
