  • Abstract
    The intrinsic safety approach for making electric equipment safe in hazardous areas is to limit energy levels to values too low to cause ignition. Safe energy levels are adequate for instrumentation. Advantages include elimination of cumbersome explosion-proof housings, ease of servicing, and equipment that is more nearly foolproof. Code status both here and abroad is reviewed
