What Is an Intrinsic Safety Barrier?
Intrinsic safety barriers are devices designed to safely connect electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres. They prevent sparks and ignition by insulating connection points of electrical equipment, mitigating explosion risks.
Used in chemical plants, refineries, and gas facilities, these barriers are crucial for safe electrical equipment use in explosive environments. They come in glass tube types for strength and heat resistance, and molded resin types for flexibility and impact resistance.
