Intrinsically
Safe Barriers

Technology
Hazardous Explosive atmosphere
Area
The hazardous area is a dangerous combination of
Flammable Substances, Oxygen and Sources of Ignition
that can generate an explosion.

The combustible material can be Gas, Vapor or Dust.

Given that Oxygen is always present, the only way to


avoid ignitions is to control the Ignition Source caused by
the electrical apparatus.

Any device introduced in the hazardous area must be


compatible and certified for the level of dangerousness.

G.M. International © All rights reserved, also regarding any disposal, exploitation, reproduction, editing, distribution, as well as in the event of applications for industrial property rights. 8
Hazardous Protection methods
Area
How to power and read signals from the field devices installed in the
hazardous area?
There are different methods based on different principles such as:

 Segregation (Encapsulation, Oil Immersion, Pressurization)


 Containment (Flameproof)
 Prevention (Increased Safety and INTRINSIC SAFETY)

Ex-p, Ex-o, Ex-m, Ex-e, etc. Ex-d Ex-i

G.M. International © All rights reserved, also regarding any disposal, exploitation, reproduction, editing, distribution, as well as in the event of applications for industrial property rights. 9
Hazardous Intrinsic safety
Area
Since Intrinsic safety is the most flexible and cost-effective
solution it has been standardized in many applications.
Based on ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU a specific device must
be connected between the power source and the field
devices to make the system safe.
This unit is called “Intrinsically Safe Barrier” or just “Barrier”.

↑ Better overall accuracy
↓ Requires routine Checks
↑ Lower installation cost
↑ Signal standardization (i.e 4-20mA, contact,…) ↓ Field sensor must be isolated
↑ Allows the use of grounded or poorly ↓ Zener leakage Infl. Accuracy

Intrinsically Manufacturing excellence
safe barriers WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE
Operating temperature certified from -40°C to +70°C

Very high reliability in extreme environment applications.

Reduced cabinet dimensions, require less ventilation.

Longer lifetime
Capability to withstand higher temperatures, improves the
lifetime in normal conditions (i.e. 30 °C).
Two devices with different temperature rating (i.e. +60°C and
+70°C) operating in the same environment (i.e. +50°C) have
different life expectancy; where the lower rated is
significantly shorter.
