INTRINSIC SAFTY

Intrinsic safety is a special technology that ensures electrical devices remain safe in hazardous environments, such as those with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Even if a device malfunctions due to a short circuit, impact or static charge, it must not generate sparks or trigger ignition. This is achieved through special designs and protective measures, such as low-current sources or designated break points.
Intrinsically safe devices are commonly employed in measurement and control technology, particularly in industries such as chemicals and oil. The ability to store electrical energy in components such as capacitors or coils is also considered.
