12/27/12 Hazardous Location Classifications Schemes and Compliance

The conditions intended for coverage under ATEX and Class/Division schemes involve work environments where potentially explosive or flammable gases, vapors, dusts and flyings such as wood chips are encountered and so are similar in their requirements. There are, however, clear differences which are manifested in how environments are classified which in the North American NEC based system are classed as Divisions and in the ATEX system as Zones.

11/07/12 United States Hazardous Location Device Testing and Certification

Unlike electrical devices intended for use in typical commercial or household applications, equipment used in hazardous locations must prevent, prohibit, or otherwise mitigate the dangers posed by flammable gases, vapors and materials that can create an explosive atmosphere. In order for there to be a clear manner of ensuring the minimum amount of protection a device provides, it has been necessary for federal, state and local agencies to enact regulations [...]

09/01/12 T12 Fluorescent Light Phaseout and Upgrade Alternatives

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 helped usher in a new era of tighter energy efficiency standards, and although the T12 for its time was indeed an efficient luminary, its design is such the further improvements to increase its efficiency are neither practical nor cost effective. As a result, the T12 is unable to meet the new energy standards required for modern lighting technologies and as of July 2012 was phased out of production. [...]

07/06/12 What is Explosion Proof Compliance and Why Do We Need Approved Equipment?

Without an understanding of why equipment approved for hazardous locations is required, it is nearly impossible to properly protect against the dangers hazardous locations present. Equipment designed for use in hazardous locations is designed to protect against the potential for such equipment to ignite flammable or explosive vapors, gases, liquids, dusts and otherwise dangerous flammable atmospheres and materials.

05/31/12 What is Explosion Proof Lighting?

At the basic level, explosion proof lighting is equipment designed to prevent the ignition of flammable or explosive materials, gases, or vapors. Lighting is one of the most commonly encountered electrical devices in any type of workplace and the types of lighting used can range from high power permanent fixtures to a common flashlight used for portable illumination. Every type of light used in a hazardous location must be explosion proof certified regardless of its size or type. Since lighting [...]

01/31/12 Fluorescents, LEDs and Color Rendering Index: More than Just Color Reproduction

The color rendering index is a scale devised some time ago to measure how colors may change in appearance when illuminated by a light source as compared to an accepted standard light source with the same color temperature. For example, a color chart with several different colors may be set up and illuminated with an incandescent lamp which is used as a standard reference. Then, the same color chart will be illuminated with a fluorescent lamp and any changes in how each of the colors appear are t [...]

01/30/12 Lighting Color Temperature in Basic Terms and Applications

Commercial applications most often make use of lamps producing cool white light in the 4000 to 6500 Kelvin range because their light is sharper and more intense, with better color rendering and contrasting properties. Objects illuminated by these lamps appear brighter, more sharply defined, making these lamps well suited for offices, retail stores and commercial areas where detail and sharpness is important. Lamps with temperatures around 5000-5500 Kelvin are usually considered to produce natu [...]

11/22/11 Paint Spray Booth Lighting: Safety and Effectiveness

Lighting for paint spray booths must adhere to federal and local regulations regarding the use of lighting in hazardous locations. OSHA offers a wealth of information on explosion proof lighting and hazardous locations and it is never a bad idea to familiarize yourself with what they have to offer if you’ll be operating a paint booth. Lighting for spray paint booths must be approved for hazardous locations and carry certification proving its suitability for use in a particular environment. Paint [...]

09/26/11 Paint Booth Lights for Modern Paint Types

Paint manufacturers have taken these physical properties farther, and now use various pigments and materials to enhance the reflective or absorption properties of other materials to produce colors of exceptional intensity and hue. The problem for paint booth operators is obvious; with such complexities introduced into paint coloration and characteristics, being able to accurately match or reproduce colors is made more difficult. When light hitting an object does not contain a full spectrum of co [...]

09/26/11 Paint Spray Booth Lighting Fundamentals

Of huge importance to paint spray booth applications is the safety regulation compliance of the lighting equipment and its suitability for use in a hazardous environment. Due to the flammable nature of the chemicals and compounds used within the booth, removing potential sources of ignition is critical. Since any electrical equipment used is a potential source of heat, sparks or flame, it must be properly designed and certified for use in hazardous locations. Paint spry booth lighting that is mo [...]

02/21/11 Hazardous Locations: Know Your Explosion Proof Classifications

The NEC classifies hazardous locations according to three criteria, Type, Condition and Nature. The types of hazardous locations are determined according to the kind of dangerous materials or compounds that are present. An environment where flammable gases or vapors such as petrochemicals or natural gas are present in enough quantities to be potentially flammable or explosive and could be ignited by a spark or heat is considered a Class 1 hazardous location.

09/02/10 Spray Booth Lights: Which Type for Best Results?

Most paint spray booths utilize one of two types of lighting fixtures in their design, either fluorescent tubes, or high intensity discharge lamps. Incandescent lamps are poor choices for spray booth applications because they are highly inefficient, have very short life-spans, and produce copious amounts of heat during their operation. [...]

08/02/10 Confined Space Lighting for Hazardous Locations

Confined spaces represent some of the most dangerous work places in commercial industries. Because of their enclosed nature confined spaces are poorly ventilated and allow volatile gases, fumes, vapors, and particulates to accumulate and increase in atmospheric density to potentially explosive levels. Confined spaces represent a hazardous work area and are loosely defined by a few general characteristics. [...]

07/20/10 “Explosion Proof”: Its Not Just a Label

Hazardous work areas are one of the most demanding environments for the workers and equipment that must operate within them.
