From the Preface
Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations is a single source of information designed to complement the many codes and standards produced by the many U.S. and international standards development organizations concerned with the installation of electrical equipment in hazardous locations.

Intended to serve as a general reference - not the final word on matters of code interpretation - Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations begins by thoroughly explaining exactly what hazardous locations are - and what they are not. From there it progresses in a linear fashion to more complex issues. Among the important subjects it covers are the following:

How to define and distinguish hazardous locations: classes, groups, and divisions.
Requirements for equipment protection systems.
Protecting against ignition from static electricity and lightning.
The distinctions between U.S. and international requirements.

The first edition of Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations was written with the intent of advising people who are unfamiliar with or who or occasionally become involved in the intricate details of electrical installations in hazardous locations. Prior to its publication, there was no single source for this general information. It was the intent of the authors of the first edition to fill that void. It is the hope of the present authors that this third edition continues to meet that objective.
