Description

Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations, 2008 Edition, provides a basic and critical understanding of fire and explosion safety.

Before beginning work in hazardous locations it is essential to have a basic understanding of fire and explosion safety in these specialized sites. Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations provides the practical advice needed to safely work in dangerous locations.

Now in its third edition, Electrical Installations in Hazardous Locations continues to be the single, comprehensive source of in-depth information on the codes and standards concerning the installation of electrical equipment in hazardous locations. Designed to provide a general reference on the various aspects of installation in hazardous locations, the book begins with a thorough explanation of what hazardous locations are and are not before progressing to more complex issues such as requirements for equipment protection systems, ways of protecting against ignition from static electricity, and much more. Written by experts in the field, the Third Edition has been fully updated to represent the most current technology, up-to-date references, and the latest national and international codes and standards.

Accessible text covers key topics such as:

Equipment protection systems.
Protection against ignition from static electricity and lightning.
National Electrical Code compliance.
Don't start work in hazardous locations without this updated edition of the best-selling text from NFPA.

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.
