Intrinsically Safe Solutions


Intrinsically Safe Solutions
Intrinsic safety (IS) barriers are a core component of an intrinsically safe solution. Intrinsic safety barriers are devices that limit current, voltage, & total energy delivered to a sensor or other instrument located in a hazardous area. Limiting the energy prevents fires & explosions from occurring in areas with hazardous chemicals, gases or other ignitable atmospheres.

Intrinsically safe equipment & wiring means the products are not capable of releasing sufficient energy in a circuit to ignite a flammable atmosphere in a hazardous area.

Choose from a broad variety of intrinsic safety barriers:

  • Isolated DIN rail mount IS barriers
  • Isolated circuit board (interface) mount barriers
  • Zener diode intrinsic safety barriers
We manufacture intrinsic safety barriers & other components as part of a complete intrinsically safe system for your specific application needs.
