Practical power system harmonics explained
IDC Technologies is presenting a workshop on "Practical power system harmonics, earthing and power quality" for engineers and technicians in cities around the UK and Ireland in April 2005.
This practical, intensive, two-day workshop explains the application concepts of explosion protection using intrinsic safety (IS or ExI).
This is with reference to British, European and International Standards for the certification and use of electrical 'apparatus' where electrical equipment is used in 'Potentially Flammable Atmospheres'.
The workshop covers intrinsic safety as the preferred technique for instrumentation applied to industrial plant I/O in hazardous areas.
Engineers and technicians working in hazardous process control and instrumentation areas must have an understanding of the close integration between the safety and operational aspects of intrinsic safety (IS) as a protection technique in order to specify, design and maintain systems.
The workshop is designed to explain the theory of IS and its close integration with operational signal transfer.
Delegates will gain a greater understanding of IS loop concepts as a basis for working with measurement and control loops using standard and custom IS solutions.
Finally, the workshop looks at the accurate definition and application of the terminology - a skill necessary to communicate and document important safety details.
The instructor, Geoff Bottrill, is an expert having worked in the instrumentation, measurement and control fields for over 25 years, but specialising in intrinsic safety, hazardous areas and instrumentation drawings during the past fifteen.
