The most comprehensive book on this subject available! A virtual encyclopedia of electrical safety, this latest edition features a new structure. The author rewrote and re-ordered the chapters, either to better reflect today's  perspective or to clarify the presentation. Magison expanded his treatment of theory and principles to provide a foundation for addressing some of the questions that arise when no  standard or regulation exists. He also added more practical  examples of applying principles in real situations. Recognizing the fact that the book's subject matter is truly an international concern, Magison increased the amount of space devoted to work outside North America. Contents: Historical Background and Perspective  Combustion and Explosion Fundamentals  Classification of Hazardous Locations and Combustible  Materials  Practice and Principles of Hazard reduction  Explosion-proof Enclosures  Reduction of Hazard by Pressurization  Encapsulation, Sealing and Immersion  Increased Safety  Type of Protection: 'e'  Ignition of Gases and Vapors  by Electrical Means  Intrinsically Safe and Non-incendive Systems  Design of Evaluation of Intrinsically Safe Apparatus  Intrinsically Safe Systems and Non-incendive Systems  Ignition by Optical Sources  Dust Hazards  Human Safety  Degree of Protection by Enclosures.
