Used equipment -reply problems.

2002-11-18 Thread Michael Taylor
I apologize for the missing attachment.
We have new virus detection software on our LAN system that thinks any
attachment is fair game.
I think I caught everyone on the re-send.
If you did not receive a reply with the attachment please re-send your
request.
Sorry for the mix-up.  
I'm sure this new ^%$#@ LAN virus detection program must be from Microsoft.
No one else could create a piece of software so defective.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Books on Intrinsic safety and ATEX - summary

2002-11-18 Thread Chris Chileshe


The replies I got and some useful web sources ...

__

The Canadian Standards association published a book Hazardous Locations, A
guide for the design, construction and installation of Electrical Equipment.
It was written Pre-ATEX Directive, and I do not know if it has been updated
since then, but I find that it is a great reference document.
__

... an excellent primer on explosion protection by R. Stahl ..

http://www.rstahl.com/Exprotection/index.htm

Click on the pdf Basics of Explosion Protection for an in depth
look at this subject.  It's about 4.5 Mb.  The answers to your
questions are in there plus a whole lot more.

_

The best resource I know of is Factory Mutual Research,
Most of their standards are free or extremely cheap. And they 
always answer the phone. I am told they also are good with email, 
although I haven't bothered to test that.

Consider Intrinsically Safe Instrumentation Guide Robin Garside, 
Hexagon via RS components 907-894.

Re: Books on Intrinsic safety and ATEX

2002-11-18 Thread Jacob Schanker

Chris:

I hadn't been following the thread, so I apologize if this is duplicative.

A book that I picked up at the IEE headquarters in London a few years ago
cover a lot of ground in the safety and explosive atmospheres areas. It is:

Adams, J. Maxwell, Electrical Safety - a guide to the causes and prevention
of electrical hazards, The Institution of Electrical Engineers, IEE Power
Series 19, London, 1994 (ISBN 0 85296 806 X)

 Group,

 The last response to recommended reading on basic EMC was very
 good.

 Are there some recommended texts on application of the intrinsic
 safety standards, designing for I.S. and/or application of the
 directive?

 Any thoughts/pointers welcome

 Best regards
