Appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment should be installed in hazardous areas. In areas where hydrogen is handled, explosion proof electrical equipment adjacent to the hydrogen handing facility must be reviewed for selection of gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment. When selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility in areas where hydrogen and flammable substance are handled, the method to avoid gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment has been suggested by using the operating pressure of the hydrogen handling facility. When the operating pressure of the outdoor hydrogen handling facility is 1.065 MPa or less, it has been confirmed that there is no need to install gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment for the flammable substance handling facility adjacent to the hydrogen handling facility. And the method of selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility has been suggested as a flowchart, so it will be able to be utilized when selecting appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment.

For lighting of dark and hazardous workplace such as compartment of ships under construction, workers should use hand lamps of explosion-proof type. However, the heavy weight of such lamps has prevented most impatient workers from using such types of lamps extensively. In this paper, we developed a light weight hand lamp of intrinsic safety type which reduced the weight a lot while maintaining or improving the lighting and explosion-proof function. We made a prototype which consisted of lamp fixture and high frequency power supply. Testing results show that the hand lamp meets well all the explosion-proof testing requirements of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. And more, we surveyed the explosion protection technology of a light weight hand lamp, and suggested the advantage/disadvantage to apply lighting of hand lamp about economical aspect.

Article 325 (Prevention of Fire Explosion due to Electrostatic) of the Rule for Occupational Safety and Health Standard specifies that in order to prevent the risk of disasters caused by static electricity, fire, explosion and static electricity in the production process, However, in order to do this, it is absolutely necessary to use a pre-detection technology and a detector for antistatic discharge prediction, which is a precautionary measure by static electricity in a fire / explosion hazard place, but in Korea, And there is no technical standard for the application of the technology of the explosion proof structure of the related equipment. Research methods include domestic and overseas electrostatic discharge detection technology and literature investigation of related equipment explosion proofing technology, domestic and foreign electrostatic discharge detection device production and use situation investigation, advanced foreign technology data analysis and benchmarking. In particular, we sought to verify the results of empirical experiments using electrostatic discharge detection technology through sample purchase and analysis of related major products, development of optimization technology through prototype production, evaluation, and supplementation, and expert knowledge through expert consultation. The results of this study were developed and fabricated two prototypes of electrostatic discharge detector based on the technology / standard related to electrostatic discharge detection technology in Korea and abroad through development of electrostatic discharge detection technology and development and production of detector. In addition, based on the development of electrostatic discharge detection technology, we developed an intrinsic safety explosion proof ib class explosion proof technology applicable to the process of using and handling flammable gas and flammable liquid vapor and combustible dust. In the case of the over voltage and minimum voltage are supplied to the explosion-proof structure ESD detector, check the state of the circuit and the transient and transient currents generated by the coil and capacitor elements during the input and standby of the signal pulse voltage. Explosion-proof equipment-Part 11: Intrinsically safe explosion proof structure The comparative evaluation with the reference curve in Annex A of "i" confirms that the characteristics of the intrinsically safe explosion protection structure are met.

Due to the increase in the usage of explosive materials and terrorism, the interest towards the superior explosion protective HPFRCC has risen. In existing research, the optimum ratio for solving the problematic problems such as the optimum fiber incorporation rate and the self-shrinkage crack of HPFRCC had been derived. However, there had been few or even no research upon how effective HPFRCC would perform protective explosion-proof in actual explosion. Therefore, this research compared the explosion-proof performance of HPFRCC according to fiber commination and mixing ratio. As a result, the combination of steel fiber and organic fiber showed excellent flow and strength, and it also improved the explosion resistance.

In the hazardous areas where explosive substances in the form of gases, vapor or mists exist, electrical apparatus and installations must be of explosion-proof construction to prevent or limit the danger of the ignition of potentially explosive atmosphere. In Korea, six types of protection have been specified in the government regulations at present: flameproof enclosure, pressurization, oil immersion, increased safety, intrinsic safety, and special types. If electrical apparatus are made of explosion-proof construction in a way other than five above-mentioned types, and their performance is tested and approved by the reponsible authorities, they may be categorized as special type apparatus. In this paper, we introduced a special type of explosion-proof electrical apparatus, called non-incendive type, and presented its constructional requirements. We also investigated evaluation methods of non-incendive type apparatus to assure the explosion-proof performance, and proposed a new classification method of hazardous areas using probabilistic concept.

This thesis is about the study of inverter terminal boxes in a explosion proof type exhaust fan that can control wind volume and operating time. In Korea, there is no ventilator to adjust the amount of wind and operating time when working in poor conditions. The purpose of the project is to create a explosion terminal box that can control the operating time and wind speed of a suitable explosion ventilator in hazardous environments. The two explosion-proof switches allow the operation time to be driven 1 hour, 3 hours and continuous time, and the speed of the induction motor rotation was set in 3 stages at 2000 rpm, 2600 rpm and 3000 rpm to control the volume. The tested motor used a half-horsepower barrier three-phase induction motor and a full-bridge inverter to set the desired flow rate and operating time.
