The safety barrier, also known as the safety energy limiter, is an important part of the intrinsic safety system. There are two main types of safety barriers: P+F Zener barriers and P+f barrier barriers. The core components of the Zener barrier are Zener diodes, current-limiting resistors and fast fuse wires.
P+F barrier safety barrier signal and power supply barrier unit, signal processing unit. The main function of the safety barrier is to limit the current and voltage, to ensure that the energy available on the surface of the site is within a safe range. The safety barrier is an energy-limiting circuit between the field equipment and the control room equipment, which is used to limit the electrical energy supplied to the field surface of the control room to neither the spark sufficient to detonate the risk gas nor the surface temperature sufficient to detonate the risk gas, thereby eliminating the detonation source. When selecting the safety barrier, it is necessary to consider the adaptation of the model to the type of appearance of the site, and also to consider the compatibility of the safety barrier with the requirements of intrinsic safety and the impedance matching in the intrinsically safe system.
What aspects should we pay attention to when using P+F safety barriers?
First, we should pay attention to the capacitive and inductive resistance of cables and field equipment, intrinsically safe explosion-proof is the system explosion-proof, in addition to the safety barrier needs to achieve the required explosion-proof level, the energy storage of cables and field equipment is also a key issue. Especially after the certification of the alternative system of parametric certification, engineering companies should pay special attention to this problem.
Second, it is necessary to pay attention to intrinsically safe grounding, Zener safety barriers need intrinsically safe grounding, and the grounding resistance should be less than 1.
Third, intrinsically safe cables and non-intrinsically safe cables should be laid separately in different trunkings. and should be prominently marked.
Fourth, pay attention to power failure when replacing.
