Description	The safety and economic impact of unintentional ignition of explosive mixtures is something that should never be underestimated when processing, storing, generating or transporting combustible liquids, gases or dusts. Where hazardous atmospheres can exist, electricity should be a primary concern of every engineer and system designer. Hazardous atmospheres can exist not only in the more common surroundings of industrial, chemical, and environmental facilities, but also in many less obvious environs where dust is present, where gas can accumulate, and where combustible gas-forming reactions occur. To minimize risks in such areas, it is necessary to design speciﬁc hazard-reducing electrical systems. Most electrical equipment is built to speciﬁc standards aimed to reduce the incidence of ﬁres and human casualties. The majority of such incidents can be attributed to poor or defective installations, improper use of approved equipment, deteriorated equipment, and accidental applications. In combination with an explosive atmosphere, these factors can result in extremely dangerous conditions. Designing an electrical system for a hazardous location requires careful planning, research, engineering, and ingenuity in using proper protection techniques to develop better applications and classiﬁcations that reduce hazards.
