Intrinsic safety cables and non-intrinsic safety cables

2017-06-29View Original

Thread Content

Our intrinsically safe cables are used in intrinsically safe systems equipped with safety barriers, while non-intrinsically safe cables are used for electrical connection and signal transmission as well as for powering instruments at 24V. What are the differences in their structural materials, and what are the differences in price?

In this case, the cable requires high levels of distributed capacitance and distributed inductance, as well as shielding, including a main shield and separate shields.

1. Intrinsic safety cables are generally blue, while non-intrinsic safety cables are usually black. 2. Intrinsic safety cables feature low capacitance and low inductance, as well as excellent shielding and interference resistance; therefore they are suitable for use as transmission lines in distributed control systems and automated detection control systems in applications where explosion protection is required. When installing intrinsic safety cables and non-intrinsic safety cables in raceways, separators must be used as specified. 3. Intrinsic safety cables are definitely more expensive than non-intrinsic safety cables; if there are no special requirements, it is sufficient to use non-intrinsic safety cables. Here is another link to a post: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1427395-1-1.html, which discusses the question of whether non-intrinsic safety cables can be used as substitutes for intrinsic safety cables.
