Electrical Safety Goals
Ohm’s Law:
One volt will cause a current of one ampere
to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
E
(Volts)
I R
(Amps) (Ohms)
Electrical Fundamentals
Assume a person is working and perspiring and has a
hand-to-hand resistance of 1,000 ohms. This person
contacts 220 volts with one hand and touches a
ground surface with the other, completing a loop to
the voltage source.
What would be the current going through the
body?
I = E/R = 220/1,000 = 0.22 amp = 220 mA
Electrical Fundamentals
Power:
Is measured in watts and is equal to E(volts)
x I(current). One watt would be equal to one
ampere of current flowing through a resistor with
one volt of potential difference.
Consider a 12-watt electric bulb that is
being used in a 220 volt light socket.
I = P/E = 12/220 = 0.05amp = 50mA

Classifications of Location
Class I - Where those in which flammable
vapors and gases may be present.
Class II - Where those in which combustible
dust may be found.
Class III - Where those in which there are
ignitable fibers suspended in the atmosphere.
Hazardous Location
Division of Classes
Division I locations are designated as such
because a flammable gas, vapor, dust, or easily
ignitable material is normally present in
hazardous quantities.
Division II locations, the existence of
hazardous quantities of these materials is not
normal but they occasionally exist either
accidentally or when material in storage is
handled
Hazardous Location
Equipment Requirements:
Intrinsically Safe
Explosion Proof
Dust-ignition Proof
