Identify hazardous zones, learn codes, standards and certification requirements. The National Electrical Code® (NEC) defines hazardous locations as those areas where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers or flyings. Articles 500 through so4, and 510 through 517 provide classification and installation standards for the use of electrical equipment in the three classified hazardous locations: type, condition and nature. Also learn about design issues, proper grounding and bonding, safe wiring methods and maintenance techniques.
