HOME / Wind power generation hazardous area classification table - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTD“Hazardous Area Classification” is the term used by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in their standards documents to describe such a safety assessment. While an HAC is often thought of as dealing strictly with electrical hazards, there is a wide array of ignition sources that can spark a fire or explosion in a plant environment.
The hazardous area classification system determines required protection techniques and methods for electrical installations in the location. The Class/Division/Group system is based on Article 500 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) where Class defines the general nature (or properties) of the hazardous material in the surrounding atmosphere.
Hazardous areas are classified into zones based on an assessment of the frequency of the occurrence and duration of an explosive gas atmosphere, as follows: Zone 2: An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation and, if it occurs, will only exist for a short time.
The potential release of which must be considered in area classification for electrical installations, include flammable gases, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and vapors of flammable liquids. Flammable gases commonly encountered include methane and its mixture with small quantities of low-molecular weight hydrocarbons.
