FLAMEPROOF

Flameproof is a type of electrical and mechanical safety technique that is designed to prevent ignition of flammable gases, liquids, dusts, and solids in hazardous environments. The goal of flameproofing is to provide a safe, effective, and reliable method of operation in environments that can contain explosive materials. This technique uses a variety of different technologies to ensure that any sparks or heat produced by operating electrical and mechanical equipment does not cause a combustible material to ignite and explode. Examples of flameproof methods include flameproof wiring and enclosures, flameproof motors and drives, flameproof ventilation systems, and flameproof sealing materials.
