Hazardous Area Isolators
ATEX Isolators - Zone 22 Category 3D Isolators
Craig & Derricott ATEX certified isolators and switch disconnectors for hazardous area Group II, Zone 22, Cat 3D Non-Conductive Dusts - typical installation areas include grain mills, textiles, cargo handling, powder coating plant, chemicals, woodworking and waste processing.
From July 2006 the onus was placed upon companies to ensure that all electrical equipment within their site organisation is suitable for the environment in which it is being used - this was aimed particularly at hazardous areas where there may be a possibility of a combustible atmosphere being present, even for short periods i.e. less than 10 hours/year.
People normally think of such atmospheres as being gases, mists or vapours - however there are various industries where a conductive or non-conductive dust mixed with air in the right proportion can become explosive.
There are different degrees of protection against explosive dusts and hazardous area Zone 22 is defined as : - "a place in which an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air, is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only".
ATEX Directive 94/9/EC sets out the route electrical equipment manufacturers must take to get their products certified for use in hazardous areas.
ATEX Certified Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Areas
ATEX is the name given to a set of European Directives relating to Hazardous Area Electrical Equipment Installations (Flammable Atmospheres) to avoid industrial accident or incident. ATEX Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95), is a directive adopted by the EU under the “New Approach” strategy. The “New Approach” ATEX directive supersedes the “Old Approach” ATEX Directive, the Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Directive, 76/117/EEC – ATEX 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) facilitates free trade in the EC for hazardous area electrical equipment intended to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) covers “Electrical Equipment” used in hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmospheres created by presence of gases, vapours, mists or dusts.
The electrical arc creates a pressure wave. The incident energy is the energy of this arc-flash coming into contact with a surface. Essentially an electric arc creates a radiation burn which accounts for the internal burns a person can receive when exposed to an electrical arc flash.
Surge Protect, a critical issue you could not fail to know while implementing...Victor Lee
How high should we aim? Sparkovers (flashovers) which occur almost naturally in building wiring systems protect most equipment locations for surges above 6kV. So 6kV is the upper limit we should be concerned about. Note that poor or mediocre wiring insulation materials ironically help protect equipment better than excellent and expensive insulator materials.
There is increasing talk about “6kV surge protection”. We now realize why 6kV is being picked. However, we should keep in mind that so far such requirements are voluntary. But even if they do become mandatory, note that there are already designated “levels” of surge withstand capability: 2.5kV, 4kV, and 6kV, similar to CISPR 24. So it is probable that much like with CISPR 24/EN55024 we may only need to comply with a level lesser than max.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

Performing electrical thermographic
(IR) surveys can often be fraught
with danger from electrocution and
arc-flash being the most threatening
hazards to life and equipment.
Critical equipment can often be
missed during IR surveys due to their
operational or interlocked state.
Preventing identification of loose,
high-resistance, high temperature
terminations likely to fail...
74 | The Report • June 2020 • Issue 92
3. The Report • June 2020 • Issue 92 | 75
In November 2019 Geo Therm
Ltd were tasked with performing
the first electrical thermographic
survey on the Valaris Plc
premium Jack-up the JU-123.
And requested to assess the
number of infrared windows to
facilitate the inspection of critical
electrical equipment. The asset
equipment identified included
seven CAT generators (including
the emergency generator)
and ten plant transformers
necessitating a total of #93
infrared windows for installation.
In Dec 2020 Rig management
authorised our world class
services to procure and install the
#93 IR windows whilst the asset
remained berthed in Dundee
Scotland. As the owners deemed
the installation would be more
effective when under shore power
rather than in an operational
state. The CorDEX Type IW3000
Infrared windows with a 75mm or
3” diameter crystal window were
chosen. Benefiting from being
ABS type approved and arc-flash
resistance test rated to 11KVA.
Three IR windows were retrofitted
into each of the CAT 3516CHD
main engine generator terminal
boxes and E-Gen terminal box
covers. And twelve into the
two main drilling transformers
and a range of one to six IR
windows were also retrofitted
into various rig-wide distribution
transformers. The retrofit took
the Geo Therm Ltd technician six
days to complete, aided by the
on-board rig electrician.
The benefits of this installation of the infrared windows were:
- Confirm if loose/high resistance hotspots exist in closed critical systems.
- Prevent electrical shock & triggering an arc-flash explosion when needing access
- Enable future thermographic, visual and spot-infrared PMR’s to be safely realised.
- Effective inspections, easier and faster future access without service interruption.
- Facilitate PM scheduling when a hot-spot is found, to prevent a breakdown or downtime.
The JU-123 (Jack up rig) is the
newest of the four Valaris Plc 120
series harsh environment Jack-
ups currently in operation in the
UKCS. And is one of 74 rigs in the
owner’s fleet, currently the world’s
largest offshore drilling company.
