Assessing sensitivity and stability of IEC spark test apparatus as an important parameter in testing electronic devices

Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 523, Issue 3

Abstract

The article features an assessment of the sensitivity and stability of the IEC spark gap properties as an important parameter in testing electrical and electronic systems and devices. The assessed IEC spark gap, owned by EMAG’s laboratory, is a device for testing the level of intrinsic safety in the circuits of electrical and electronic devices. This is done to ensure that they are explosion-proof and can work in explosive atmospheres in the mining industry (methane) as well as the chemical and petrochemical industries (hydrogen, acetylene, propane and Liquefied petroleum gas, etc.).
