Didalienshijack oursatellite?What was causing4000 stores to losethe music?Photo courtesy NASAPatrick J. Lynch, P.Eng.My company is involved in providing “earthbound”engineered solutions to electrical systemproblems, so how on earth did we get involved ina problem that included satellites in outer space?BackgroundOne of our long-time clients frantically came to us insheer desperation, describing its perplexing outer spaceelectrical system problem that needed to be quicklysolved. The client is a large, North American multinationalchain of stores that uses a satellite to “bounce”secure electronic information (i.e. credit card, storeinventory status, pre-programmed music) between eachof its 4000 stores and the corporate head office’s computersystem.After 15 years of problem-free operation, thetransmitted pre-programmed music in the storessimultaneously and quite suddenly stopped being correctlyreceived, becoming a distorted musical mess inall 4000 stores.The corporate head office executives were extremelyworried. If the transmitted satellite music system wentdown this week, would the secure credit card or inventorycontrol systems fail next week?They needed this issue quickly resolved before theproblem had a chance to spread.Which begged the question: after 15 years ofsuccessful operation, what changed to cause thissatellite problem?1. Have the satellite’s electronic boards been hit byspace debris?2. Has the satellite shifted slightly in orbit?3. Have additional orbiting satellites been added, andtheir own electrical transmissions now interferingwith our satellite?These were all questions for which the executives desperatelysought answers.We agreed to quickly undertake this project to look6 • December/January 2010/11 • www.EBMag.com


for strictly any potential “earth-bound” electricalsystem problems.The fact that all 4000 stores were simultaneously“knocked out” led us to suspect itmust be a centralized problem.The programmed music, including any storecommercials are loaded into electronic equipmentlocated in the client’s main corporateoffice computer room. The music, credit card,inventory control data are all then “electronicallymerged” in this computer room, then sentout to the stores via the satellite uplink dish.Questions were then asked about any newmusic equipment or satellite uplink equipmentthat had been recently added. Theanswer was a definite NO.Were any new computer servers, processorsrecently added. Again, the answer was aresounding NO.After many hours of grilling the computerroom facility people, they finally rememberedthat, yes, one new piece of equipmentwas recently added: a large air-conditioner.They didn’t think to mention it beforebecause they thought it insignificant. It wasonly an air-conditioner, after all!The unit was a typical, standard data processingroom air-conditioning unit; about30 tons, 100kW. It was the eighth in a seriesof air-conditioners for this space. There wasnever a problem with the other seven unitsworking, so is it possible that adding theeighth is the root of the problem?Action planWe momentarily turned off this eighth airconditionerunit, and we had music in ourears... pure, undistorted music. Calls to themost easterly and westerly stores acrossNorth America confirmed the music wasbeing received loud and clear again.We didn’t have to entertain the notion ofsending Tom Hanks or Tommy Lee Jonesinto outer space to fix a satellite. The satellitewas fine; the earth-bound electrical systemshowever, had somehow been compromised.So, what was so unique about this one particularair-conditioning unit?With suspect air-conditioner unit turned on,our harmonic frequency analysis of the voltageand currents revealed the unit was producinghigh-frequency components and sendingthem back to the main electrical supply feeder.Measurements on the air-conditioner groundwiring also indicated the presence of conductedhigh-frequency components.The air-conditioner copper water andrefrigerant piping were measured next. They,too, displayed high-frequency ground currentcomponents. It was really bad at this site; eventhe metal T-bar ceiling in the computer roomhad high-frequency ground current componentsrunning through it (see Figure 1).The computer room music electronicupload and satellite uplink devices werephysically located within 30 ft of this airconditionerunit. Performing a frequencyanalysis on these devices also confirmedthe same ‘DNA fingerprinted’ signalcontamination.Would the credit card and inventory controlsystems be next to fail?A quick review of the electrical schematicsfor this air-conditioner unit revealed it to be astate-of-the-art, frequency-controlled unit. Theother air-conditioner units in this computerroom used ‘old’, standard control technology.Solution plansThis ‘new technology’ culprit has been identified.What are the solutions?1. Remove this air-conditioner unit andreplace it with conventional technology.2. Modify the unit to reduce the generatedelectrical interference.3. Leave the air-conditioner in place anddesign filters for any affected computerroom circuits.FIGURE 1: Typical high-frequency-contaminatedcomputer room grounding, copper refrigerationlines and satellite uplink signals.• Vertical scale log. 10 db/division• With the eighth A/C turned off, all of the abovehigh-frequency contamination disappears.• Higher frequencies present are:6163 Hz 30,014 Hz12,040 Hz 36,170 Hz18,081 Hz 42,204 Hz23,800 Hz 48,254 HzOur client decided to implement Option #3and filter only the affected electronic circuits.We specified all the necessary specializedfiltering equipment required for this satelliteuplink system.The stores’ music system has been restoredand now continues to play, distortion free.Credit card and inventory systems are correctlyfunctioning.Patrick J.

Lew SileckySome markets are cool, thanks to a down economy, but thePV (photovoltaic) industry is hot and sunny! The PVmarket has hit Ontario like a freight train (or a blinding rayof light!). That said, there are a lot of new companies beingformed overnight to “ride the wave”, but with this growth comesresponsibility. One thing the industry must not lose sight of issafety. There has already been one death attributed to solar installations—a30-year old solar installer slipped to his death inCalifornia in April 2010.These are not the PV cells you may have played with in highschool or as a hobbyist, but solar arrays that can deliver anywherefrom 50vDC up to over 600vDC. That’s some serious voltage!To understand the protection needs, we must understand theworkings of the photocell itself. The photovoltaic cell is a semiconductorthat captures specific electromagnetic radiation fromthe sun. Simply put, the make-up of the PV is such that it allowsthese specific particles (called photons) to penetrate the semiconductorand, as they bounce around, voila! Energy is created.Okay, enough about the boring physics stuff. What aboutthe protection?Since the PVs are semiconductors and susceptible to damagefrom short circuits and overloads, a fast-acting OCPD (overcurrentprotective device) should be used. This device usually goes inthe combiner box, collector box—essentially, the part of the PVsystem where all the PV wires get connected.There may be numerous wires coming from a large PVarray. The combiner box gives a clean method of connectingall of these wires safely, and can include surge protection anda means of isolation between the PV array and the inverter.Figure 1 demonstrates how all the components of the system areinterconnected.In Figure 1, the combiner box is referred to as the DC box.Protection is required in the DC box or combiner box, theinverter, and in the AC box. It is not uncommon to see combinerboxes with numerous inputs—up to as many as 50 or so. Typicalcombiner boxes have about 12 to 24 inputs. Remember, we arestill on the DC side of the inverter, so we have both positive andnegative wires that somehow need to be connected.In most cases, the positive wires are individually protected bythe OCPD. The negative and positive wires are bundled togetherinto a distribution block; both positive and negative can then besent to the inverter with one single cable.Section 50 of the Canadian <strong>Electrical</strong> Code outlines therequirements for solar photovoltaic systems. This section refers toSection 14; specifically, to Rules 14-414 Connection to differentcircuits and 14-700 Restriction of use. Section 14-200, Fuses and14-300, Circuit Breakers, deal with protective devices, more specificallyto overcurrent protection. Nowhere in these sections isthe protection of DC circuits mentioned, so it is vital to pay specialattention to overcurrent protection, especially on the DC side.Since we’re dealing with both DC and AC voltages, there areusually two different types of protection. For the most part, weare concerned about the DC fuse protection. DC protection isrequired in the combiner box for most installations (other thanresidential), and usually comes in the form of a fuse rated foreither 600vDC or 1000vDC. The fuses are mounted in fuse holders,which should be of a fingersafe design, and are typically amidget dimension.8 • December/January 2010/11 • www.EBMag.com


These fuses are specifically manufactured to provide a high degree of protectionfor the PV array. Typical ampere ratings are 5, 8 and 10, although thesefuses are available right up to a maximum of 30 amperes. As mentioned earlier,the PV array is made up of a number of solar panels that we can considersemiconductors; for this reason, the fuses providing protection need to be verycurrent limiting. (Current limitation is the fuses’ ability to clear a fault withoutdamaging components.)A typical combiner box may have a continuous current rating of a few tensof amperes to hundreds of amperes. This is possible because the PV array ismade up of several solar panels, usually connected in series-parallel to get thepower required by the design; the efficiency of solar cells is only about 24.7%,so a large surface area is required to collect all those photons.Additionally, the combiner box may have surge protection. Surge protectionis required, not only for protection against lightning, but alsoovervoltage. Since PV arrays are mounted mostly into aluminum frames upon the roof of a building, they are susceptible to lightening strikes. We allknow what happens when your plasma TV or other electronics are not surgeprotected; again, overvoltage.When the outside temperature drops below 25°C, the value of the opencircuitvoltage on the PV array increases. Table 690.7 from NEC Article 690shows that when the temperature falls to -40°C, the factor for open-circuitvoltage is 1.25. It is not uncommon to see these temperatures in North America(especially when you factor wind chill). The surge protector will ‘clamp’ theinput voltage to the defined value of the make and model of the manufacturer.(Just make sure it is approved to UL 1449 3rd Edition, and has a CSA markdenoting its approval to this standard.)Which leads us to the switch issue. Most combiner boxes do not have anoutput switch. When they do, it needs to be a 600vDC load break switch withan ampere rating suitable for the continuous rating of the PV system.Now comes the grounding issue. The negative wires of the PV array aretypically grounded. CEC Rule 50-020 refers to Section 84, Interconnectionof electric power production sources, where the grounding and bondingrequirements may be found. What we need to recognize is that the PV arrayis typically mounted in an aluminum frame to which a copper grounding wireneeds to be attached.There are known issues with a copper-aluminum mix, the major onebeing electrolysis, leading to degradation of the connection point and,ultimately, failure. (There are numerous articles relating to grounding andbonding on PV systems and there is another great story to be told here...by an grounding expert!)As the PV market continues to grow, we have a responsibility to ensure itgrows safely. One way to ensure this happens is to be compliant with the codesand standards related to photovoltaic systems. The Solar Photovoltaic Systemas referred to in NEC Article 690 is called the AC module system, whichconsists of three major elements already discussed. NEC Article 690 is a gooddocument to use when determining the requirements for PV systems (whilesupplementing with information from CEC Section 50).Leaders within the solar industry have recognized that improved standardsare required, and are working to make enhancements. The reason? Safety forthe systems, but more importantly, safety for our workers!As the PV market continues to grow, we have aresponsibility to ensure it grows safely. One way toensure this happens is to be compliant with the codesand standards related to photovoltaic systems.FIGURE 1FIGURE 2Lew Silecky is the manager of technical sales & marketing with Mersen (formerlyFerraz Shawmut), and can be reached at lew.silecky@mersen.com.3M_EB_Feb_2010.indd 1www.EBMag.com • December/January 1/7/10 3:52:55 PM 2010/11 • 9


Hazards due to extensioncord misuseHow often do you considerextension cord safety?Photo courtesy Coleman Cable.The misuse of extension cords has contributedto increasing reports ofelectrical fires in Ontario over the pastyear. Do not become a statistic. Therehave been five fatalities, and numerous fires inOntario over the past 10 years associated withthe misuse of extension cords.The <strong>Electrical</strong> Safety Authority (ESA)warns consumers to use extension cords safely.Follow these important rules. Only use extensioncords:That are rated for the particular taskSelect the appropriate cord for the application.Not all cords are created equal; some aredesigned for exterior use, others interior useonly; some for hard usage in wet locations,others not.Graybar Canada is Growing!Graybar Canada, an employee-owned company, is awholesale distributor for thousands of items from leadingmanufacturers of electrical and communications & dataproducts.

Once the task has beencompleted, the cord should always bedisconnected and properly stored awayfor future use.For portable electrical equipmentAlways follow the manufacturer’sinstructions.Failure to use and maintain extensioncords in the manner for which theywere intended may create a fire or shockhazard that puts you and others at risk.Safe use of extension cordsESA encourages consumers to ask thefollowing questions before using anextension cord:• Will I use the cord indoors oroutdoors?• What is the total current or wattagerating of the appliances I’ll use withthe cord?• How far is the nearest outlet fromwhere I’ll be working?Will I use the cord indoorsor outdoors?The first step in determining which extensioncord you will need is deciding whetheryou will be using the appliance indoors oroutdoors. Extension cords that can be usedoutdoors are clearly marked “Suitable forUse with Outdoor Appliances”. Never usean indoor extension cord outside; it couldresult in an electric shock or fire hazard.When you are working outdoors, purchasean outdoor-rated extension cord—it’s asmall price to pay for safety.The Ontario <strong>Electrical</strong> Safety Coderequires all receptacles on residentialproperties located outdoors below 2.5m be protected by ground fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI). Please ensure allportable electrical equipment used outdoorshas GFCI protection, as your lifemay depend on it.What is the total current or wattagerating of the appliances I’ll use withthe cord?Extension cords are labelled with valuableinformation as to the use, size,current and wattage rating of the cord.Cords are offered in many lengths, andare marked with a size/gauge. When youdo not have a properly rated cord, purchasea new extension cord; again, a smallprice to pay for safety.How far is the nearest outlet fromwhere I’ll be working?To determine the gauge you will need,you have to determine how long thelength of cord needed. A cord, based onits gauge, can power an appliance of acertain wattage only at specific distances.As the cord gets longer, the current-carryingcapacity of the cord gets lower. Forexample, a 16-ga extension cord less than50 ft in length can power a 1625W appliance.A 16-ga cord longer than 50 ft canonly power an appliance up to 1250W.When you plan on using the extensioncord for two or more appliances, youmust add the wattage rating for all appliancesused on the cord to determine thegauge needed.Power barsNot unlike extension cords, power barsare also widely misused. The safety stepslisted above are required to determinewhether the power bar you have is suitablefor your intended application. ESArecommends you purchase power barswith a minimum 14-ga copper conductorto ensure a higher level of safety. Thepractice of daisy-chaining power bars isnot recommended by ESA.Contributed by the <strong>Electrical</strong> SafetyAuthority, whose mandate under Ontario’sElectricity Act and the Safety &ConsumerStatutes Administration Act and Regulationsmake ESA responsible for regulating thesafe use of electricity and equipment inOntario, enforcing the Ontario <strong>Electrical</strong>Safety Code, and appointing inspectors.

Dave Smithmind your safetyPoor thinking cannotbe defendedThe way to win a court case is to not go tocourt in the first place (unless, of course,you’re trying to sue someone’s butt off).No one wants to have an accident ontheir watch but, as a senior management team,you need to ensure your corporate actions provideyour legal team with a bulletproof case oflegal defensibility.You have two goals after an accident:1. Avoid Criminal Code charges afforded byBill C-45.2. Reduce your provincial health & safetycharges.Most successful companies work hard toprovide their workforce with the tools andsystems they need to prevent accidents; shouldone occur, you need to be able to prove thatdiligence. “Beyond a reasonable doubt” is themetric we have inherited from our Englishheritage, and that works to your advantage inCriminal Code cases. The lack of this standardcoupled with the wishy-washiness of provincialregulations make it impossible to avoid thosecharges, but you want to ensure you reducethose “Throw-The-Book-At-Him” CriminalCode charges.In every class I teach, participants complainthat management’s due diligence activitiesare merely practicing corporate CYA; theydo not accept that management may simplybe fulfilling its legal responsibility (the sameresponsibility that, at some point, passes to theworkforce). There are few things more horriblethan a workplace fatality, so it is imperative thatsenior management walk the walk in health &safety. When you don’t grease your bearings,they fail; when you don’t protect your workers,they get hurt. It is all good business—the lackof the latter costs you far more than a lack ofthe former.Problems often occur at the mid-managementlevel, which is under the radar of seniormanagement. I regularly see issues involvingour new Canadian Workplace <strong>Electrical</strong> Safetystandard, CSA Z462; numerous mid-managersout there are selecting only those parts of thestandard that fit their needs while blithelyignoring others.For instance, Table 4 (commonly called the‘task tables’) is continuously used in completeignorance of the limitations imposed on itsuse—both in Z462, and its counterpart, Table70E 130.7(C)(9) of NFPA 70E. The use ofProblems often occur at the midmanagementlevel, which is underthe radar of senior management...numerous mid-managers out thereare selecting only those parts of thestandard that fit their needs whileblithely ignoring others.these tables is clearly limited by the SpecificNotes at the end of each, which dictate boththe maximum short circuit current and themaximum fault clearing times associated withequipment. Exceeding either maximum rendersthe tables insufficient to protect your workers,and triggers a requirement for an arc flashhazard analysis to determine the proper protectionneeded.Too many mid-managers are still subjectingworkers to unknown protection by claimingthat the tables are sufficient when they are not,and refusing to implement a proper study.Another common fallacy is the extent ofthe Flash Protection Boundary when a dooris closed or the equipment cover is in place.There is no argument that the FPB of open,energized equipment extends beyond the faceof the equipment, but too many mid-managersare claiming that, when the door or cover arein place, that is the Flash Protection Boundary.When the equipment is not designed towithstand and contain an arc flash, the door orcover will merely slow the event by a fractionof a second; then it will become part of thegeneral shrapnel blasting workers.Some mid-managers are saving pennies whilerisking lives, limbs and enormous corporatelosses with poor thinking, leaving senior managementstranded on an indefensible limb.

When you ask your customerswhat frustrates them when dealingwith you, the answer is likely to involvesomething related to the process.I asked a residential HVAC servicecontractor what he guarantees. Heanswered that the equipment is guaranteedfor X years and the labour forY years. However, when I asked his customerswhat they would like guaranteed,I got totally different responses, such as:• When I schedule the call, I wish thecontractor would tell me when he willarrive, and actually arrive at that time(to within 30 minutes).• I wish he would not leave such amess behind.• I wish I could get a clearer understandingof the cost before work starts.• I wish the technicians were dressednicer. They often look scruffy, and itmakes me nervous.These are all process issues, and allwithin a contractor’s control. I encouragethem all to build their guaranteesaround these areas.I get some resistance to these itemsbut, again, the top 25% of contractorsprovide these process guarantees.In your own business, you could dealwith the timing schedule by doing arisk reversal:We have scheduled your call for 3 p.m.today. We guarantee to arrive within 30minutes of that time. If we cannot meet thatdeadline, we will call you at least four hoursin advance to reschedule. If we fail to do that,we will reduce our bill by $25.As a manager, you need to know howoften you have to pay out the $25, andthat will give you a good indicator ofthe success (or failure) of your schedulingguarantee.Customers want assurances that workwill be done on time and on budget, andthat you respond promptly to queries...not unlike the way contractors want tobe treated by generals.www.rclighting.ca 888 722-1000 custserv@rclighting.cawww.rclighting.ca 888 722-1000 custserv@rclighting.caRon Coleman, a memberof theInstitute of CertifiedManagement Consultantsof British Columbia, justpublished his latest book,“Becoming Contractorof the Year”, whichteaches you how tomake more moneywhile having morefun.

Get betterwork trucks by writingbetter specificationsBob JohnsonEvents like The Work Truck Show give fleet managers theopportunity to learn how to write better specifications and toclosely examine various vehicles and components.situation. After all, the first step in developinga specification is to determine what the jobrequirements are. If you and the end-users youwork with don’t know what you need, how canyou expect someone who is not connected withyour business to know? You must be the expert.Many fleet managers confess that they just don’tknow how to write specs. Admittedly, writing agood specification isn’t easy. You need to understandissues such as regulatory compliance; vehiclepayload and weight distribution calculations;matching truck bodies and equipment (secondunit) to the chassis; and truck powertrain design.Fortunately, there are a number of resources availableto educate fleet managers about these topics.ESW 2011Toronto Sheraton CentreJANUARY 24 - 28, 2011If you’re like most fleet managers, youare constantly looking for ways toimprove the quality and productivity ofyour work trucks, while at the sametime reducing your maintenance and operatingcosts. One of the best strategies toaccomplish these goals is to improve theequipment specification process. The specificationsyou provide to the chassis dealerand upfitter(s) who will supply your truckmountedequipment will ultimatelydetermine how productive and cost-efficientyour new work truck will be.Getting startedMore and more fleets rely on third parties,including chassis dealers, equipment distributors,body and equipment companies,and leasing companies, to provide worktruck specifications. There are a number ofreasons behind this trend, including manyfleet managers’ increased workloads; lackof knowledge about the functional requirementsof the vehicle, limited awarenessof the products available to meet thoserequirements and a simple lack of trainingin how to develop a quality specification.Chassis dealers, body and equipmentcompanies, and equipment distributors canbe valuable resources in the work truckspecification process. Many are factorytrainedand can provide recommendationsabout the best products for your applicationsbased on OEM specifications andtheir own experience working with organizationssimilar to your own.It’s up to you to apply theirexpertise and suggestions to your own Tutorials Products &Services Expo StandardsWorking Groups ExpertPresentations Technical Tours and moreRegister Now!www.ewh.ieee.org/cmte/ias-esw2011 IEEE IAS <strong>Electrical</strong> Safety WorkshopCHANGING THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY CULTURE...an international forum for changing the electrical safety cultureand serving to advance application of technology, work practices,codes and regulations to prevent electrical incidents and injuriesin the workplace...Untitled-4 111/23/10 3:53:28 PMwww.EBMag.com • December/January 2010/11 • 45


You don’t have to jump into thespec’ing process all at once. You canstart with the chassis or the second unit,whichever you are more comfortablewith, and learn the total process insteps. Qualified truck chassis dealers,equipment distributors, and body andequipment companies are willing to helpyou understand what is needed to getthe job done. Another great resourceis the National Truck EquipmentAssociation (NTEA). In addition tooffering training about developingspecifications, the NTEA providesfleet members with basic engineeringassistance and guidance through thespecification-writing process.The first step in developing any specificationis to research the requirementsfor the job that the truck and equipmentwill perform. Your equipment operatorscan help provide this information basedon their daily experience with existingvehicles. Another important source ofinformation is the maintenance shop.The people who maintain and repairyour equipment can give you valuableinsights into what typically goes wrongwith existing units. This information canhelp you design your new equipment toavoid those problems. This, in turn, willreduce your maintenance costs and preventunnecessary downtime.Once you have done your basicresearch, it is time to determine if youare going to write the specificationsyourself or involve a third party. Whenmaking this decision, remember thatthe hardest part of the entire processis the initial assessment and research.When properly referenced in a purchaseorder for a new piece of equipment, thespecification becomes the controllingdocument for the entire process. Thatmeans that by controlling the developmentof the specification, you are alsocontrolling the ultimate end product.Types of specificationsThere are a number of different typesand formats of specifications. The mostcommon types include:• Engineered: High level of detail to includespecific material and dimensional requirements,manufacturing processes, etc.• Functional: Addresses specific job requirementswith minimal other detail.• Performance: Provides specific performancerequirements (cycle times, capacities, etc.) but typicallydoes not address issues such as equipment layout.• Hybrid: Combines aspects of the other three types asappropriate to fully define a unit without becomingover-involved in detailed engineering requirements.The most common format of specifications for worktruck bodies and equipment is the hybrid. Functionaland performance specifications are also useful whenissuing requests for proposals (RFP) or requestsfor information (RFI). Truck chassis specificationsare typically a special variation of an engineeredspecification where the writer calls out specificcomponents and design requirements based on theengineering work that has already been done by thechassis manufacturer.Going beyond the various types of specifications,there are also two common formats for writing specs.These are the matrix format, where the writer listsa specific item or requirement in one column andthen provides a brief description in another column.This format works very well for chassis. The otherformat, which is popular for bodies and equipment, isthe narrative style, where the writer provides longer,more detailed descriptions for each requirement.PitfallsWhile a properly written specification can save youmoney and ensure that the finished product meetsyour requirements, a poorly written specification cancost you money. If the specification is too loose, thevendor’s product may not meet your requirementsand you could incur additional expense in the formof change orders, reduced productivity, or highermaintenance costs over the life of the unit. On theother hand, a specification that is written too tightlymay force suppliers to make changes to their standardproducts that serve no real purpose. When writingspecifications, it is critical to strike the appropriatebalance between defining exactly what you need andallowing vendors to utilize their standard componentsto the greatest extent possible.Learning moreA significant amount of information on truck specificationsis available to fleet managers through TheNational Truck Equipment Association (NTEA,www.ntea.com). Several educational sessions on worktruck specification development are slated for TheWork Truck Show 2011, which runs March 7-10at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.Topics include: designing work truck bodies andequipment, chassis specification development, powertrainanalysis, and truck frame basics.Bob Johnson is a former fleet manager and currentlyserves as director of fleet relations for the National TruckEquipment Association (NTEA). He will lead three technicalsessions on work truck specification at The WorkTruck Show 2011.

code fileLes Stoch, P.Eng.Hazardous Locations - Section 18Section 18 of the Canadian <strong>Electrical</strong> Code(CEC) contains the rules for electricalequipment and wiring in locations where:flammable vapours, gases or mists could create afire or explosion; and dusts capable of creating afire or explosion or ignitable fibres are present.Let’s review a number of requirements applicableto Class I explosive gas atmospheres whenclassified in accordance with either the EuropeanZone or North American Division methods ofclassification.CEC Rule 18-002, Special Terminology,defines an explosive gas atmosphere as:a mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions,of flammable substances in the form of gas,vapour or mist in which, after ignition, combustionspreads throughout the unconsumed mixture.In other words, you could get a fire or explosion.According to Rule 18-000, the Zone systemof classification must always be used for newinstallations where hazardous concentrations ofgases, vapours or mists are present in quantitiesthat could create a fire or explosion. Rule 18-000also goes on to say that we are permitted toQuestions and answers compiled by the <strong>Electrical</strong> Safety Authority VISIT WWW.ESASAFE.COMTackle The CodeConundrum...if you dareAnswers to this month’squestions in February’s<strong>Electrical</strong> <strong>Business</strong>.How did you dowith the last quiz?Are you a...Master Electrician ?

The rules for application of the Divisionmethod of classification are found in Appendix J.When we use the Zone system of classification,hazardous locations are considered those areascontaining flammable or explosive gases, vapoursor mists. When using the Division system, youmay already have noticed a small difference—thatthe word “mists” is excluded.The Zone system of classification is arrangedinto three stages. Rule 18-006 specifies thatwithin a Zone 0, an explosive gas atmosphere ispresent continuously or for long periods. Withina Zone 1, an explosive gas atmosphere is likely,or the location is adjacent to a Zone 0. Withina Zone 2, an explosive gas atmosphere is consideredunlikely, may only be present for a shorttime, or be located next to a Zone 1 (unless preventedby positive-pressure ventilation).The Division system of classification comprisesonly two divisions. Rule J18-006 specifiesthat within a Class I, Division 1 location, anexplosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur continuously,intermittently or periodically. WithinAnswers to Code ConundrumEBMag November 2010Q-1: Ground bushings and bonding jumpersare required to bond the armour of typeACWU cable at a service entrance..b) False. Rule 10-606(2) permits the useof box connectors with standard locknutsat services for bonding the armour of thosetypes of cable incorporating an internalbonding conductor.Q-2: A trade size 16 conduit shall bepermitted to contain [ ___ ] #12 AWGTWN75 conductorsa) 9. Subrule # 12-1014(5) & Table 6.Q-3: Class [ ___ ] fuses shall be permittedwhere a standard interrupting rating of10,000A symmetrical or less is required.a) Class H fuses. Rule 14-212.a Division 2 location, an explosive gas atmosphereis unlikely, present for only a short time, or locatednext to a Division 1 location (unless prevented bypositive-pressure ventilation).You may have noticed that the Zone 2 and Division2 classifications are identical, but that Zone1 and Division 1 are somewhat different. That’sbecause the Zone system has an extra category: Zone0. Only intrinsically safe wiring and equipment maybe located within a Zone 0. These circuits are protectedby intrinsically safe barriers and do not havesufficient energy to ignite the flammable or explosivesubstances within a Zone 0.As an example, an electric lighting or motor circuitcould not be located within a Zone 0; only measurement,control or communications circuits. Theexplosive vapour above the surface of a flammableliquid within an enclosed tank could be a Zone 0.The Division system of classifying Class I locationsdoes not have the same restriction for electricalequipment installations and, therefore, the requirementsare different.The table shown in paragraph J1.2 of CEC 2009Canadian Electric Code contains valuable informationon the types of electrical equipment permittedfor use in explosive gas atmospheres, classified byeither method. Although the wording may seemdifferent, the table shows that identical types ofequipment are permitted in Zone 2 and Division 2locations. The table also shows that Class I, Divisiontypes of electrical equipment may be installed in aZone 1 location, but that Zone 1 equipment is notpermitted in a Class I, Division 1 location. That’sbecause that equipment has not been tested andapproved for Zone 0, which may be integral to someClass 1, Division 1 locations.Les Stoch is president of L.
