Flameproof & Explosion Proof – What Is the Difference?

The terms flameproof and explosion proof have the terminological meaning in that the electrical equipment intended for installation into a hazardous area zone is constructed using a such a design that an internal ignition (sparking) of a flammable atmosphere (gas, vapour or dust) will not be transmitted outside of the equipment and thereby preventing the ignition of surrounding flammables in potentially explosive atmospheres.
