10、PURPOSE AND SCOPE This standard sets forth requirements for hazardproofing electrical installations and equipment located in hazardous (classified) and other locations designated as hazardous by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to prevent ignition of flammable li
11、quids or hazardous fluids, gases, or vapors. This document defines the minimum requirement that KSC ground systems and equipment must meet. This document does not define how to design systems and equipment, or encompass hazardproofing requirements associated with lightning protection, grounding, ope
12、rational safety, toxicity, or chemical reactions. This standard does not apply to locations made hazardous because of the presence of high explosives (such as blasting agents or munitions) or pyrophoric materials (those that ignite spontaneously in air). 2.

27、cally safe: “An assembly of interconnected intrinsically safe apparatus, associated apparatus, and interconnecting cables in that those parts of the system that may be used in hazardous (classified) locations are intrinsically safe circuits” (NFPA 70). 4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Design for all new elec
28、trical equipment to be used in hazardous (classified) locations shall comply with the intent of the applicable guidelines of NFPA 70 (latest released edition), NFPA 430 (latest released edition), NFPA 496 (latest released edition), and NFPA 497 (current version at start of project unless otherwise s
29、tated in project documentation). The lead design engineer shall coordinate the design and implementation of hazardproofing for electrically energized equipment with the NASA Fire and Rescue Office, the AHJ over such activities at KSC. 5. GUIDELINES Guidelines have been extracted from the NFPA 70A, A
30、rticle 500, and have been tailored to KSC-specific environment and requirements. 5.1 Hazardous Locations and Classifications All areas designated as hazardous (classified) locations shall be properly documented in KSC drawings (see Appendix A). This documentation shall be available to those authoriz
31、ed to design, install, inspect, maintain, or operate electrical equipment at the location. Hazardous locations are where fire or explosion hazards may exist because of the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or liquids; combustible dust; or ignitable fibers or flyings. Although combustible dust and
32、 flammable gases and vapors exist almost everywhere, they are usually present in only minute quantities, much less than necessary for a fire or explosion hazard to exist. Thus, the presence of flammable gases or vapors or combustible dust does not in itself define a hazardous location. These materia
33、ls must be present in sufficient quantities (concentrations) to present a potential explosion hazard. Hazardous locations at KSC involve the storage, handling and distribution of liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, nitrogen tetroxide, monomethylhydrazine, and open-grain solid propellants. NFPA 497 does
34、not assign the following items as hazardous substances nor does it assign an NEC group classification. The substances shall be treated as follows: nitrogen tetroxide Class I, Group C oxygen Class I, Group D methane Class I, Group D 4 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitt
35、ed without license from IHS-,-,-KSC-STD-E-0002E March 12, 2009 In North America, hazardous (classified) locations are divided into three classes, based on the explosive characteristics of the material. The classes of material are further divided into divisions or zones, based on the risk of fire or
36、explosion that the material presents. Zones have three levels of hazard, whereas divisions have two levels. Table 1Table 1. Classes, Divisions, and Zones of Hazardous Materials illustrates the relationships among classes, divisions, and zones. Hazardous Material Class, Division Zone Gases or vapors
37、Class I, Division 1 Zone 0 and Zone 1 Gases or vapors Class I, Division 2 Zone 0 Locations shall be classified depending on the properties of the flammable vapors, liquids, or gases, or the combustible dust or fibers that may be present, and the likelihood that a flammable or combustible concentrati
38、on or quantity is present. Where pyrophoric materials are the only materials used or handled, these locations shall not be classified. Each room, section, or area shall be considered individually in determining its classification. 5.2 Purging and Pressurizing Purging is the process of supplying an e
39、nclosure with a protective gas at a sufficient flow and positive pressure to reduce the concentration of any flammable gas or vapor initially present to an acceptable level. This technique can be used to change a Class I or Class II, Division 1, location into a nonhazardous location or into a Divisi
40、on 2 location, or to change a Class I or II, Division 2, location into a nonhazardous location. It requires a noncombustible enclosure (which may be a control room or a machine room) that is first purged of any combustibles or flammables and then maintained at a positive pressure sufficient to preve
41、nt combustibles or flammables from entering the enclosure and being ignited by electrical equipment within the enclosure. The purging may be a continuous process or a single operation with a positive pressure maintained to make up for leaks. The pressurizing medium may be either air, commonly used i
42、n control rooms where people will be working, or a nonflammable gas. In instrument enclosures in locations with corrosive atmospheres, specially processed and dried air or gas is used to protect the enclosed equipment against corrosion, as well as to prevent ignition of exterior flammable gases and
43、vapors or combustible dust. (See NFPA 496.) Where possible, enclosures and distributors that are required by the system should be located outside a hazardous area and an intrinsically-safe design for energized electrical equipment is preferred. 5 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or netwo

45、er, or flyings that will be present. In addition, Class I equipment shall not have any exposed surface that operates at a temperature in excess of the ignition temperature of the specific gas or vapor. Class II equipment shall not have an external temperature higher than that specified. Class III eq
46、uipment shall not exceed the maximum surface temperatures specified in NFPA 70, Article 503.5. 5.3.2 Cable Wiring Methods Cable shall be protected from spillage of liquid oxygen, hydrogen, or other propellants and from mechanical damage. No electrical lines of any type shall be located in trenches c
47、ontaining propellant lines. Instrumentation, communication, control, and associated power equipment at KSC may be connected by hard-service cabling/cords as specified in GP-864, Volume IIA; KSC-SPEC-E-0031; KSCSTD-E-0006: or KSC-STD-E-0014. 5.3.2.1 Mineral-Insulated Cable Mineral-insulated cable is
48、suitable for Division 1 locations and for all Class I and Class II locations. (See GP-864, Volume IIA; KSC-STD-E-0014; KSC-SPEC-E-0031; and KSC-STD-E-0006.) 5.3.2.2 Metal-Clad Cable Metal-clad cable (Type MC) is permitted for application in Class I, Division 2, locations. Use of this type of cable is not limited to any voltage class. Under restrictions, metal-clad cable (Type MC-HL) and instrumentation tray cable (Type ITC-HL) are permitted in Class I, Division 1, locations. (See NFPA 70; GP-864,
