COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of classification of location for electrical installations at petroleum facilities in accordance with API 500, 505 & RP14FZ. It covers the conditions for fire and explosion in petroleum facilities; the law and regulators, recommended practices and standards; the hazardous (classified) locations API 500/505 including hazardous area classification; the installation, maintenance, and operation of electrical equipment; the API RP 500, API RP 14F, API 505 and API 14FZ; the area classifications for API hazardous classified and unclassified; the classification based on API RP; the API RP 505 and 500 ‘preferred’ symbols for classified locations; and the atmospheric mixtures of explosive gas and air.
Further, the course will also discuss the extent of areas, release of gas and temperature; the API RP 500 and 505 flammable (explosive) limits; the API RP design installation and maintenance; why API RP 14F and 14FZ are not used to classify areas; the electrical equipment for hazardous (classified) areas; the electrical enclosures, API RP 14F explosion-proof and typical motor name plate; the API and NEC general purpose equipment; the API RP 14F hermetically sealed and API RP 14F intrinsically safe; and the pressurized or purged, clean air (non classified area) and API RP 14F cables and accessories.
