🔍 Key Concepts

• Explosion-proof / flame-proof equipment definitions in 46 CFR for hazardous locations • Difference between equipment that is safe in normal operation vs. equipment designed to contain an explosion • How enclosures are designed to prevent ignition of surrounding flammable atmosphere

💭 Think About

• Which choice specifically describes an enclosure that can contain an internal ignition and stop the flame from reaching the outside atmosphere? • Does the term refer to protecting the inside from gas, or protecting the outside atmosphere from an internal ignition? • Which option sounds like an established technical term used in regulations and electrical standards for hazardous areas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly mentions or implies withstanding internal ignition and preventing flame transmission to the outside • Distinguish between terms that sound informal or generic vs. those commonly used in hazardous area electrical classifications • Make sure the term you pick would reasonably appear in USCG/industry regulations and standards for electrical equipment in flammable atmospheres
