Fault (as Applicable to Intrinsically Safe Systems)
Fault (as Applicable to Intrinsically Safe Systems) : A defect or electrical breakdown of any component, spacing, or insulation that alone or in combination with other defects or breakdowns may adversely affect the electrical or thermal characteristics of the intrinsically safe system. If a defect or breakdown leads to defects or breakdowns in other components, the primary and subsequent defects and breakdowns are considered to be a single fault. Certain components may be considered not subject to fault when analyses or tests for intrinsic safety are made
