USE OF ELECTRICAL SENSORS IN THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRIAL REACTORS ACCORDING TO NR 12

Abstract

This case study examines the utilization of Allen Bradley electrical switches, with a specific focus on the 440G-MT safety interlock switches, in industrial chemical reactors. The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of these sensors in ensuring compliance with safety standards such as NR12 and integrating these solutions within the industry 4.0 perspective to enhance industrial automation. The methodology involved meticulous selection and installation of the sensors, verification of compliance with NR12, and data collection through observations and measurements.The results underscore the pivotal role played by the safety interlock switches in securing reactors, ensuring regulatory compliance, and significantly contributing to the efficiency of industrial automation processes in the industry 4.0 era. Beyond meeting regulatory requirements, the implementation of these sensors propels technological innovation, strengthening the intersection of safety, automation, and the noteworthy advancements in the industry 4.0 landscape.
