Mine Illumination Equipment – Hardware Reliability

Details

• Personal Author:

• Description:
  The recent publication of the Federal Mine Illumination Standards (Parts 75.1719 and 75.1719-1 through 75.1719-4 of Part 75, Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations) has stimulated a renewed interest in available hardware and its reliability. The Bureau of Mines has been engaged in a program by which illumination systems were installed and evaluated in operating coal mines. The results of these evaluations, together with published lamp and ballast mortality statistics, provide a good insight into the expected reliability of today's mine illumination hardware.
