- This report presents an overview of explosionproof (X-P) enclosure research being conducted by the Bureau of Mines. This report emphasizes the increasing importance of research related to the safety considerations of X-P enclosures used in underground coal mines. Selected topics are included that summarize results of research in the areas of electrical clearances, reliability of enclosures with windows, safety factors in X-P enclosures, potting materials, performance tests for X-P enclosures, protection against high-voltage explosions, and innovative X-P devices.
