Product Overview

Explosion proof motors are required for industrial applications with the presence of highly combustible, pervasive materials. Explosion proof does not mean that the motor will never explode, nor that it is immune from external explosions. Rather, an explosion proof motor has features that prevent an internal motor explosion from igniting a larger, ambient, combustible atmosphere.
Explosion proof motors are distinguished by high material quality, robust design, high index of IP protection, bearings greased for life, weather and corrosion resistant final overcoat and high dielectric strength insulation system intended to be feed by static frequency converter. Local conditions must be divided in danger zones, defined by end user together with appropriate establishment, according to frequency and duration of appearance of an explosive gas atmosphere.
