In our latest video, we'll explore the different environments in which explosion proof motors are used and why they're essential for safety.
Explosion proof motors are designed to operate in hazardous environments that contain flammable liquids, gases, or vapors. These types of environments fall under Class I and require the use of explosion proof motors to prevent any internal flames or sparks from igniting the hazardous materials. For combustible dust or fiber applications, Class II and III environments require explosion proof motors because they're designed with a motor casing that won't exceed certain temperatures. In addition, explosion proof motors may include fail-safe switches that automatically shut down the motor when it reaches a predetermined temperature, ensuring maximum safety in the event of any potential hazard.
Our team at Wolters Motors & Drives will guide you in choosing the right motor for your specific needs, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency. If you're looking for explosion proof motors, visit our website at or call (888) 965-8377.
