Introduction:
During industrial operations, internal motor parts become very hot and induce blasts. Therefore, explosion-proof motors are designed to prevent hazardous incidents in the workplace. Understanding explosion proof motor classifications is an integral part of the motor selection as it is a serious safety concern. Explosion proof motor certification is necessary to consider while selecting the right explosion-proof motor for the hazardous zone. Xinnuomotor manufactures high-quality explosion-proof electric motors with customizable voltage, junction box, and frequency.

In this article, we will discuss the classification of explosion-proof motors,
Explosion proof motor classifications:
Explosion-proof motors are classified into two major classes based on their applications, material exposure, and optimal performance. Nameplate of the motor identifies the class, division, and group of the explosion-proof motor.
Class I:Class I locations include combustible gases and vapors. These motors are mainly designed to prevent malfunction caused by any vapors or gases. The temperature of Class I motors remains below the auto-ignition condition of vapors and gases.
