Do You Need an Explosion Proof Motor?

When considering motor types for Americraft fans, two primary options are prevalent: TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) and hazardous location explosion-proof motors. The motor selection hinges on the operational environment of the fan. Does your manufacturing process emit hazardous gases, vapors, or dust into the air? If so, you might need to look into motors suitable for hazardous locations.

Feel free to reach out to us to discuss your Explosion-Proof Motors for Sale. Our knowledgeable sales team can assist you in identifying the options that best meet your specific needs.

The Class/Division/Group system below aims to provide a broad understanding of hazardous area classifications. This is not to recommend a specific hazardous duty motor but to equip you with enough knowledge to ask the pertinent questions when selecting a motor for your fan.

CAUTION: Only the end-user or a qualified underwriter should identify and select the appropriate class, division, group, and temperature code motor to meet your requirements.
