Additional Information

Division 1 Explosion Proof motors are designed and built to contain an explosion inside and not propagate it into the surrounding atmosphere.

APPLICATIONS: Pumps, fans and conveyors with fixed and variable speed operation

FEATURES:

Auto thermal overload (<1 Hp), normally closed thermostats (≥1 Hp)
Threaded lead inlet
Low noise vibration dampening bases

CAUTION: Explosion-proof motors have a tight fit between mating parts to ensure the integrity of the explosion-proof enclosure. This can lead to an accumulation of moisture inside the motors due to condensation. If internal condensation buildup is a concern for your XP motor application, select a motor that includes UL listed breather drain. Care should be used when selecting an explosion-proof motor, especially when installed outdoors and on intermittent duty. Consider Drill Rig Duty Explosion-proof motors for outdoor applications.
