Hazardous Area motors EEx
The installation of electric motors where flamable products are continuously handled, processed or storaged, must comply with the most demanding safety standards in order to guarantee life protection, machines and environment. Following to the highest safety standards WEG explosion proof motors are made of robust construction, modern system of flame retention with joint parts carefully designed, precision machining in the T-box eliminating imperfections in the joint parts and fixation with high mechanical strengh bolts.
WEG has many years in the design and operation of motors to be used in the most severe application regarding Hazardous Areas and special applications under the most severe duty requirements. The implementation of ATEX Directives are supported by the CENELEC (EN) standards regarding the enclosure protections of electric motors to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as the hazardous areas classification criteria, depending on the presence of Gas and/or Combustible Dusts.
