Why is this important?
In many factory and plant settings, people use equipment in environments that contain gas, dust, or other combustible elements. If an explosion was to occur within a machine’s motor in this type of setting, the initial explosion could ignite elements in the air, creating a much bigger explosion and putting lives at risk.
Explosion proof motors play an extremely important role in protecting employees by containing any possible explosions and also preventing larger ones from occurring. Hazardous location motors also protect company equipment and facilities as a whole, ensuring machinery is not damaged or ruined.
