Flameproof and non sparking motors
(OP)
Could someone explain to me what is a flameproof, explosion proof and a non sparking motor.
How is each motor manufactured for the conditions above.
Thanks for the help.

RE: Flameproof and non sparking motors
Explosion-proof motors are flameproof motors but made in the US rather than the UK. Same technology, different name.
Non-sparking motors are designed have minimal risk of generating a spark, through careful design and choice of materials.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
RE: Flameproof and non sparking motors
Before using one of the other carefully review your site conditions and code requirments for your local area. Also speak with teh applications group for the motor supplier, they typicall have decent information.
