I am looking for a 0.6/1.6 KW,415 V, 50 HZ, 3830/1412 rpm dual speed squirrelcage induction motor for an air blower to go with a heat exchanger.Normally these motors are IP 56 class.Will these motors be available in IP 67 class so that the motors will not get damaged in case the motor gets submerged in water during floods service.I was told that such motors are rare as the seals used may not be excellent for both water and air use.Any additional information?How costlier are IP 67 over 56? Any reputed makes for IP67?
