Does anybody know the manufacturer of spark arrestors. These should be installed on a DC motor (1000 hp) in a hazardous area.

Spek,
Try searching the internet under electrical spark isolation, you should get several hits and information.
Hope this helps.

What do you gain by putting spark arresters on in an explosion proof area? I was under the impression the only way you could meet explosion proof requirements on a DC motor is to use an explosion proof motor or to put in a purged/interlocked system.
I would like to know your thoughts behind the question?
