Explosion-proof electric motors
In many industries, there are factors that create an explosive situation (flammable gases, vapors, etc. are released). In such conditions, the operation of electrical equipment is associated with the risks of fires and explosions. That is why explosion-proof electric motors with special technical characteristics are used to work in an unsafe environment. The design features of this equipment allow you to protect equipment from self-explosions in the event of a spark in the engine, and also prevent fire from escaping into the external environment when it appears inside the device.
Explosion–proof electric motor - design features
In their design, explosion-proof electric motors resemble standard asynchronous drives with a short-circuited rotor. These devices have the same body dimensions, power, rotor speed, shaft dimensions and other indicators.
The main difference between such electric motors from conventional models is the presence of a special outer shell created from special materials. This shell protects the unit from the effects of adverse external factors and explosions.
Modern explosion-proof electric motors presented in the catalog of the Salutech company have the following design features:
- A reliable case. It is made of a material that does not support gorenje and prevents the spread of fire in case of emergency situations. The material is able to withstand high pressure values arising from explosions inside the equipment. The case is completely sealed. External vapors cannot get inside the engine,
- By connecting motors with other parts. This is usually done using toothed couplings,
- The presence of cooling provided by a fan. It is located on the motor shaft on the non-drive side,
- Using cables that meet explosion safety standards. Protection is provided by the use of metal elastic rings,
- The presence of a massive terminal box with a reinforced casing,
- The use of filters that protect the device from penetration of foreign elements.

Types of explosion-proof motors
The use of such equipment does not prevent explosions, it helps to reduce the degree of adverse consequences arising from them. There are the following types of explosion-proof motors:
- Devices designed for use in rooms where there is an abundance of explosive dust,
- Models for external facilities and installations with an explosive environment,
- Devices designed to equip equipment used in performing underground work.
