Engineered with a rugged design and advanced flameproof technology, the Elektra Explosion-Proof Motor provides peace of mind in critical operations. Its robust construction ensures durability in extreme conditions, while its adaptability makes it suitable for various installations, including environments prone to high humidity, dust, or low temperatures.

Whether powering pumps, compressors, conveyors, or mixers, the Elektra Explosion-Proof Motor guarantees dependable operation while minimizing risks in explosive atmospheres. This motor is the ultimate choice for industries that prioritize safety, efficiency, and compliance with strict hazardous area standards.
 

Elektra explosion-proof motors are designed to operate safely in hazardous environments with explosive gases and combustible dusts.

• Presence of Hazard:

  • Gases: Suitable for Zone 1 (where explosive gases may be present during normal operation) and Zone 2 (where gases are likely only in abnormal conditions).
  • Dust: Suitable for Zone 21 (where combustible dust clouds may be present during normal operation) and Zone 22 (where dust is likely only under abnormal conditions).

• Gas Groups:

  • Group IIC: Can operate in environments with highly explosive gases, including hydrogen and acetylene (the highest gas group for ATEX).
  • Group IIB: Suitable for gases such as ethylene and propylene (less explosive than IIC gases but more hazardous than propane).

• Dust Groups:

  • Group IIIC: Suitable for conductive dust, such as metallic and carbonaceous dust.
  • Group IIIB: Compatible with non-conductive dust, such as grain, flour, and sawdust.

• Temperature Classification:

  • T5: Maximum surface temperature is limited to 100°C, ensuring safe operation in environments where heat-sensitive explosive substances are present.

• Type of Protection:

  • Ex db: Flameproof enclosure for gases, where the motor housing can withstand internal explosions and prevent ignition of surrounding gases.
  • Ex tb: Protection by enclosure for dust, which restricts dust ingress and prevents external dust from igniting.

• IP Rating:

  • IP65: Total protection from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, ensuring durability and safety in harsh environments.
