Royals Electric offers a wide range of hazardous duty motors used in explosive atmospheres containing flammable gases and/or combustible dusts, featuring maximum reliability and safety

North American installations

North American standards for electric motors generally fall into one of two divisions. Division 1 Explosion Proof motors in accordance with NFPA Class I (Flammable Gases) or Class II (Combustible Dusts) and Groups (gases or dusts), depending upon the atmosphere. Division 2 motors are non-sparking motors.

European installations

Motors for hazardous locations in Europe must meet a different set of standards and require different markings than those of North America. CENELEC sets the standards for equipment in hazardous locations for Europe. Motors for use in explosive atmospheres in Europe are often referred to as flameproof (Zone 1) or non-sparking (Zone 2) motors. These motors must comply with the ATEX Directive. The ATEX Directive covers all electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres. To ensure compliance with the Directive, equipment must meet the essential ATEX requirements and carry the CE mark on the nameplate. Other information required on the nameplate includes the Ex symbol, group & category, Ex protection method, gas group, and temperature code, example (II 3 G Ex nA IIC T3).
