Synchronous motors for harzardous locations
Synchronous Motors
Hazardous-duty synchronous motors satisfy ATEX standards for potentially explosive atmospheres as defined by CE directive 94/9/EC. Motors are available in UL-listed versions for use in Class 1, Group D locations. High pole count motors turn at slower speeds (72 rpm at 60Hz, or 60 rpm at 50Hz).
