Explosion-proof Design Ensures Safe Performance in
Dangerous Environments (d2G4) |
The RVX1 Series vibrating motors feature a special explosion-proof
design that makes them ideal for use in environments where
explosive gases and other dangerous substances are present.
Conforming to d2G4 requirements, the RVX1 motors can be used
with confidence in Class 1 danger zones and in environments where gases
with a G4 ignition temperature are generated. |
■Features |
1. Can be used in Class 1 danger zones |
The RVX1 Series vibration motors can be used in Class 1 danger
zones because of their (d)-type explosion-proof construction, which
ensures that the unit remains intact even if explosive gas seeps inside
and ignites. Class 1 danger zones are zones in which explosive gases
can potentially collect in hazardous densities under normal conditions,
or in which repairs, maintenance work, or leaks frequently result
in the potential for such gases to collect in hazardous densities. |
2. Can be used in environments where gases with a G4 ignition temperature are present |
The RVX1 Series motors can be used with confidence in environments
where gases with a G4 ignition temperature (135℃--200℃) are generated.
There are five categories of ignition temperature: G1, G2, G3, G4,
and G5. The higher the G number, the lower the temperature required
to ignite the gas. The G4 category includes such gases as acetaldehyde
and ethyl ether. |
3. Approved as a d2G4 product |
RVX1 motors meet or surpass all requirements for approval as
a d2G4 product in accordance with the Guidelines for Explosion-proof
Industrial Electrical Equipment as formulated by the Industrial
Safety Research Institute of the Ministry of Labor. |
