Class 1 Division 2 Motors
Class 1 Division 2 motors are designed for hazardous locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present, but only under abnormal conditions. Unlike Class 1 Division 1 motors, which are built for areas with continuous exposure to hazardous substances, Class 1 Division 2 motors offer safety features to reduce the risk of ignition in less hazardous settings. Shop inventory from trusted brands including Baldor and Brook Crompton.
These motors are not inherently explosion-proof, but they include protective designs to minimize ignition risks in the event of a malfunction or failure. Their explosion-resistant features make them ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing, where hazardous conditions are less frequent but still require added protection.
