Compact Flameproof Square Plate

Design

The unit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of small ventilation applications. It is ideal for wall mounting but can be mounted at any angle and on the ceiling if required. Fitted with high strength guards to reduce the risk of objects entering fan.

Hazardous Environments

The Compact Flameproof Series can be used to exhaust in areas where the environment has been defined as being hazardous or explosive necessitating the use of flameproof motors. These areas include spray booths and battery charge rooms.

These products are suitable for all Group II hazardous gas environments EXCEPT for the following:

• Where the ambient temperature is less than -20°C or greater than 40°C.
• Where the fan is exhausting from the vapour space of a tank or vessel (Zone 0).
• Where the fan is exhausting immediately adjacent to a continuous source of release (Zone 0).
• In mines susceptible to fire damp.
• Where special conditions exist such as corrosion, water, dust, vibration or high level of UV exist.

Protection

The motor is fitted with thermal protection to conform to the requirements of AS1359. IECEx certification and classification of T6 does not take into account abnormal operation such as locked rotor where the temperature of the surfaces may exceed 85°C. If this is an issue with your application, further protection should be fitted.
