Different Structures
The casing and internal design of explosion-proof motors can prevent the sources of fire that cause sparks and explosions during the motor's operation. Therefore, the casing and internal structure of explosion-proof motors are more rigorous and solid than those of ordinary motors. Explosion-proof motors usually adopt special cables and wiring methods, and also use high-temperature-resistant electrical insulating materials.
Different Performances
Explosion-proof motors have stronger performances such as resistance to wear, high temperature, and corrosion, and can adapt to harsher working environments. They have higher requirements in terms of explosion-proof performance, air tightness, dust resistance, and corrosion resistance. While the performance of ordinary motors is mainly based on aspects such as their power, efficiency, and service life.
Different Uses
Explosion-proof motors are mainly used in flammable and explosive places, such as the chemical, petrochemical, and coal mining industries. While ordinary motors are widely used in various fields, including household appliances, mechanical equipment, and industrial manufacturing. With the continuous improvement of the modernization level, the application scope of explosion-proof motors is also becoming increasingly wide.
Different Classifications
Explosion-proof motors are classified into different grades according to the explosion-proof level, such as Ex d, Ex e, Ex n, etc., while ordinary motors are classified into different models and specifications according to their characteristics and power grades. Therefore, the purchase and use of explosion-proof motors and ordinary motors need to be selected based on different needs and specifications.
To sum up, although both explosion-proof motors and ordinary motors are types of motors, they have obvious differences in structure, performance, and uses. When choosing a motor, it is necessary to decide which type of motor to use based on actual needs to ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the motor.
