The protection level of dust explosion-proof motors can be classified according to different international standards, and is usually represented by the IP (Ingress Protection) level. The IP rating consists of two numbers, the first number indicates the protection level, and the second number indicates the protection level. For example, IP65 indicates high protection against solid objects and the ability to prevent the intrusion of jet water. In dust explosion-proof environments, common protection levels include IP5X and IP6X, where 5 represents the level of protection against dust and 6 represents the level of protection against dust.
Dust explosion-proof motors require a higher protection level because: The impact of dust on equipment performance and life: Dust will enter the inside of the motor, affect the operation of the motor, reduce efficiency, and even damage motor parts, leading to equipment failure or short life. Safety considerations: Dust may cause fire or explosion inside a high-temperature or high-speed rotating motor, so a higher protection level is required to prevent dust from entering and ensure the safe operation of the motor in hazardous environments.
Therefore, in order to protect the inside of the motor from dust and ensure safe performance in hazardous environments, dust explosion-proof motors require a higher protection level.
