Hazardous locations are categorized based on the frequency and duration of explosive gas atmospheres:

• Zone 0: Constant or long periods of exposure
• Zone 1: Likely to occur in normal operation
• Zone 2: Unlikely and for short duration

Gas Groups

• IIA: Propane, ethanol, acetone
• IIB: Ethylene, carbon monoxide
• IIC: Hydrogen, acetylene

Temperature Classes: T1 (450°C) to T6 (85°C), with T3/T4 being common for IIA/IIB.

CG Power Motor Types for Hazardous Areas

• Ex d (Flameproof): Withstands internal explosion and prevents propagation. Suitable for Zone 1 & 2, IIA/IIB, T4.
• Ex e (Increased Safety): No arcing or sparking parts. Designed for Zone 2.
• Ex nA (Non-sparking): Safe for Zone 2; no flameproof enclosure needed.
