Thanks for this informative video. Just wanted to ask if there is a hazardous facility that requires to be explosion proof, are pumps also made explosion proof? If yes, then how?

[@emotorsdirect]

Any pump experts, feel free to chime in here. As far as I'm aware the hazardous area classification does not apply to the pump, except for the process sealing in section 501.17. Because the motor can provide an ignition source, it must be able to contain that potential explosion. The guidelines are expressed in NEC section 500 if you want to look into it further.
