CT4 and CT6 indicate operational surface temperatures, not the withstand temperatures, for explosion-proof products. Products classified under the T6 category provide enhanced safety due to their lower operational surface temperatures compared to the T4 category.
Temperature group of electrical equipment | Maximum allowable surface temperature of electrical equipment (℃) | Gas/vapor ignition temperature (℃) | Applicable device temperature levels |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | 450 | >450 | T1~T6 |
T2 | 300 | >300 | T2~T6 |
T3 | 200 | >200 | T3~T6 |
T4 | 135 | >135 | T4~T6 |
T5 | 100 | >100 | T5~T6 |
T6 | 85 | >85 | T6 |
The CT4 explosion-proof motor carries an Exd IIC T4 rating and is generally used in environments where the ambient temperature is approximately 135℃.
