In environments categorized as IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, IIIC locations pose the greatest risk. IIIC explosion-proof servo motors are appropriate for use in IIIB dust environments, whereas IIIB motors are not intended for use in gaseous environments.
All explosion-proof servo motors are classified as IIIC, making them suitable for a range of dusty conditions.
