The CT6 explosion-proof classification is notably high. Both models are designated as Class C in terms of explosion safety, with T5 and T6 indicating the maximum surface temperatures for the equipment.
| Temperature Classification for Electrical Equipment | Maximum Permissible Surface Temperature of Electrical Equipment (°C) | Gas/Vapor Ignition Temperature (°C) | Applicable Equipment Temperature Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 selection from T1 to T6 is guided by the flash points of hazardous materials, with T6 providing greater safety compared to T5, thus suitable for a broader range of hazardous environments. The appropriate rating is determined based on factors such as the power output, heat generation, and the flash points of the hazardous materials involved.
