Hazardous environments—like mines, oil & gas facilities, chemical plants and granaries —pose serious risks when it comes to operating electric motors. The presence of flammable gases or explosive dust demands equipment that is meticulously designed to prevent ignition. Toshiba’s Increased Safety (Ex ec) motors are built to meet these challenges head-on. With enhanced creepage and clearance, superior ingress protection (IP), and strict temperature control, these motors are engineered to operate safely under hazardous conditions.

What sets Toshiba apart is its decades-long commitment to mastering the intricacies of hazardous area motor design. Every component, down to the smallest bolt, is traceable and quality-checked. The company’s compliance with rigorous competency certifications—both for its workshops and personnel—ensures that safety is never compromised.

The recent delivery of 50 units of 7.5 kW, 4P, 400V, 50 Hz Ex ec motors capable of delivering high torque at low speeds, is a testament to Toshiba’s reliability and the customer’s confidence in its promise of excellence. With further orders anticipated, this project marks a significant step forward in Toshiba’s journey to redefine safety standards in industrial motor manufacturing.

Congratulations to the entire team behind this achievement!
