Mining
Underground and surface mining, where machines run continuously in dust, water and — underground — a methane risk that governs the whole specification.
Industry is a relationship, not a category. A motor does not belong to mining — it is used in mining, and in four other sectors, each of which reads the same specification differently.
Underground and surface mining, where machines run continuously in dust, water and — underground — a methane risk that governs the whole specification.
Upstream, midstream and refining installations where the hazardous-area classification, not the mechanical rating, determines what may be installed.
Process plants with continuous operation, aggressive atmospheres and, in many areas, a hazardous-area classification alongside a corrosion problem.
Thermal, cogeneration and industrial generating plant, covering both the generating set and the auxiliaries around it.
Abstraction, treatment and distribution, where vertical pump sets and continuous duty dominate — and digester gas introduces a hazardous area.
Steel, aluminium and non-ferrous plant: high ambient temperature, heavy shock loading, and electrical duty that no distribution equipment survives.
Small and micro hydro, wind and hybrid installations, where the machine is engineered to a site rather than selected from a range.
Manufacturing, food, materials handling and building services — high volume, standard IEC interfaces, and efficiency-class compliance.
