pics of the nameplates on the peckerhead and the motor. no indication it is factory sealed.
also the catalog sheet shared by our colleague is the cat. sheet for the motor we are using.
thanks.
So why would you believe it is? As I mentioned to tkb above, while you can see the "potting", can you tell if it is a sufficient seal without a manufacturer's marked certification?
Marking for "factory sealing" is a product standard, not an NEC requirement. Since I no longer have access to either the detailed NEMA MG-1 or ANSI/UL 674 Standards, I am responding by memory only.
Baldor/Reliance is a well respected motor manufacturer. In fact, it is a voting member of the NEMA MG-1 Standard committee. If their cut sheet said the product was "factory sealed", I would tend to believe it. As it is, the product is only certified for "Class I", which I also believe.
What I see from the nameplates, is an
explosionproof motor that is NOT
identified as "factory sealed" and is only suitable in Division 1 with an external seal at the motor terminal box.
