What is the difference between explosion-proof levels CT4 and BT4?
1 Answers
The differences between explosion-proof levels CT4 and BT4 are as follows: 1. Different levels: The explosion-proof level of CT4 explosion-proof motors is ExdIICT4, while that of BT4 explosion-proof motors is ExdIIBT4, with a lower protection level than CT4 explosion-proof motors. 2. Different applicable gas environments: BT4 is suitable for some conventional gases, such as methane, ethane, petroleum, hydrogen sulfide, and other common gases. CT4 can cover more uncommon and highly explosive gases, such as hydrogen at CT1 level, water gas, acetylene at CT2 level, and carbon disulfide at CT4 level. 3. Different explosion-proof levels: The explosion-proof level of CT4 explosion-proof motors is higher than that of BT4 explosion-proof motors. 4. Different applicable zones: BT4 is suitable for gas hazardous area Zone 2, with a maximum surface temperature not exceeding 135°C. CT4 is suitable for gas hazardous areas Zone 1 and Zone 2, with a maximum surface temperature not exceeding 135°C.
