Group E Motor

[NL8]

Can anybody recommend a motor manufacturer that may carry a motor that is Class 1 Div 1 Group C,D and Class 2 Group E in a 5 HP frame? We've already looked at Baldor (a maybe, they may be discontinuing they Group E line in frame sizes that small) Weg (unlikely looking) and Leeson (no-go)?

Update: Weg is a no-go.

Group E is under Class 2, not Class 1. And, since the Class 1 categories are Div I, the Class 2 categories will likely have to be Div I as well.

I would have thought that the Reliance/Baldor line would have covered this combination right out of their catalog. Surely, they would build it for you. No?

We've already looked at Baldor (a maybe, they may be discontinuing they Group E line in frame sizes that small)

We can't guarantee an order before tehy discontinue the line in that HP, and waiting on a custom build puts us too far out of the required ship date if we land the order.

Dave,

We'll have to look into them, I know that name hasn't come up in our search so far, thanks.

If it is Group E is is automatically Division 1. See Section 500.5(C)(1)(3).
