Does anybody know the manufacturer of spark arrestors. These should be installed on a DC motor (1000 hp) in a hazardous area.

What do you gain by putting spark arresters on in an explosion proof area? I was under the impression the only way you could meet explosion proof requirements on a DC motor is to use an explosion proof motor or to put in a purged/interlocked system.
I would like to know your thoughts behind the question?
