Class II Motors

[derek22r]

I have a class II div 1 Group G area where we have a vendor installing a new piece of equipment. This new piece of equipment will have 5 motors that need to be rated for the area. The code book states that either the motor be listed for Class II Div 1 or that it be TEPV. The motor they are suggesting to provide is a Baldor explosionproof TEFC motor. My question is about the Baldor spec sheet for this motor. It states that the motor is rated for Class I Group D and Class II Group F and G. There is no mention of division 1 and 2. Would this motor be suitable for both Class II Div 1 Group G and Class II Div II Group G.

The motor is acceptable. See Section 500.8(C)(2) FPN/IN. Incidentally, identified doesn't necessarily mean listed.
