I have a very small project to take care of.
I need to wire an explosion proof motor that is located in a automotive paint mixing room. The motor is located at about 6 inches from an outer wall.
The way I would proceede would be to drill a hole in this thin single layer 18 gauge wall, then slide a piece of 1/2 ridgid conduit, thread it into motor, have the other end sticking out either mount a j-box make the connections with regular wire nuts to piece of MC cable that is to feed power to the motor.
Or spin an explosion proof box on the threaded piece of the protruding conduit.
This paint mixing room is an assembled kit, the lighting is a`class 1 division 2 fluorescent fixture. So I imagine that the room is classified as a class 1 div 2. Based on the label the motor is a class 1 group D.
Please tell me if I'm doing it right, I never do this type of work in residential work.
thanks
