Latin America Hazardous Location Motors Market Analysis
The Latin America Hazardous Location Motors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2021-2026). The increasing demand for hazardous location motors in utility gas plants, grain elevators, flour and feed mills, carbon handling, and processing areas is rendering significant impetus to the growth of the market in the region.
- When operating in a hazardous location, the use of explosion-proof motors is critical for the safety of personnel and equipment. Explosion-proof motors are intended for use in hazardous environments containing flammable gases, dust, or fibers.
- Under normal operating conditions, electric motors generate heat and have the potential to generate a spark if a motor coil fails. Excessive motor case temperatures or an uncontained spark can cause an explosion or ignite a fire in environments containing specific hazardous materials. Hazardous location motors contain an explosion within the motor casing and prevent the occurrence of sparks.
- However, designing and manufacturing motors that completely engulf an internal explosion without rupturing or passing out any hot gases from the enclosure so that they are forced to exit through a long, narrow opening known as flame paths are the two significant challenges faced by hazardous location motors market.
- Further, the Covid-19 pandemic has also posed several challenges to the studied market, like disruption in the supply chain and increased raw materials prices.
