Emerson has introduced the Appleton ACSE Series of across-the-line magnetic pushbutton motor starters specially engineered for highly challenging NEC Class 1, Division 1 (C1D1) areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, or liquids are present. Designed to start single and polyphase Vac or Vdc motors, Appleton ACSE Series models are supplied with Square D or GE manual motor starters using three overloads, and arrive ready for immediate installation with bolt-on mounting feet.
C1D1 classification is crucial for workplace safety and compliance in industries that deal with flammable materials during normal operations, such as oil refineries, mining, aircraft hangers, chemical plants and petrochemical processors. Appleton ACSE motor starters are C1D1 rated, providing the most reliable, safe performance and operational efficiency in these locations, as well as in C1D2, C2D1, C2D2 and C3 hazardous areas.
In addition to being explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof, Appleton ACSE motor starters are NEMA 3 and 3R waterproof rated, enabling them to endure exposure to rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, and ice formation. Cast aluminum enclosures feature mating surfaces that are precision milled to exceed explosion-proof specifications, combined with a stainless steel shaft, bushing and cover bolts.
