Systems and methods for isolating a conduit enclosure using an adapter plate for an explosion proof motor

Abstract

An enclosure system includes a stator enclosure defining an enclosure opening, and an adapter having a first entry port, and defines a center cavity having a first volume. Enclosure system includes a conduit enclosure coupled to one or more of stator enclosure and adapter. Conduit enclosure includes a base member having at least one side wall, a rear wall coupled to side wall and defining a second entry port, an interior cavity, and a terminal connection block coupled to base member and having at least one terminal. Enclosure system includes at least one electrical lead extending from the stator enclosure through first enclosure opening, through first entry port, through center cavity, through second entry port, and into the interior cavity. Electrical lead occupies a portion of first volume and leaves a remaining volume. Enclosure system includes sealing compound coupled with adapter such that substantially all of remaining volume is occupied.
