RAEL ADPE – Explosion-Proof Motors for Fuel Dispensers
RAEL ADPE motors are flameproof Ex db motors designed specifically for fuel dispensers and vapour recovery pumps. RAEL has built more than one million explosion-proof motors for fuel dispensers since the late 1960s, sold all over the world. KJ Export supplies ADPE motors in the Middle East as RAEL's exclusive agent since 2010.

Built for the fuel dispenser
A dispenser motor works in Zone 1, starts and stops many times a day and must fit inside a compact hydraulic cabinet. ADPE motors put the switching electronics inside the flameproof housing, so the dispenser builder does not need extra Ex enclosures:
- Solid-state relay (SSR), power relay or contactor inside the motor housing
- Start and run capacitors and centrifugal switch inside the housing (single-phase V90)
- RC filters and thermal protection with automatic reset
- 2 or 3 cable entries
- Sealed 2RS or 2Z self-lubricated ball bearings
- Aluminium housing, IP55, S1 or S3 duty
- Non-ventilated versions for vapour recovery pumps
- Made in Italy, ATEX and IECEx certified
50 Hz and 60 Hz for Gulf fuel stations
Most ADPE ratings are rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, which makes the same motor usable on 60 Hz networks such as Saudi Arabia and on 50 Hz networks in the rest of the Gulf. Single-phase V90 motors with built-in capacitors are available for sites without a three-phase supply.
