How to translate '防爆'?

Thank you!!!

I think just 'explosion prevention' - explosion prevention measures, explosion prevention guidelines, etc. Not as catchy as the Chinese though.

Have you got a sentence or two for us to look at?

Thank you, Roddy.

It's a phrase-'防爆电机'.

I translated it as 'blast protection'.

(I hope my boss won't blame me. )

Anyway,

TGIF.

Ah, in that case, it's an explosion-proof motor I might go for blast-proof though.

Chinese, and then you can find the English.

I found this by Googling for the Chinese 防爆电机, found a model number (YB2 in this case) then Googled YB2 and 'motor', because I was sure motor would be in there somewhere. Cheaper, and less reliable, than any dictionary.

EDIT:

Ambinent tempertuer should not be

more than 40℃

- obviously, only proof against cold explosions . . .

EDIT EDIT: Are these motors a) designed to work after an explosion or B) designed not to potentially cause explosions - ie they don't get hot / spark? I think it's the latter, although I didn't at first - see here - I'm just curious. And the English seems to be the same anyway.

I think 防爆 should be "blast-proof"

Nice! Great thanx!

True. It's the latter.

Hmm...definitely need to improve my googling skills.

However,(non-related topic) I'm confused why sometimes I couldn't open up Google.

I have to refresh again and again, or try with google in different languages.

For example, www.google.fr. www.google.de;...

If one doesn't work, I will move on to another language. It works in this way most of the time.

Confused.

Anyway, thanx again.
