F.1 General
Information and standards
Type of protection EEx e and EEx d:
The overload protection and thermistor motor protection of the
SIMOCODE pro system meets the requirements for overload protection of
explosion proof motors for the following types of protection:
• EExd "explosion proof enclosure", e.g. according to DIN EN 50018 or
DINEN60079
• EExe "increased safety", e.g. according to DIN EN 50019 or
DIN EN 60079-7.
Increased danger in hazardous areas means it is necessary to carefully
observe the following notes and standards:
• IEC 60079-14/EN 60079-14/DIN VDE 0165 - 1 Electrical apparatus for
explosive gas atmospheres - Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other
than mines)
• IEC 60079-17/EN 60079-17/DIN VDE 0165 - 10 - 1 Electrical apparatus for
explosive gas atmospheres - Inspection and maintenance of electrical
installations in hazardous areas (other than mines)
• IEC 61241-14/DIN VDE 0165 - 2 Electrical apparatus for use in the presence
of combustible dust - Selection and installation
• IEC 61241-17/DIN VDE 0165 - 10 - 2 Electrical apparatus for use in the
presence of combustible dust - Inspection and maintenance of electrical
installations in hazardous areas (other than mines)
• VDE 0118 Erection of electrical installations in mines
• Betriebssicherheitsverordnung - BetrSichV (Ordinance on Industrial
Safety and Health).
All 3UF7 devices are approved under Device Group I, Category "M2" (mining)
and Device Group II, Category 2 in the area "GD" (areas in which explosive
gas, steam, fog, air mixtures and inflammable dust are present):
*) Note:
This safety and commissioning information is also valid for devices with the
