Protect explosion-protected machines against overload according to IEC / EN 60079-14,
Section "Rotating electrical machines".
Use a motor circuit breaker, directly monitor the winding temperature or use equipment to
provide the same functionality corresponding to the explosion type of protection.
For pole-changing motors, in addition to the circuit breaker, use temperature sensors in the
windings.
Line supply
● Set the protective device (e.g. circuit breaker) to the rated current (see the rating plate).
● Or protect the machine using the certified temperature monitoring specified on the
supplementary plate .
Converter
● Always operate explosion-protected machines fed from converters with temperature
sensors that directly monitor the temperature.
Line supply
● Set the protective device (e.g. circuit breaker) to the rated current (see the rating plate),
