Supplementary installation, operating and maintenance instructions English Explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor for high voltage and Safety Directive” (formerly ATEX 118a or 137). The basis for explosion-proof products is Directive 2014/34/EU. This specifies the requirements of products for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. These are supported by corresponding standards (see below). Explosion-protected electrical machines to which these instructions apply must be constructed in accordance with the standards of IEC/EN 60034 (VDE 0530), IEC/EN 60079-0 and the standards IEC/EN 60079-7 and IEC/EN 60079-31 valid for the corresponding ignition protection type.

Supplementary installation, operating and maintenance instructions English Explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor for high voltage Shaft end upwards: For designs with the shaft at the top, the operator must prevent foreign bodies and water from falling vertically into the shaft. With the shaft end upwards, ingress of water or liquid along the shaft must also be prevented. When installing surface-cooled motors, it must also be ensured that the condensation water drain holes are located at the lowest point.

Electrical machines with ignition protection type increased safety “eb” for heavy starting (starting time > 1.7 x time) must be protected by a start-up monitoring system in accordance with the information on the Decla- ration of Conformity and must be explicitly certified for this application.
Supplementary installation, operating and maintenance instructions English Explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor for high voltage Risk of ignition at the stator The same criteria apply as for ignition protection type “eb”. We advise the plant operator to carry out the risk assessment (according to IEC/EN60079-7, Annex G) before commissioning, as changes to operating condi- tions compared to the design or order cannot be excluded.

The minimum wall thickness of the housing jacket outside the centring rim of 9 mm is maintained and increases towards the core.
- Repairs to the bearing and sealing of dust ignition-proof motors (Ex 2D, 3D) and this may only be carried out by VEM service personnel or by/in authorised workshops of qualified per- sonnel who have the necessary knowledge based on their professional training, experience and instruction.
Supplementary installation, operating and maintenance instructions English Explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor for high voltage Maintenance work (except relubrication) must only be carried out when the machine is at a standstill. It must be ensured that the machine is secured to prevent it from being switched on and has an ap- propriate warning sign.
Supplementary installation, operating and maintenance instructions English Explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor for high voltage Turn the shafts at least once a year to avoid permanent standstill marks. If the bearings are stored for a longer period of time, the grease service life of the bearings will be reduced (ageing). It is advisable to check the condition of the grease on open bearings once a year.
