Equipment must be designed and constructed so that it prevents ignition sources

arising, even in the event of frequently occurring disturbances or equipment operating
faults, which normally have to be taken into account.
Equipment parts must be designed and constructed so that their stated surface
temperatures are not exceeded, even in the case of risks arising from abnormal
situations anticipated by the manufacturer.
The protection of the Ex p motor is mainly based on the pressured and purged
enclosure. The enclosure should be purged before starting and must be overpressured
all the time during operation. The overpressure must be at least 50 Pa. If it falls under
the trip limit, the electrical supply should be automatically switched off. The purging gas
could be normal air, but it must be supplied from the safe area.
Due to overpressure, the inner part of the enclosure does not belong to the hazardous
area, so the temperature limits of stator and rotor are the same as for a standard
machine. The contributions of single fault condition must still be taken into account (e.g.
the pressure can drop, if pressurized air supply from the network is lost). This means
that all temperatures of the inner parts should be under T-class limit in normal operating
condition

Non-sparking 'n'
This protection prevents sparks or any exceeding surface temperature from occuring in
normal situation for which the motor is certified.
The EHSRs of ATEX Directive corresponding to category 3 must be followed:

Equipment must be so designed as to prevent foreseeable ignition sources which

can occur during normal operation.

Surface temperatures must not exceed the stated maximum surface
temperatures under intended operating conditions included network tolerances.
To be installed in Zone 2, the motor must comply with Category 3 requirements.

The explosive gas penetrates inside the motor without any risks of explosion because:

All parts inside the motor do not exceed the temperature class for which the

motor is approved
No risks at all that sparks occur due to the material selected for the relevant
components, specific design regarding connection.

Note: For non-sparking motors, the gas group is not relevant, only the minimum ignition
temperature has to be taken into consideration.
Design:
New requirements have been introduced in standard 60079-15:2001-02 and EN 50021:
April 1999 regarding the minimum mechanical gap between stator and rotor:
This requirement is the same as for increased safety motors EEx e/Ex e for use in zone
1.
It reinforces the safety aspect in running performance and also during the start up of
the motor.
In addition to the minimum gap between the rotor and the stator, the non-sparking
inside the motor is ensured by:

Minimum value for clearances and creepage distances according to the latest

standards
Insulation material with the highest class of resistance to tracking
Minimum IP 54 protection
Clamping of conductors

High voltage flameproof motors

technical data
Equipment protection level Gb for zones 1 and 2
Benefits

Background
This protection prevents sparks or any exceeding surface temperature from occurring in abnormal and
normal situations for which the motor is certified.
The EHSRs of ATEX Directed corresponding to Category 2 must be followed:

Potential ignition sources such as sparks, flame, electric arc and other ignition sources must not
occur.

Stray electric and leakage currents in conductive equipment parts which could result must be
prevented.

To be installed in Zone 1, the motor must comply with Category 2 requirements even though used in Zone
2.
The explosive gas penetrates inside the motor without any risks of explosion because:

All parts inside the motor do not exceed the temperature class for which the motor is approved

In abnormal situation the motor is switch off before the inside temperature reached the
temperature class of motor

No risks at all that sparks occur due to the material selected for the relevant components, specific
design regarding connection and clearances of moving parts.

In addition to the standards above there is in Germany a recommendation for the minimum tE time under
the reference VIK: Mrz 1999.
This protection is defined by:

Temperature class

tE: The maximum locked rotor time allowed for the motor and used to set up the "e" certified relay
which protects the motor.

This protection is ensured during normal running condition, in inferior conditions and in abnormal
conditions in case of a rotor situation occurring after a continuous running period.
Temperature rise:

The maximum tE time to provide a compatibility with the relay for trip off should follow the minimum value
defined by the standards for increased safety motors.
