Maintenance of explosion protection<br />

Maintenance of explosion protection during operation:<br />

Electrical machine must be <strong>protected</strong> from overheating caused by overloads. The motor protection <strong>de</strong>pends on both the operating<br />

mo<strong>de</strong> and the use of the <strong>electric</strong>al machine.<br />

<strong>Explosion</strong>-<strong>protected</strong> <strong>electric</strong> <strong>motors</strong> are generally approved for operating mo<strong>de</strong> S1, i.e. continuous operation. Other operating<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>s are only permitted if the motor temperature is monitored by reliable <strong>de</strong>vices.<br />

Operating mo<strong>de</strong> Motor protection<br />

S1 Motor protection switch as per EN 60034-1; EN 60079-14<br />

Motor protection switch and temperature sensor in the winding as additional protection<br />

Just the temperature sensor in the winding as the main protection (only permitted for tested<br />

and approved <strong>motors</strong> and with approved control <strong>de</strong>vices)<br />

S2, S3 Motor protection switch with switch-on time switch and/or temperature sensor in the winding<br />

as additional protection.<br />

Just the temperature sensor in the winding as the main protection (only permitted for tested<br />

and approved <strong>motors</strong> and with approved control <strong>de</strong>vices)<br />

S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 Just the temperature sensor in the winding as the main protection (only permitted for tested<br />

and approved <strong>motors</strong> and with approved control <strong>de</strong>vices)<br />
