Motors with an IP20 rating are certified Ex ec Gc only (for Zone 2 use) and have a restriction on the intended location for installation.
Please refer to the specific conditions of the certificate.
Bearing Arrangements
Spigot housings are machined at either end of the stator frame into which the machined spigots of cast iron or fabricated steel end
frames are fitted. The end shields at the Drive End and Non-Drive End carry the bearing arrangements which may be ball, roller or
sleeve and be grease or oil lubricated. Optionally the motor can be arranged with just one bearing at the Non-Drive End (single bearing
motor). Optional bearing insulation is available and the bearing housings may be cast or fabricated. The bearing housings provide a
degree of protection of at least IP55 for equipment Group II, and IP55 for equipment Group IIIB (EPL Dc) and IP65 for equipment Group
IIIC (EPL Db).
Stator
The stator core packs are built from insulated steel laminations which are clamped together by 6 to 12 bars for machines 560 and below
and which are welded and have clamping rings for machines size 630 and above. The wound and impregnated stator assembly is
secured in the stator frame by an interference fit and rotation is further prevented by the use of dowels.
Rotor
The rotor core packs which are built from insulated steel laminations are keyed and/or assembled by interference onto the steel shaft,
located at one end by a shoulder and at the other by a circlip or by circlips on both sides of the shaft. The laminations may be drilled to
allow for radial and/or axial cooling air circulation. The rotor cage is either cast aluminium or built up from copper or aluminium bars.
When a built up rotor is used the copper or aluminium bars are forced into the slots to give an interference fit and end rings are brazed to
the bars.
Balancing of the rotor is achieved either by fixing washers to cast studs on the aluminium rotors only or by fastening washers to the end
rings.
Terminal Boxes
The motors are fitted with separate bolt-on terminal boxes which are manufactured from cast iron or steel and fitted with bolt-on covers
incorporating a gasket which is glued to one surface. Component certified terminal boxes can also be fitted when applicable, as detailed
in the general remarks on this report.
Main terminal boxes may contain insulators, copper bars, current transformers (C.Ts), surge arrestors and capacitors to form single or
double cable arrangements of air insulated and phase segregated versions. Neutral connections may also be included as part of the
main terminal box or as a separate unit.
Auxiliary terminal boxes contain IECEx component certified terminals, as detailed below;

Ventilation
Various methods of cooling are used including louvered open air to air, externally ventilated or totally enclosed versions of air to air or air
to water, with or without silencing. In addition, forced ventilation may be used with separately IECEx certified motors and optionally an
IECEx certified encoder or brake may be attached to the main motor shaft.
External fans when used are manufactured from cast iron, welded steel or aluminium containing less than 6% magnesium.
Windings
Low voltage motors are wound using polyester-imide enamel wire with the overhangs suitably insulated and tied with fibreglass. High
voltage motors are wound using either enamelled copper wire with a polyester and glass fibre covering or bare wire with two layers of
special mica tape.
Motors with rated voltages above 4160V have tape applied to protect against corona effects and also have stress relief tape applied.
After winding, the high voltage motors are vacuum impregnated with a bi-component epoxy resin.
The range of W60 motors can be operated with frequency inverters (variable speed drives) in the following conditions:
The range of M-Line motors can be operated with frequency inverters (variable speed drives) in the following conditions/considerations:
- With PWM variable frequency drives, up to 13800 V, insulation system F (or H), are able to operate within their insulation class
limit, respecting the motor temperature class.
- With forced ventilation (independent cooling system) or oversizing, shall be applied in accordance with the application
characteristics due on variation of nominal frequency.
- With safety thermal margin or power derating to operate within insulation class limit B.
- With variable frequency drives with sinusoidal output signal (equipment able to supply motor voltage and current with negligible
harmonic content), or variable frequency drives type PWM fitted with sinusoidal filters in the output. In this condition it is not
expected significant additional temperature rise (over than 10K), beyond the normally shown by the motor under sinusoidal
supply.
- With variable frequency drives that supply motor voltage / current with greater harmonic distortion, may resulting in additional
heating over than 10K. This situation is usually to occur with higher power machines and low voltage (<1000V) and the motor
should be designed properly.
- Oversizing insulation of motors operating with variable frequency drives can be necessary depending on the application
characteristics and variable frequency drive.
- Use of variable frequency drives that supply PWM voltage with presence of common mode components (zero sequence) require
motor insulation oversizing for voltage higher than 4000V.
- Speed x torque curves for motor shall be supplied for application with a variable frequency drives.
Motors shall be fitted with thermal protective devices which shall be connected into the motor control circuit in order to keep T3 or T4
temperature class and or T125°C or T160°C surface temperature for
dust applications. Reenergizing must not be automatic.
Auxiliaries
Winding, bearing, air/water temperature detectors comprising RTD's, thermocouples, thermistors or thermostats. Refer to the
general remarks for further details.
