3 Operation and Repairs
Duty types and thermal protection
• In S1 duty class motors a temperature sensor (TS) can be used in addition to the motor circuit breaker as required
by DIN EN 60079-14, VDE 0165.
• If in S1 duty cycle motors protection is to be provided against overheating only by means of the TS, a proven combi-
nation of TS and tripping device is to be used for said purpose.
• In the case of non-S1 duty cycle motors proven combinations of TS and tripping device must be used as protection
against overheating.
• The supplying of power to the motors via the frequency converter is permissible only if a proven combination of TS
on the windings and tripping device is used.
Special operating conditions
The operating of the motors at ambient temperatures outside the generally valid range of –20 to +40 °C is allowed also
without heater if an appropriate temperature range – e.g. –55 °C <
T
amb
< 60 °C – is specified on the rating plate.
Operation at less than –20°C is allowed also without any additional indication if the temperature of the entire motor is
maintained at least at -20 °C by means of a space heater.
At motor temperatures of less than -20°C the heater must not be started, as these are not explosion-protected.
Heat input through the driven machine
It must be ensured that no quantities of heat greater than the maximum heating values specified in table are conveyed
from a mounted machine to the interface with the motor (e.g. shaft and motor flange). This way it is guaranteed that no
point of the motor exceeds the temperature class.
