BFN Line - Low Voltage (ATEX)

( Up to 1,120 KW )

Application:

Environment where an explosive atmosphere will probably not be present under normal operating conditions and, if any, this will be for short period of time, that is, an explosive atmosphere may be present accidentally.

The environments are classified as Zone 2, groups IIA, IIB and IIC, and as Zone 22, groups IIA, IIB and IIC. The most common gases included in this classification are: acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, butanol, buthylic alcohol, ethane, ethanol, acetate of ethyl, gasoline, heptanes, hexanes, natural gas, methanol, oil naphtha, propane, propanol, toluene, esthyrene, solvents in general, acetaldehyde, cyclopropane, diethylic ether, ethane, monoxide of carbon, acetylene, butadiene, oxide of ethane, hydrogen, oxide of propylene and gases containing over 30% of hydrogen.

Standard Features:

Self Ventilated (TEFC)
EFF1 Premium Efficiency
Cast iron frame 63 up to 355M/L
Mounting: B3T
Degree of Protection: IP55
Squirrel cage rotor/Aluminium die cast
Zone 2: class of temperature T3
Zone 22: maximum external surface temperature T 125°C (dust layers up to 5mm)
Stainless steel nameplate AISI 316
Class “F” insulation with T 80K
Continuous duty - S1
Ambient temperature: 40°C , 1000 m.a.s.l.
Regreasing nipples from frame 160 and above
Thermistors 155ºC - 1 per phase
Thermistors 140° C - 1 per phase
Note: If the motor is used at Zone 2 (gas), 155°C PTC is required as it complies with the worse condition for such application. The 140°C PTC may be used as alarm. In case motor is used in areas classified as Zone 22(non-conductive dust), 140°C PTC must be applied, so as to ensure the worse condition is also met under such application.

Construction:

Mechanical protection: IP55
Insulation: Class F
Temperature rise: 80 K
Frames: are in cast iron
Terminal boxes:
For frame sizes 315L and above, the terminal boxes are separated from the motor frame and are in cast iron with a pressed steel cover.
As standard, the terminal boxes are supplied with cable entry in the right hand side viewed from the drive end, however, this may rotated by 180º to permit cable entry on the left hand side.
As option, special terminal box arrangement and sizes are available in fabricated steel
Endshields/flanges: are in cast iron.
Fans:
For frames 315L and above, the fans are made from polypropylene, aluminium alloy or fabricated steel, depending on the frame sizes and the speeds.
Fan covers: are in pressed or fabricated steel.
Finish: Industrial paint system, standard color RAL 5007.

Voltage and Frequency:

Frame size 315L:
As standard, these motors are wound to operate on either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, over the following voltage ranges:
380-415 V - 50HZ / 440-480 V - 60 Hz

A tolerance of -5% up to +6% is permitted for any value of rated voltage within these intervals.
The electrical data described in the present catalogue, is based on the standard supply voltage 400V.
Depending on actual supply voltages/frequencies, this data may vary slightly but the variations will generally remain within the tolerances given in IEC 60034-1.

FFrame sizes 355 and above:
These motors are spot wound for any voltage within the following range:
380 V <= U <= 690 V 50 Hz for powers up to and including 630 kW
500 V <= U <= 690 V 50 Hz for powers above 630 kW
