Explosion Proof Motors - EFF1 Premium Efficiency - EEx d / EEx de (ATEX)

( Up to 315 KW )

Applications :

Environments containing flammable gases or vapour continuously, intermittently or periodically in enough amount to generate explosive or flammable mixtures arising out of repairs or maintenance services.

The most common locations of Zone 1 and 2, group IIA and IIB are those where the following gases are found present: oil, naphtha, benzene, ammonia, propane, diethylic ether, acetone, alcohol, industrial methane, natural gas.

The main applications include fans, blowers, crushers, conveyor systems, mills, cranes and other applications located in areas that require explosion proof motor

Classification :

IEC Standard:
Zone 1; Group IIB

CENELEC Standard:
Group IIB; Category 2

Note: The classification in Zone 1 means that the motor is suitable to operate also in Zone 2 once Zone 1 represents an operating condition worse than Zone 2. The same applies to Groups and Categories: EEx d and EEx de motors are suitable to operate also in Group IIA and Category

Certification :
