40   Planning the electrical installation
Note 2: 
Explosion-safe (EX) motors
The motor manufacturer should be consulted regarding the construction of the 
motor insulation and additional requirements for explosion-safe (EX) motors. 
Note 3: 
ABB high-output motors and IP23 motors
The rated output power of high output motors is higher than what is stated for the 
particular frame size in EN 50347:2001. This table shows the requirements for ABB 
random-wound motor series (for example, M3AA, M3AP and M3BP).
