2.11.3 Single-phase AC motors
It is strictly prohibited to use the DC1 variable frequency drives described in 
this manual to run single-phase AC motors (induction motors), single-phase 
asynchronous motors (capacitor motors), shaded-pole motors, etc.
There are other DC1 variable frequency drive models designed for use with 
these motors:
DC1-S1… and DC1-S2… with IP20 and IP66 degrees of protection.
2.11.4 Connecting EX motors
The following aspects must be taken into account when connecting 
hazardous location motors:
• A DC1 variable frequency drive can be installed in an explosion-proof 
enclosure within the hazardous location or in a control panel outside the 
hazardous location.
• All applicable industry-specific and country-specific regulations for 
hazardous locations (ATEX 100a) must be complied with.
• The specifications and instructions provided by the motor’s 
manufacturer with regard to operation with a variable frequency drive – 
e.g., whether motor reactors (dV/dt limiting) or sine filters are required – 
must be taken into account.
• Temperature sensors in the motor windings (thermistor, Thermo-Click) 
must not be connected directly to the variable frequency drive, but 
instead must be connected through a relay approved for the hazardous 
location (e.g. EMT6).
For more information on how to run single-phase AC motors 
using the DC1 variable frequency drive, please refer to 
Application Note AP040037EN, “DC1 Variable Frequency Drives 
– Operating Single Phase Motors”.
