18  Operating Instructions, 06/2018, A5E44455710A 
If the three-phase motor is cooled using a external fan, then it must be carefully ensured that 
the motor can only be operated with the cooling switched on. 
When commissioning, it must be carefully ensured that when fed from a converter, no 
inadmissibly high overvoltages occur at the motor terminals. The clearances and creepage 
distances in the terminal box do not permit overvoltages as a result of converter operation 
with a periodic peak value of more than: 
- 1500 V for rated voltages ≤ 500 V. 
The motor insulation system may mean that it is necessary to further limit periodically 
occurring overvoltages.

3336X, PTB 01 ATEX 3337X, PTB 04 ATEX 3041X 
Special conditions relating to the installation: 
If the non-terminated cable ends are connected to the external power circuit according to EN 
60079-0, Paragraph 14.1 in the hazardous zone, then a terminal box with its own certification 
and explosion protection marking must be selected according to the conditions that prevail at 
the installation site. 
 - PTB 02 ATEX 3024X 
It is only permissible that these types of motors are operated in conjunction with gas return 
pumps at converters of the type specified above with the defined setting values. Further, 
they must be monitored using the adapted equipment described in the data sheet. The 
maximum cable length between the converter and motor is 4 m. 
 - PTB 03 ATEX 3053X, PTB 03 ATEX 3054X 
It is only permissible that the motors are operated with a converter and filter of the types 
specified in the data sheet with the setting values defined there. The motors must also be 
monitored corresponding to what is specified in the data sheet. 
BVS 14 ATEX E 081 X, BVS 14 ATEX E 082 X 
It is only permissible that the motor is fed from a voltage-source DC link converter with pulse 
width modulation, maintaining the parameters listed in Section 15.3. 
Before commissioning it must be carefully ensured that when fed from a converter, no 
inadmissibly high overvoltages occur at the motor terminals. The clearances and creepage 
distances in the terminal box do not permit overvoltages as a result of converter operation 
with a periodic peak value of more than 1500 V for rated voltages ≤ 1000 V. 
The motor insulation system may mean that it is necessary to further limit periodically 
occurring overvoltages.
