Protect explosion-protected machines against overload according to IEC / EN 60079-14, 
Section "Rotating electrical machines". 
Use a motor circuit breaker, directly monitor the winding temperature or use equipment to 
provide the same functionality corresponding to the explosion type of protection. 
For pole-changing motors, in addition to the circuit breaker, use temperature sensors in the 
windings. 
 
Line supply 
●  Set the protective device (e.g. circuit breaker) to the rated current (see the rating plate). 
●  Or protect the machine using the certified temperature monitoring specified on the 
supplementary plate . 
Converter 
●  Always operate explosion-protected machines fed from converters with temperature 
sensors that directly monitor the temperature. 
 
Line supply 
●  Set the protective device (e.g. circuit breaker) to the rated current (see the rating plate),

Rated
 and the locked rotor time. 
●  Or protect the machine using the certified temperature monitoring specified on the 
supplementary plate.
