Operating explosion-protected machines at the converter without using the appropriate 
protective equipment can result in death or severe injury. 
Always use PTC thermistor monitoring when operating explosion-protected machines at the 
converter. Tripping units according to Directive 2014/34/EU ("Explosion Protection 
Directive") are always necessary when using PTC thermistor monitoring. 
Machines with non-sparking "ec" "nA" type of protection
 
The operation of the explosion-proof machines on the converters is permitted, when the 
specifications for the speed control range and torque characteristic are observed, and if 
winding temperature monitoring is ensured via the integrated temperature sensors in 
conjunction with a certified tripping unit. 
Machines with increased safety "eb" type of protection
 
Converter operation for these machines must be expressly certified. It is essential that you 
observe the separate manufacturer's information and instructions. Converter and protective 
devices must be marked as belonging together and the permitted operating data must be 
defined in the common EC-type examination certificate. 
Machines with type of protection, dust explosion protection "tb" or dust explosion protection 
"tc"
 
These machines are generally equipped with 3 PTC thermistors in accordance with DIN 
44082 with a rated response temperature that depends on the maximum possible surface 
temperature. Select the PTC thermistors in accordance with this standard. The maximum 
temperature at the cable entries is 120 °C. Use suitable cables for this temperature. Do not 
exceed the maximum frequency dependent on the number of poles, which is stamped on the 
rating plate.  
System, converter - cable - electrical machine 
 
Please observe the information and data provided in EN / IEC 60034-17 and 
EN / IEC 60034-25 regarding winding stress. For line supplies with operating voltages up to 
690 V, the maximum value of the voltage peaks at the end of the cable must not exceed 
twice the value of the converter's DC-link voltage.
