Description          3 
 
Application Area. 
 
  The three-phase machines of this series are used as industrial 
drives. They are designed for a wide range of drive applications both for line 
operation as well as in conjunction with frequency converters. They are 
characterized by their high power density, extreme robustness, long service 
life and outstanding reliability.  
 
Intended use of the Motors.  
  These motors are intended for industrial installations. They comply 
with  the  harmonized  standards  of  the  series  NEMA  MG1.  If  other/more 
wide-ranging demands (e.g. protection so that they cannot be touched by 
children) are made in special cases – i.e. use in non-industrial installations – 
these conditions must have been complied with in the plant or system itself 
when the motors are installed. 
 
 Use in Hazardous areas. 
 
 Explosion-proof electrical motors XP IECEx correspond to standards of 
the IEC/EN 60079-0 and IEC/EN 60079-1 series. Only operate the motors in 
hazardous areas, strictly complying with the specifications of the responsible 
supervisory authority. 
  The relevant supervisory authority is responsible for determining the 
hazard level of each area and classifying the zones. The types of protection 
as well as the special regulation are stamped on the rating plate or in the 
test certificate. 
  If the certificate number is supplemented with an X, to safety operate 
the motor, observe the special notes in the operating instructions or if 
available on the EC type examination certificate or in the IECEx certificate of 
conformity. The operation with a converter must be certified. It is essential 
that you observe separate manufacturer's information and instructions. 
 
Motors Directive:  
   
  Low-voltage motors are components designed for installation in 
machines in accordance with the current Machinery Directive. 
Commissioning is prohibited until it has been absolutely identified that the 
end product is in conformance with this locals Directives.
