Using the drive in potentially explosive areas

Explosive area
DOK-MOTOR*-MKE*******-PRJ1-EN-E1,44 • 06.97
The figure below illustrates how to mount the drive in potentially explosive
areas. The following components must meet the demands made for ex-
plosion protection:
• motor with mountable components
• circuits which lead into the potentially explosive areas
Fig. 2-1: Potentially explosive area
MKE motors are prototype tested as per EN 50014 ff (European stan-
dards) and have been released for use in potentially explosive areas. The
relevant drive controllers and any plugin connectors for the lines (power
and feedback connections) must be situated outside of the potentially
dangerous area.
Danger of explosion
Danger to life, severe injury and property damage
⇒ Do not install drive controllers and plugin connectors
within the hazardous area.
DANGER
⇒ Make sure that plugin connectors do not end up in the
hazardous area.
⇒ Do not pull plugin connectors when machine is live!
⇒ Make sure that sparks cannot be generated in the
hazardous area.
