Description
3.1 Area of application
Within the Eurasian customs union, do not use machines without the appropriate EAC
marking.
Using explosion-proof machines without CCC marking
Explosion-proof machines with CCC marking are intended for the Chinese market.
Do not use any explosion-proof machines without CCC marking in China.
Use in hazardous areas
Explosion-proof electrical machines correspond to standards of the IEC/EN 60034 and IEC/EN
60079 series. Only operate the machine 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 type
of protection as well as special regulations are stamped on the rating plate or in the test
certificate. If the certification number is supplemented by an X, to safely operate the
machine, observe the special notes in the operating instructions - or if available, in the EC
type examination certificate or in the IECEx Certificate of Conformity. Converter operation
must be certified. It is crucial that you carefully observe the specific manufacturer's
information and instructions.
Explosion hazard from hybrid mixtures
Hybrid mixtures are mixtures of flammable dusts with explosive gas/air atmospheres which
can together create a dangerous explosive atmosphere if they occur at the same time.
Changes can arise in the safety characteristics here, such as a change in the zonal
classification, increase in the explosion pressure, reduction in the minimum ignition energy
and a reduction in the maximum temperatures to be observed.
An explosion can result. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• For this reason, the relative characteristics must be considered both for gas (zones 0, 1
and 2) and for dust (zones 20, 21 and 22) where hybrid mixtures arise. It is necessary for a
competent assessor to determine in the individual case whether the parameters
determining ignition are unfavorably affected in a particular hybrid mixture.
• Motors with dual plates for G ("Gas") and D ("Dust") may only be used where these two
occur after prior examination of the properties of the hybrid mixtures by the user.
Type of protection Ex db
The machine including the terminal box has type of protection "flameproof enclosure" Ex db
in accordance with IEC / EN 60079-0 and IEC / EN 60079-1 and is designed for operation in
Zone 1 or Zone 2 in accordance with IEC / EN 60079-10-1.
