Special versions

General information

Ex motors in vertical type of construction with shaft extension pointing down must have a protective cover.

Extensive operating instructions are supplied as standard with explosion-proof motors.

For all explosion-proof motors, designs according to UL (order codeD31) and CSA (order codeD40) are not possible.

Motor connection

For motors in Ex version (except for Zone 22, VIK, motor series 1MJ8 and 1MJ1), certified metric cable glands/sealing plugs are included in the scope of supply.

Motor series 1MJ8 and 1MJ1 have an auxiliary connection box when they are ordered with PTC thermistors, anti-condensation heater or 3 PT 100 for monitoring the windings.

Mains-fed operation

Motors to type of protection

Ex e are only certified for mains operation
2-pole motors 1MA frame sizes 132 to 160 are designed with double rating plate (T1/T2 and T3) as standard. For motor versions with order codes A11/A12 or with voltage code “9” T3-output is then stamped on the rating plate as standard. Alternatively, “T1/T2-output on the rating plate” can be stamped- order codeC30
Ex de/Ex d are designed in the basic version for mains-fed operation.
Motors 1LA/1LG can be modified for use in Zones 2, 21 or 22 if they are ordered using order codes:
- Design for Zone 2 for mains-fed operation - (order codeM72)
- Design for Zone 21, as well as Zone 22 for conducting dust (IP65) for mains-fed operation - (order codeM34)
- Design for Zone 22 for non-conducting dust (IP55) for mains- fed operation - (order codeM35)

Certified motor protection switches/tripping units must be used for motor protection, see Catalog LV 1.

¹⁾Zone 21 takes into account conducting and non conducting dust

Converter-fed operation

The motors are suitable for use with converters for voltage rise timest_s >0.1 ?s forU ?460 V (for motor series 1LA8 up to 500 V.

For converter-fed operation, Ex motors must always be monitored using PTC thermistors. Certified tripping units are required for this purpose, see Catalog LV 1.

For converter-fed operation with frame size 225 and above, it is recommended that an "Insulated bearing cartridge" - Order codeL27 is used.

Type of protection "Explosion-proof enclosure “ EEx de IIC T4/
EEx d II C T4

The motors must be ordered with:

Motor protection with PTC thermistors for converter-fed operation with 3 or 4 embedded temperature sensors for tripping - Order codeA15

Motor protection with PTC thermistors for converter-fed operation with 6 or 8 embedded temperature sensors for alarm and tripping - Order codeA16

For motor series 1MJ6 and 1MJ7 a fourth PTC thermistor is installed in the connection box

Thermal utilization is according to temperature class 155 (F).

The EU type test certificate and factory certificate 2.1 also cover converter-fed operation.

General converters for Zone 2/21/22

1LA and 1LG motors for Zones 2, 21 and 22 for converter-fed operation have 3 PTC thermistors for tripping as standard. 1LG4/1LG6 motors also have an additional PTC thermistor in the connection box.

Optionally available: PTC thermistors for alarm for converter-fed operation in Zones 2, 21, 22 - Order codeA10

For all motors, "MICROMASTER DUTY S9" is stamped on the rating plate complete with the relevant rating data. (Exception: Motor series 1LA8 and 1PQ8).

These rated operating points apply for both constant torque drives and pump/fan/compressor drives. For a constant torque drive, the resulting thermal motor torques in the positioning range must be taken into account.

On the rating plate, four rated operating points are possible in the following variants:

Possible variants:	Rated operating points in Hz				Additional order information
50 Hz field weakening range	5	25	50	f _max	50 Hz voltage: e.g. "9" and L1A
60 Hz field weakening range	6	30	60	f _max	60 Hz voltage: e.g. "9" and L2E
87 Hz characteristic	5	25	87	f _max	87 Hz at 400 V?: „9“ and L3A

Alternatively, rated operating points for SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES, SINAMICSG110 or ET 200S FC on the rating plate can be ordered as follows:

Y68 with plain text (C text)):Y68:SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES

Y68 with plain text (C text)):Y68:SINAMICS G110

Y68 with plain text (C text):Y68:ET 200S FC

Y68with plain text (C text): Y68:SINAMICS S120

The converter type and the associated rating data are on the rating plate!

The reasons for this are the different control levels for the converter with a converter output frequency of 45 Hz and above and the associated derating of the motor.

For compliance with temperature class 130 (B), derating is necessary in the case of converter-fed operation in Zones 2, 21 and 22. Derating information is available on request.

The certificates for the motors and converters for hazardous areas are stored under "Documentation" in the SD configurator tool for low-voltage motors.

Only "one" voltage must be assigned to voltage codes/order codes:

Voltage code	Order code	Supply voltage
3	-	500 VY 50 Hz
5	-	500 V? 50 Hz
9	L1A	400 VY 50 Hz
9	L1B	400 V? 50 Hz
9	L1C	415 VY 50 Hz
9	L1D	415 V? 50 Hz
9	L2E	460 VY 60 Hz
9	L2F	460 V? 60 Hz
9	L2W	440 VY 60 Hz
9	L2X	440 V? 60 Hz
9	L1Y (non-standard winding)	Plain text (max. 500 VY 50 or 60 Hz)
9	L3A ¹⁾	For 87 Hz 400 V? (4- to 8-pole)

¹⁾ Not technically possible for 1LG, BG 315 L.

1LA8, 1PQ8 motors for converter-fed operation

When 1LA8 and 1PQ8 motors are ordered, the speed setting range and the load torque must be specified as well as whether the application is for a "Constant torque drive" or a "Fan/pump/compressor drive".

In some cases, a system test must be performed to ensure that the admissible limit temperature is not exceeded.

• A system test is not generally required for motors for applications with quadratic load torque (M~n²).

• A system test is usually required for motors for applications with constant load torque. In individual cases in which the motor type has already been measured once using the same speed setting range, a new system test is not necessary.

Please inquire in such cases.

For all motors, an additional rating plate complete with the rating data for the converter is fitted.

Converters specially for Zone 2, type of protection "n" or (E)Ex nA II T3

The motors must be ordered with

In the version for order codeM73, PTC thermistors are included in accordance with temperature class 130 (B).

The IEC/EN 60079-15 standard requires that the converter drive for motors is subjected to the "non-sparking" test. The test is available for Siemens motors Ex nA II on Siemens converters in accordance with Factory Certificate 2.1.

Please inquire in the case of a non-Siemens converter (extra charge)
The test will cost more in the case of non-Siemens converters (especially on commissioning).
Commissioning personnel must be provided by the customer for setting up and operating the non-Siemens converter during the test, if required.

Use according to temperature class 130 (B) is mandatory. Frame sizes 400 and 450 are not included in VIK.

Please inquire about converter-fed operation in all cases.

Motors in VIK design with mounted technology (brake, rotary pulse encoder, separately driven fan and anti-condensation heater) are not compatible with Zone 2. Designs for Zone 21/22 are not possible.
