Product catalog summary
Design Specifications:
The document outlines the design specifications for motors, adhering to standards such as IEC, VDE, DIN, ISO, and EN. The motors offer a degree of protection ranging from IP55 to IP65 and utilize cooling methods IC411 (rib-cooled) and IC511 (tube-cooled). They are designed for explosion protection types Exd(e) IIA, B, or C T4 according to EN 60079-1, with terminal boxes available to degree of protection Exd IIC. Rated voltages range from 2 kV to 11 kV, with frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The motors can be converter-fed or connected to the system, with pole numbers from 2 to 20, and construction types IM B3 and IM V1.

Design Features and Marking:
The motors are marked according to the EG Ex Guideline 94/9/EG/ATEX 100a, with CE marking and identification numbers for explosion protection. The document details the rated outputs at 6 kV 50 Hz and the marking for explosion protection, including equipment group, category, and thermal class.

Frame and Corrosion Protection:
The rib-cooled design uses spheroidal cast iron for the frame and endshields, while the tube-cooled design features a compact, rigid construction with stainless-steel cooling tubes. Both designs are torsionally rigid and vibration-resistant. Schorch paint systems provide corrosion protection, suitable for various environments, and are resistant to temperatures from -40°C to +120°C.

Bearings:
The document describes the use of anti-friction and sleeve bearings, determined by factors such as explosion group and motor specifications. Anti-friction bearings include lubricators and grease slingers, while sleeve bearings offer self or force-feed lubrication options.

Noise and Ventilation:
The motors are designed to minimize noise through the interactive design of components like the frame, ventilation system, and bearings. Noise reduction measures include acoustically treated absorbers and frame mantles.

Insulation and Active Part:
The V-Celastik® insulating system uses the VPI technique for high-quality insulation. The stator winding is a corded two-layer winding, and the rotor features a deep-bar squirrel-cage winding for high efficiency.

Operator Safety:
Terminal boxes are designed for high short-circuit strength and shatterproofness, meeting IP55 protection standards. Minimum conductor cross-sections are specified for safety.

Final Tests:
The document describes modern test facilities for verifying flameproof enclosure protection, including explosion tests with gas-air mixtures. Tests are conducted under official supervision, with results recorded in a Test Report.

Exd flameproof enclosure up to 10,000 kW -2

Rib-cooled design : Frame and endshields are made of spheroidal cast iron (EN-GJS-400-15). By means of the segmental arrangement of the cooling ribs and the asymmetrical position of the terminal box the cooling surface of the frame is enlarged as far as this is possible.T ube-cooled design : The frame is a compact and rigid fabricated construction. Itconsists basically of two face plates connected by strong axial bars. These bars are braced against each other and are connected to the frame mantle. With horizontal machines, further rigidity is provided by the motor feet. The stainless-steel cooling...

The type of bearings to be used is determined by the explosion group, the construction, the speed, the output and any additional loadsof the motor. Depending on these parameters or the customers specification, anti-friction or sleeve bearings are provided. For particularly high radial loads, motors can be provided with an additional cylindrical roller bearing at the D-end. Shaft seals aremaintenance-free and provide protection against the ingress of dirt and spray water in accordance with degree of protection IP55. Lubricators and grease slingers ensure constant proper lubrication of the bearings....

Developments in the field of insulation led in the 80Βs to the intro-duction of the V-Celastik > insulating system. This is a system usingthe VPI technique which corresponds to Class F. VPI means that the complete stator (core and windings) isimpregnated with artificial resin in a vacuum/pressure process. The result is a winding with excellent thermal, electrical and mechanical properties.The constantly high quality of the high-voltage insulation isensured by the latest in manufacturing equipment. > 7/0267 Wound stator prior to impregnation The impulse withstand level of the windings is well...

In the basic design, the deep-bar squirrel-cage windingconsists of copper bars brazed to the short-circuiting rings. Depending on expected rotor stresses, either butt or grooved bar-to-ring joints are used. The comparatively low resistance of the copper wind-ing leads to low current/heat losses and, consequent- ly, to high efficiencies. For higher starting torques, or to meet the require-ments of particular torque characteristics, special slot designs are used. The copper bars are driven into the rotor slots and pee-ned to ensure absolutely positive seating. This prevents any movement of the...

Tests are witnessed by a representative of an official testing body. Test procedure and test results are recorded in a Test Report. We are the only European motor manufacturer with such modern testing equip- ment. > European standards contain detailed test procedures for the verification of type ofprotection Flameproof Enclosureђ. These tests serve to prove that the motor can withstand an internal explosion and that the transmission of an explosion to the surrounding atmosphere is prevented by means of adequate gaps at the shaft and the centring spigots of the motor endshields.For these tests,...
