Hazardous Area Motors

Protecting production and life

Empowering the Future

 World Leader in Internationally Certifi
Wide-ranging lineup of motors designed for production

1 Certified for Use Worldwide

TMEIC hazardous area motors are a vital element in
protecting human life and productivity during the
manufacturing, processing, transportation and stor-
age of combustible gases and materials. Regardless
of the application or industry, be it oil and gas, chemi-
cal or mining, we have an ideal product to meet your
needs. As testimony to the high level of safety our
hazardous area motors provide, TMEIC has acquired
certification for most regions worldwide.

2 Enhanced Performance (Drive Integration)

Incorporating the best technologies and accumulated experience of Toshiba
and Mitsubishi Electric, in addition to being manufactured for reliability and
safety in harsh operating environments, TMEIC hazardous area motors are
designed for easy variable-speed drive integration. Combined with highly
efficient inverters equipped with the latest control technologies, our systems
ensure precise motor operation that contributes to optimum productivity for
our customers. They’re eco-conscious too, consuming less power, and that
means lower operating costs and a reduction in CO 2 emissions. All TMEIC
integrated motor-drive systems are certified, which eliminates the need for
additional testing; saving both time and money.

3 Pre-start Air Purging Eliminated

The advanced designs of TMEIC Exn and Exe motors have led to some models
passing standard IEC/EN gas tests. Exn motors up to 11kV and Exe motors up
to 6.6kV no longer require air purging before starting.

 To ensure maximum safety, most countries have passed legislation and implemented regula-
tions and laws based on national and international standards. TMEIC motors are certified for
operation in hazardous areas in most regions around the world.

Hazardous area motors are categorized

according to the zone, type of protection
and frame size. The table above shows
the certifications that TMEIC has received
from various authoritative bodies, in many
cases the certifications apply to both
constant and variable-speed motors.

 Classification of Hazardous Area
Zone definition according to EN 60079-10-1/IEC 60079-10-1 and EN 60079-10-2/IEC 60079-10-2

Zone 0 Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods or frequently

Zone 1 Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally

Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur,
Zone 2 will persist for a short period only

Area in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is not likely to occur
Zone 22 in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only

Potentially explosive atmospheres are divided into zones based on the chronological and geographical probability
of the presence of a hazard. Information and specifications regarding zone subdivision for gas atmospheres can
be found in EN 60079-10-1/IEC 60079-10-1, and that for potentially explosive dust atmospheres can be found in
EN 60079-10-2/IEC 60079-10-2. Further, a distinction is made between various explosion groups and temperature
classes, and these are included in the hazard assessment.

Types of Explosion-protected Machines

Type of protection and prevention

Non-sparking in accordance with EN 60079-15/IEC 60079-15

Exn Machines not capable of igniting a surrounding explosive atmosphere during normal operation.
Applicable zones: Zone 2

Increased safety in accordance with EN 60079-7/IEC 60079-7

Machines that do not emit dangerous sparks or temperatures when starting or during normal operation.
Exe Special additional safety measures are taken.
Applicable zones: Zone 1 and 2

Pressurized in accordance with EN 60079-2/IEC 60079-2

Exp Explosive gases that may result in fire are prevented from permeating inside the machine.
Applicable zones: Zone 1 and 2

Flameproof enclosure in accordance with EN 60079-1/IEC 60079-1

Machines constructed to contain an internal explosion and prevent the transmission of flame to the external
Exd atmosphere. Operating temperature is such that it cannot ignite any surrounding gases.
Applicable zones: Zone 1 and 2

Enclosure in accordance with EN 60079-31/IEC 60079-31

Machines enclosed for the purpose of protecting electrical equipment. The surface temperature is limited to
Extc enable use in areas where combustible dust may be present in concentrated levels that could cause a fire or
explosion.
Applicable zones: Zone 22

Depending on the zone and associated hazard, operating equipment must comply with defined minimum protec-
tion requirements. The various types of protection require that motors be subjected to appropriate measures that
will prevent them from igniting the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
