NEMA Explosion-Proof AC Motors: Frame Size IEC 71

NEMA Explosion-proof AC motors are designed for hazardous locations where combustible gases, vapors, or dust may be present. They comply with various standards for flameproof enclosures, increased safety, and dust ignition protection. These motors come in NEMA frame sizes 143 to 365 and IEC frame sizes 71 to 255. They are suitable for temperatures from -13°F to 185°F and are available in high efficiency classes. The motors have totally enclosed fan cooled, non-ventilated, air over, or forced ventilation designs and use materials like cast iron, steel, and plastics in their construction.

NEMA Explosion-proof AC motors

2 INTRODUCTION Basic design

Flame proof AC electric motors are used in hazardous locations or potentially


hazardous environments where concentrations of combustible gases, vapors Frame size IEC 71
and or dust are present or present some of the time. Motors type 4KTU can
be manufactured to NEMA frame size 143 to 365 as well as IEC frame size
71 to 255.
4KTU motors are three-phase, asynchronous electric motors with short circuit
rotors explosion-protected according to the:
• “Flame-proof enclosure” for the motor housing and “Increased safety”
for terminal box according to UL 60079-1/CSA C22.2 60079-1,
UL 60079-7/CSA C22.2 60079-7 and CSA C22.2 No. 30 (Class I, Zone I)
• “Flame-proof enclosure” for the motor housing and
“Flame-proof enclosure”
for terminal box according to UL 60079-1/CSA C22.2 60079-1 and
CSA C22.2 No. 30 (Class I, Zone I)
• Dust Ignition Proof “DIP” (Class II, Division 1) according to CSA C22.2 No. 25 Frame size IEC 80-132; NEMA 143/5 – 213/5
• Dust protected “NI” (Class II, Division 2) according to CSA C22.2 No. 25
• Protection by Enclosure “Ex tb” (Class II, Zone 21) according to
UL 60079-31/CSA C22.2 No. 60079-31
The standard electric motor is suitable for T4 to T6 temperature classes or
the maximum +257 ˚F to +185 ˚F/+125 ˚C to +85 ˚C surface temperatures
of equipment.
Type 4KTU motors are available in a high efficiency class.

3 CONSTRUCTION

The type 4KTU motors are totally enclosed and fan-cooled (TEFC), as per NEMA Frame size IEC 160-225; NEMA 254/6 – 364/5
MG-1 Part 6. Non-ventilated versions (TENV), air over (TEAO) and with forced
ventilation (TEFV) are available.
