EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this Certificate are as follows:

The W21 Range of Small Induction Motors has shaft centre heights ranging from 63 to 355mm and comprises cast iron or aluminium frames
for horizontal or vertical, foot and/or flange mounting. The flanges may be oversize or undersize as required and the shell provides a degree
of protection of at least IP55. The range covers 2 to 10 pole 3 phase windings for 50 or 60Hz and is designed for connection to supplies up
to 1000V and up to 1100V for dust only applications. Two speed motors are also included in the range.

Refer to the Annex to this certificate for the full description of the equipment.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE: YES as shown below:

1. The T3 temperature classification does not include motor starting or cover motors under duty cycle conditions.

2. The installer must ensure that any equipment certified cable glands and stopping plugs fitted to the terminal boxes are suitably IECEx/ATEX
approved. Any unused cable entries must be fitted with IECEx/ATEX certified stopping plugs. When installed the cable gland or stopping plug
must maintain the marked IP rating of the enclosure.

3. All terminal nuts and screws, whether used or not, shall be correctly tightened.

4. When tightening supply connections care should be taken to maintain clearance distances.

5. On auxiliary terminals the conductor insulation shall extend to within 1mm of the terminal throat.

6. There shall be no loose conductor strands on any terminal.

7. The stator RTDs and thermistors must be connected as simple apparatus into intrinsically safe circuits.

8. Anti-condensation heaters shall not be energised when the machine is energised.

9. Where auxiliary apparatus is fitted that is not covered by this certificate the installer and/or user, as appropriate, must ensure that it is
suitable for the conditions of use and that it does not invalidate this certification.

ANNEX to IECEx BAS 10.0045X Issue No. 0 Date: 17/09/2010

The W21 Range of Small Induction Motors has shaft centre heights ranging from 63 to 355mm and comprises
cast iron or aluminium frames for horizontal or vertical, foot and/or flange mounting. The flanges may be
oversize or undersize as required and the shell provides a degree of protection of at least IP55. The range
covers 2 to 10 pole 3 phase windings for 50 or 60Hz and is designed for connection to supplies up to 1000V
and upto 1100V for Dust only applications. Two speed motors are also included in the range.

Bearing Arrangements

Spigots are machined at either end of the stator frame onto which the machined spigot housings of cast iron
end frames are fitted. The end shields carry the bearing arrangements which are ball or angular contact and
may be grease or oil lubricated. Optional bearing insulation is available and the bearing housings may be
cast or fabricated.

Stator

The stator core packs are built from insulated steel laminations which are clamped together. The wound and
impregnated stator assembly is secured in the stator frame by an interference fit.

Rotor

The rotor core packs which are built from insulated steel laminations are interference fit onto the steel shaft.
The rotor cage is die-cast aluminium and balancing of the rotor is achieved by fixing washers to cast studs on
the aluminium rotors. Double shaft extensions are included in the range. The construction of the rotor is
assessed against Table 6 of IEC 60079-15:2010 and appropriate action taken if the results dictate it is
required.

Terminal Arrangement

The motors are fitted with separate bolt-on cast iron terminal boxes fitted with bolt-on covers incorporating a
gasket which is glued to one surface.

Main terminal boxes contain cast polyester resin/fibre glass insulator blocks incorporating steel terminal studs,
earthing terminals and optionally auxiliary terminals.

Auxiliary terminal boxes contain IECEx/ATEX component certified terminals. Details of which are shown
below:

The WEG ATEX only component certified terminals have been accepted in accordance with IECEx
Operational Document OD009 Clause A.2.2 as detailed in the report GB/BAS/ExTR10.0072/00.

Optionally the auxiliary terminal box may be integrally cast with the main terminal box or be a bolt-on addition
to the main terminal box.

Ventilation

Various methods of cooling are used including TEBC, TEFC, TEAO or TENV. For TEBC versions a
separately IECEx/ATEX certified blower motor is utilised and optionally an IECEx/ATEX certified encoder may
be attached to the main motor shaft.
External fans when used are manufactured from polypropylene, cast iron, bronze or aluminium containing
less than 6% magnesium.

Windings
The low voltage motors are wound using polyester-imide enamel wire with the overhangs suitably insulated
and tied with string in order to compact them and keep the insulation between phases in place.

Use of Variable Voltage Variable Frequency Drives

The W21 range of small motors may be operated with frequency inverters (variable speed drives) in the
following conditions:

- For a motor to operate with the restriction of optimal flux the motor has to be IE2 High Efficiency rated
or higher and the motor is to be supplier by a WEG inverter (Type CFW09 version 2.40 or higher, or
the CFW11) and be de-rated according to WEG's de-rating curve.

- Use of WEG PWM inverters (variable speed drives) or equivalent brand with carrier frequency from
2000 Hz up to 20000 Hz, with a frequency range up to 100 Hz or in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations.

- When motors are operated below 50 Hz with contact torque loads, a de-rating factor as per WEG's
de-rating Curve for Motors fed by Inverters shall be applied.

- Motors shall be fitted with thermal protective devices which shall be connected into the motor control
circuit in order to maintain the T3 temperature class.

Auxiliaries

The auxiliaries which may be fitted to this range of machine are:-

- Anti-condensation heaters
- Winding temperature detectors comprising RTD's, thermocouples or thermistors.

Ambient Temperatures

The standard temperature range of the motors is -20°C to +50ۡ°C. By the choice of suitable materials and use
of the de-rating data called up on the drawings an ambient range of -55°C to 80°C may be achieved.
Individual motors must be marked according to the build of the unit.
