ATEX ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS DUTY™ MOTORS
2
Background ATEX = “Atmosphere Explosible”
European Union (EU) Directive 94/9/EC Mandatory (by law) for covered equipment placed into service July 1, 2003 Covers equipment with potential ignition source, or components of equipment, such as electric motors
3
Requirements for certification
“Notified Body” conformity assessment: EC Type examination (inspection of design) Production Quality Assurance Product Verification Internal Production Control Must have CE mark to confirm compliance ATEX directive based on CENELEC and IEC standards
4
Area Classification Class I - Flammable gases, vapors & mists
Zone 0 “Explosive continuously” Zone 1 “Explosive under normal conditions” Zone 2 “Explosive under abnormal conditions” Class II - Combustible dusts Zone 20 (same as Zone 0, for dusts vs gases) Zone 21 (same as Zone 1, for dusts vs gases) Zone 22 (same as Zone 2, for dusts vs gases)
5
Categories of Use Categories M1 and M2 refer to mining
Categories 1G and 1D refer to Zone 0 Category 2G - Zone 1/Gas (non-mining) Category 3G - Zone 2/Gas (non-mining) Category 2D - Zone 21/Dust (non-mining) Category 3D - Zone 22/Dust (non-mining)
6
Equipment Groups Group I (applicable to mining equipment)
Group II (non-mining): Group IIA (propane-type gases) Gases covered under NFPA Group D Group IIB (ethylene gases) Gases covered under NFPA Group C Group IIC (acetylene and hydrogen) Gases covered under NFPA Groups A and B
7
Class II Flammable gases, liquids and mists
Group IIA - Propane, acetone, ammonia, benzine, butane, ethanol, gasoline, hexane, methane, natural gas, naphtha Group IIB - Ethylene, ether, ethyl Group IIC - Acetylene, hydrogen, butadiene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, acrolein
8
Class II Combustible Dusts*
Group E - metal (N/A from Marathon) Group F - coal, coke, carbon black, charcoal Group G - grain, flour, wood, plastic, chemical Noted as “D” on nameplate marking * ATEX does not define dust groups, as categorized for gases (eg. IIA, IIB, IIC)
9
Class III Ignitable Fibers & Flyings
Class III locations Division 1: Easily ignitable fibers or materials producing combustible flyings are handled, manufactured or used. Division 2: Easily ignitable fibers are stored or handled. No material groups defined Not available from Marathon Electric
10
Class I; Zone 0, 1 & 2 Protection Methods
Zone 0 - not applicable to motors Zone 1: “Flameproof” (‘d’), IEC50018 compliant “Increased Safety” (‘e’), IEC50019 compliant Zone 2: “Non-Sparking” (‘nA’), IEC50021 compliant
11
Temperature codes
12
Required markings CE Marking
ID # of Notified Body (Intertek Testing & Certification, Ltd.) EU Explosive Atmosphere symbol Equipment Group (I=Mining, II=Above-ground/non-mining) Category (2=Zone 1, 3=Zone 2) Gas (G) or Dust (D); if both, may list D only 0359 II G Explosion Protection Protection Method Gas Group (omit if Dust or if all gas groups included) Temperature Code (see previous slide) IP Code Ex nA IIC T IP56
13
ATEX markings CE Mark asserts that equipment meets all essential requirements of the relevant European Directive. It is often accompanied by the Notified Body identification number. “CE” may have originally stood for “Conformite Europeenne” (European Conformity). Ex Mark is the European Union (EU) Explosive Atmosphere Symbol, and is found on any equipment whose end use or installation may be within a hazardous location as determined by the authority having jurisdiction. 0359

17
Zone 2 Non-sparking “nA”
Non-sparking enclosure, low temperature Gas groups IIA, IIB, IIC (marked IIC) Temperature code varies by product line and power supply (VFD vs line power) Class I (Gas) coverage Compliant with IEC50021 Ex nA IIC T3; Group II, Category 3G
18
Typical Nameplate
19
Marketing Strategy Leverage existing relationships with NA-based OEMs that export equipment Emphasize lead-time advantage Target competitive weaknesses (not full line, unknown entity in NA, questionable support, exchange rate) Sell credibility (knowledgeable sales force, 3rd Party Certification) Pull through with existing XP business Target Oil & Gas market, forecasted above-average market performance
