INTERPRETATION SHEET
Interpretation sheet for IEC 60079-14:2013, Explosive atmospheres – Part 14: Electrical
installations design, selection and erection
Following decision No 1 of the SC 31J meeting in Frankfurt in 2016, the issuing of an
Interpretation Sheet for IEC 60079-14:2013 was requested, in order to clarify the issues
relating to the installation of the converter supply or reduced voltage starting of electric
motors.
Details of interpretation:
Interpretation of sub clauses 11.2.1 b), 11.2.2 b), 11.3.5 b), 11.4.1 b) 11.4.2 b), 11.5.1 b),
11.5.2 b), 11.6.1 b) and 11.6.2 b) for Motors with converter supply or reduced voltage
starting
The motor has not been type-tested for this duty as a unit in association with the converter.
In this case, means (or equipment) for direct temperature control by embedded temperature
sensors specified in the motor documentation or other effective measures for limiting the
surface temperature of the motor housing shall be provided. The effectiveness of the
temperature control shall take into consideration power, speed range, torque and frequency
for the duty required and shall be verified and documented. The action of the protective
device shall cause the motor to be electrically disconnected.”

Question
Is physical disconnection, such as a switch (circuit breaker) or contactor, required to
accomplish the intent of this requirement ?
Interpretation
The intention of this requirement is to protect the machine from excessive surface
temperatures.
Any action within the control circuit for the motor that accomplishes one of the following
satisfactorily meets the intent of this requirement:
• direct physical disconnection resulting in no output voltage to the motor, or,
• control circuit intervention such as ceasing modulation, resulting in the motor not
operating.
NOTE In this case, voltage to a motor may still exist, but the motor does not operate.

IEC 60079-10-1:2020(Main)
Explosive atmospheres - Part 10-1: Classification of areas - Explosive gas atmospheres

IEC 60079-10-1:2020 is concerned with the classification of areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise and may then be used as a basis to support the proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment for use in hazardous areas.
It is intended to be applied where there may be an ignition hazard due to the presence of flammable gas or vapour, mixed with air, but it does not apply to:
a) mines susceptible to firedamp;
b) the processing and manufacture of explosives;
c) catastrophic failures or rare malfunctions which are beyond the concept of normality dealt with in this standard;
d) rooms used for medical purposes;
e) domestic premises;
f) where a hazard may arise due to the presence of combustible dusts or combustible flyings but the principles may be used in assessment of a hybrid mixture.
Flammable mists may form or be present at the same time as flammable vapour. In such case the strict application of the details in this document may not be appropriate. Flammable mists may also form when liquids not considered to be a hazard due to the high flash point are released under pressure. In these cases the classifications and details given in this document do not apply.
For the purpose of this document, an area is a three-dimensional region or space.
Atmospheric conditions include variations above and below reference levels of 101,3 kPa (1 013 mbar) and 20 °C (293 K), provided that the variations have a negligible effect on the explosion properties of the flammable substances.
In any site, irrespective of size, there may be numerous sources of ignition apart from those associated with equipment. Appropriate precautions will be necessary to ensure safety in this context. This standard is applicable with judgement for other ignition sources but in some applications other safeguards may also need to be considered. E.g. larger distances may apply for naked flames when considering hot work permits.
This document does not take into account the consequences of ignition of an explosive atmosphere except where a zone is so small that if ignition did occur it would have negligible consequences.
This third edition of IEC 60079-10-1 cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2015, and constitutes a technical revision, see foreword for further details.

Explosive atmospheres - Part 13: Equipment protection by pressurized room "p" and artificially ventilated room "v"

IEC 60079-13:2017 gives requirements for the design, construction, assessment, verification and marking of rooms used to protect internal equipment:
– located in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 or Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosive atmosphere without an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by pressurization;
– located in a Zone 2 explosive atmosphere with or without an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by artificial ventilation;
– located in a non-hazardous area, containing an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by artificial ventilation;
– located in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 or Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosive atmosphere containing an internal source of gas/vapour release and protected by both pressurization and artificial ventilation.
The term "room" used in this document includes single rooms, multiple rooms, a complete building or a room contained within a building. A room is intended to facilitate the entry of personnel and includes inlet and outlet ducts. An acoustic hood and other like enclosures designed to permit the entry of personnel can be considered as a room.
This document also includes requirements related safety devices and controls necessary to ensure that artificial ventilation, purging and pressurization is established and maintained.
A room assembled or constructed on site, can be either on land or off-shore. The room is primarily intended for installation by an end-user but could be constructed and assessed at a manufacturer’s facility, where the final construction such as ducting can be completed on site.
This document does not specify the methods that may be required to ensure adequate air quality for personnel with regard to toxicity and temperature within the room. National or other regulations and requirements may exist to ensure the safety of personnel in this regard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) modification of the title of this document to include artificially ventilated room "v" in addition to pressurized room "p";
b) addition of types of protection "pb", "pc", and "vc" and removal of types of protection "px", "py", "pz" and "pv";
c) definition of the differences between pressurization and artificial ventilation types of protection;
d) removal of protection of rooms with an inert gas or a flammable gas from the scope of this document;
e) addition of an informative annex to include examples of applications where types of protection pressurization or artificial ventilation or pressurization and artificial ventilation can be used and associated guidelines.
