F-35

Ex-e protection operating mode

SEW Eurodrive · MCBSM

What does F-35 mean?

An incorrect operating mode or parameter set has been selected for an Ex-e motor application, or the frequency points or current limits are improperly configured. This fault is crucial for maintaining safety with explosion-protected motors, preventing operation under non-compliant or potentially hazardous conditions.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Ensure only permitted operating modes (V/f, VFC, VFC hoist) are selected for Ex-e motors, avoiding non-permitted functions like flying start or DC braking.

  2. 2

    Verify that only parameter set 1 is used for Ex-e protection, and that an Ex-e motor is correctly configured and in operation.

  3. 3

    Correct the parameterized frequency points (Frequency A < B, Frequency B < C) and current limits (Current limit A < B, Current limit B < C) according to the Ex-e motor specifications.
