1 Motor-protective system ZEV
Preface In addition to the degree of protection specified in the
standards EN 60079-14 and VDE 0165 Part 1, further
provisions have been made to ensure safety from ignition for
motors operated in potentially explosive atmospheres. EN
50019 prescribes additional measures to be taken for the
operation motors with "increased safety" type of protection
"e". These measures improve the degree of safety and
prevent impermissible high temperature and development of
sparking and arcing, which is usually not found when motors
are operated under normal conditions. The motor protective
devices used for this are operated outside of the EEx e area
and must be certified by an accredited certification authority.
The guidelines on the application of Directive 94/9/EC
(ATEX 100a) on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States concerning equipment and protective
systems intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres will be enforced as of 06.30.2003.
The motor-protective system ZEV is approved by the PTB
according the 94/9/EC (ATEX 100a) Directives.
hNumber of the EU Certificate of Compliance:
PTB 01 ATEX 3233.

Unit description Current monitoring sensors
The ZEV series of electronic motor-protective relays belongs
to the family of current-sensing protective devices, same as
the motor-protective relays operating on a bimetallic release
principle.
The ZEV monitors the motor current by means of separate
sensors, which cover the current range from 1 to 820 A.
Table 1: Current sensor operating ranges
Setting of the tripping CLASS
The system is suitable for standard and heavy startup
operation. The tripping characteristics are selected by means
of the CLASS settings. These are:
• CLASS 5 = for easy starting conditions,
• CLASS 10 = for standard starting conditions,
• CLASS 15 to CLASS 40 = for heavy to severe starting
conditions.
The switchgear is designed for standard and overload
operation of the CLASS 10. To avoid thermal overload of
switchgear under severe starting conditions, the rated
operational current Ie CLASS of the switchgear must be
reduced according to the CLASS setting on the ZEV. The
rated operational current Ie CLASS can be calculated based on
the reducing factors listed in Table 2 , Page 9.

The contacts 95-96 and 97-98 are switched over in the event
of an overload tripping (afig. 6 on Page 16).
After overload tripping and before restarting the unit, its
recovery time as determined by the CLASS settings shown in
Table 3 must be maintained.

Thermistor monitoring
The ZEV is not only suitable for direct, but also for indirect
temperature monitoring by means of thermistors. For this, a
thermistor is connected to input T1-T2 that is bridged by
default (asection “Thermistor protection”, Page 11).
The contacts 95-96 and 97-98 change over when the
thermistor monitor trips the device (afig. 4 on Page 11).

10/06 AWB2300-1433GB
Thermistor protection
Full motor protection can be achieved by connecting up to
six DIN 44081 and DIN 44082 PTC temperature probes with
a resistance of RK F250 Oto the terminals T1-T2.

The ZEV trips at R= 3200 Og15 % and resets at
R= 1500 O+10 %. The contacts 9596 and 9798 change
over when the unit is tripped by the signal at the thermistor
input. The thermistor tripping circuit can also be assigned to
switch over one of the contacts 05-06 or 07-08, in order to
provide a distinguished tripping indication (afig. 7,
Page 18).

Short-circuit monitoring of the thermistor circuit
A current monitor can be installed in the thermistor circuit,
in order to monitor the current high limit and short-circuit as
shown in the following circuit diagram.
hHazard due to sensor failure is also excluded when the
temperature is being monitored by means of thermistors,
since this circuit switches off the unit instantaneously.
Warning!
Response of the thermistor monitoring unit must also
directly shut down a motor that is controlled by means of
an inverter. Appropriate provisions must be made in the
circuit.

Caution!
The maximum short-circuit current at the thermistor input
is 2.5 mA.

Phase failure
In the event of a phase failure, i.e. with an imbalance of
f50 %, the unit is tripped within a delay time of
2.5 seconds g20 %.
Earth fault monitoring
In addition to standard motor-protective functions, such as
the protection from overload or phase failure and imbalance,
the device is also equipped with a thermistor input for direct
temperature monitoring and with the option of monitoring
earth faults via an auxiliary core-balance transformers.
Table 4: Core-balance transformers for earth fault monitoring
In addition to the message shown on the display of the ZEV
(afig. 30 on Page 31), the "earth fault" signal can also be
used to switch over one of the contacts 05-06 or 07-08
(afig. 7 on Page 18).

2 Configuration
Monitoring overload of
motors in the EEx e area
The "EEx e" degree of protection for motors is achieved by
means of special constructive measures. The motors are
assigned to temperature classes based on the maximum
permitted surface temperatures. The temperature rise time tE
and the ratio between the startup current and rated current
IA/INare calculated in addition and specified on the rating
plate of the motor.
The temperature rise time tErepresents the it takes the
temperature of the motor winding to rise from the final rated
operational temperature up to the limit temperature, at a
startup current of IA.
However, since EEx e motors are not intrinsically safe,
explosion safety can only achieved by taking additional
measures during installation and by selecting appropriate
operating conditions (PTB testing regulations), e.g. by
adding a correctly rated and set overload protection to the
circuit.
Setup of the overcurrent
protection system
Warning!
The selected overload protection system must not only
ensure proper monitoring of the motor current, but also
that the seized motor is switched off within the
temperature rise time tE. This means, that the protective
device must be rated in such a way, so as to ensure that
the tripping time tAfor the ratio IA/INof the EEx e motor is
not higher than its temperature rise time tE, according to
its characteristics curve, in order to safely switch off the
motor within that period (a following example).

Example: IA/IN= 6, tE= 18 s

The motor is safely protected with the tripping classes CLASS
5, 10 and 15.
Approvals The motor-protective system ZEV is compliant with
IEC/EN 60947 regulations for low-voltage switchgear and
EN and fulfils the requirements of the 94/9/EC (ATEX 100a)
directives for the protection of motors operated in EEx e
areas.
The system is approved by UL and CSA for the USA and
Canada.
