Abstract
According to the provisions of the 5th edition of the standard IEC 60079 – 7, equipment protection by increased safety “e”, for Level of protection “eb” and “ec” electrical machines, if the rated voltage exceeds 1 kV, type tests in explosive mixtures have to be carried out, in order to certify such an electrical machine. The purpose of this paper is to provide some considerations regarding the impulse ignition test for level of protection “eb” and ignition test for levels of protection “eb” and “ec” stator insulation systems of explosion proof electric motors and also to present a case study regarding such tests conducted in the specialized laboratory of INSEMEX Petrosani, on a stator insulation winding system of a 6 kV electric motor type of protection Ex eb IIC Gb, case study which will assist manufacturers in designing appropriate stator winding insulation systems for increased safety type of protection electric motors.
