About This Item
IEEE P1349/D7.0, Feb 2021 is a draft technical guide for applying electric machines in Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 hazardous (classified) locations. It addresses how rotating equipment can be selected, installed, and used where flammable gases or vapors may be present only under abnormal conditions. For engineers and specifiers, this draft helps align machine design and application practices with hazardous-area requirements while reducing the risk of unsafe operating conditions.
What is IEEE P1349/D7.0, Feb 2021?
IEEE P1349/D7.0, Feb 2021 is an IEEE draft guide focused on the application of electric machines in hazardous locations classified as Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2. Its technical context is the interaction between machine construction, installation, and environmental conditions that can affect ignition risk. The document is relevant to electrical engineering work involving components, circuits, devices, and systems where equipment must be selected and applied with care to support safety and compliance objectives.
Where is IEEE P1349/D7.0, Feb 2021 used?
This draft is typically used in projects involving motors, generators, and related electric machines installed in industrial areas with intermittent or abnormal gas or vapor exposure. Common applications may include process plants, energy facilities, and other locations where hazardous-area classification drives equipment selection and installation practice. IEEE P1349/D7.0, Feb 2021 is useful during specification review, engineering design, procurement, and site installation when teams need guidance for machines intended for classified environments.
