About This Item
IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 is a draft guide for applying electric motors in Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2 hazardous locations. It addresses motor selection and installation considerations where flammable gases or vapors may be present under abnormal conditions, making controlled design and careful engineering important. For power, energy, and industrial applications, IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 provides a focused technical reference for reducing ignition risk while supporting practical motor use in classified areas.
About IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011
This draft guide is centered on the application of electric motors in hazardous locations classified as Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2. Its purpose is to help engineers evaluate how motor characteristics, enclosure selection, temperature limits, and installation practices relate to safety expectations in these environments. As a draft IEEE technical document, IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 is useful for understanding the considerations that typically shape compliant motor application in gas-vapor hazardous areas.
Where is IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 used?
IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 is relevant wherever electric motors may operate near process equipment with intermittent exposure to flammable atmospheres. Typical use cases may include pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and other rotating machinery in industrial plants, terminals, and similar facilities. It is especially relevant to engineering teams responsible for specifying motors for classified locations, reviewing installation details, or aligning equipment choices with hazardous-area practices used in power, energy, and general industrial settings.
Importance in practice
In practice, this standard helps support safer motor application decisions in areas where ignition risk must be controlled. It can assist with design review, procurement specifications, and installation planning by clarifying the technical expectations for motors used in Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2 locations. That matters for consistency across projects, better coordination between engineering and operations, and lower risk when selecting equipment for hazardous-area service. IEEE P1349/D9.0, Feb 2011 is also a useful reference when comparing proposed motor solutions.
