at
j.haasz@ieee.org
no later than 02 June 2005.
Please visit our website, IEEE Standards Development Online
(
http://standards.ieee.org/resources/development/index.html
), for tools, forms and
training to assist you in the standards development process. Also, we strongly
recommend that a copy of your draft be sent to this office for review prior to the final
vote by the working group to allow for a quick review by editorial staff before sponsor
balloting begins.

Target Extension Request Information for a Modified PAR whose completion date is
being extended past the original four-year life of the PAR:

13. Scope of Proposed Project:

Three-phase and single-phase AC synchronous and induction electric motors in fractional ratings
0.18 kW (1/4 hp) and larger are covered in this Guide. Primary emphasis is on the use of open or
nonexplosionproof or nonflameproof enclosed motors in Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2
locations as covered in NFPA 70-2005. Precautions against excessive surface temperatures and
sparking of rotor bars and enclosure joints are also covered. This document also provides
guidance for maintaining the life-cycle integrity of motors in Class I, Division 2 and Class I,
Zone 2 locations as covered in NFPA 70-2005. This Guide does not cover AC wound rotor
motors and DC electric motors. Motors installed in locations other than Class I, Division 2 and
Class I, Zone 2 as covered in NFPA 70-2005 are not covered in this Guide. This document is not
a specification and is not intended to be used as a specification for purchasing motors. The
voltage breaks in this document are 1000 V and less, and over 1000 V.

Is the completion of this document contingent upon the completion of another document?
No
14. Purpose of Proposed Project:

Existing codes and standards contain cautionary notes for open or nonexplosionproof or
nonflameproof enclosed motors in Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2 locations as covered in
NFPA 70-2005. This Guide documents industry experience and established practices and
provides guidance for applying motors in these locations.
15. Reason for the Proposed Project:

The existing Guide should be updated in general which will include up-to-date application
practices, update reference standards, add Class I, Zone 2 to the Scope, expand the information
on adjustable speed drive applications, include new motor data, and bring the entire document up
to current standards. This information will mainly be used in the petrochemical industry by users,
manufacturers, and designers for applying motors in hazardous locations.

20. Sponsor Information
a. Is the scope of this project within the approved/scope/definition of the Sponsor's
Charter? Yes
If no, please explain:
b. The Sponsor's procedures have been accepted by the IEEE-SA Standards Board Audit
Committee? Yes
21. Additional Explanatory Notes: (Item Number and Explanation)

The Scope of the PAR for the revised Guide sets size limits, adds Class I, Zone 2 to the Scope,
and specifically references NFPA 70-2005, National Electrical Code. The term "general-purpose"
was replaced with the more specific terms used in NFPA 70-2005 for the same type of motors,
more specifically referred to as "open or nonexplosionproof " in Division 2 {NEC Section
501.8(B)}and "nonflameproof " in Zone 2 locations {NEC Section 505.20(C) Exception No. 4}.
It does not change the Scope or Purpose, just the preferred terms. "This guide is not a
specification and is not intended to be used as a specification for purchasing motors." was moved
to the Scope section because it is more of a Scope type statement than Purpose.
