Low voltage motors for hazardous areas
| ABB LV Motors
Worldwide network of authorized
hazardous area service facilities
Servicing hazardous area motors is a specialized task
because the motors must continue to meet rigorous safety
requirements when they are returned into use. This means
that service personnel must be thoroughly trained, and both
the personnel and premises must be audited and certified.
As part of its commitment to safety, ABB has built up a network
of authorized service facilities. It has its own qualification
program to ensure that hazardous area service facilities meet
strict acceptance criteria, and ABB was the first motor
manufacturer to receive IEC certification for its program.
This means that ABB can issue certificates of authorization
to hazardous area workshops that comply with the qualification
program, which includes the requirements of IEC 60079-19
(Ex equipment repair, overhaul and reclamation). The certificate
confirms that the facility has been audited by ABB and that
ABB motors repaired or overhauled there are safe and their
original ABB declaration of conformity remains valid.
