4.3 Motor and control equipment shall be suitable to accelerate the driven equipment with an equipment voltage of 80% of the nominal voltage during the reacceleration time after a short power failure for automatic restart of the plant.To ensure an adequate acceleration torque the minimum margin between motor torque and required driven equipment torque shall be under the 80% of the nominal voltage conditions not less than 10% of the required torque.

4.4 The motor connected to the driven equipment shall be suitable for at least 3 starts per hour from zero to full speed in quick succession starting the motor from cold condition and two starts per hour in quick succession under the same conditions after a continuous run of the motor. During above mentioned starts no part of a explosion-protected motor may reach a temperature above the temperature classification stated in the requisition.
