FAQs
Installation should follow the Exdb flameproof requirements, ensuring correct enclosure integrity, sealed conduit entries, and appropriate cable glands. Use the D-end top terminal box for convenient wiring access, verify IP55 seals after mounting, and perform compliance checks with local hazardous-area standards. Proper alignment and torque of mounting bolts are essential to maintain protection rating and ongoing safety.
The motor is a 2-pole, Exdb flameproof unit with IE2 efficiency. Voltage Code D suggests standard regional supply compatibility; verify local voltage and frequency (50/60 Hz) during procurement. It operates under IC411 insulation and offers IP55 protection, designed for continuous S1 duty in challenging environments.
Yes. The Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIB rating make it suitable for hazardous zones found in chemical processing and oil & gas environments. Its S1 duty and robust cast-iron frame support continuous operation, while the flameproof design helps meet stringent regulatory and safety requirements for critical process equipment.
Key compliance features include Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, IE2 efficiency, and Gas Group IIB ratings. Additional environmental compatibility comes from 1000 m altitude tolerance and a 50 °C ambient specification. Always confirm local certification marks and documentation to align with plant-specific regulatory requirements.
The motor’s IE2 efficiency reduces energy costs in continuous operation, while the robust cast-iron frame and sealed bearings extend service life and lower maintenance frequency. EX/IP-rated protection minimizes maintenance interruptions in hazardous environments, delivering faster return on investment through higher uptime, reduced spare-part usage, and fewer unplanned outages.
