Exdb flameproof protection mitigates ignition risks in hazardous areas, enabling safe operation in oil, gas, and chemical environments while reducing enclosure requirements and maintenance downtime. This directly lowers risk-related costs and improves compliance status. IE3 efficiency delivers meaningful energy savings at full and partial loads, improving total cost of ownership and supporting sustainability targets. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, enhancing reliability in dusty factory floors and outdoor installations, which translates to longer service intervals and lower lifecycle costs. The rugged cast iron frame and 280 frame size provide structural durability and vibration resistance, supporting longer bearing life and smooth operation under heavy-duty loads. An 8-pole design offers favorable torque characteristics for steady starts and robust running performance, while the D-end top termination box simplifies installation and wiring in limited spaces. The motor’s high-temperature (50 °C) and high-altitude (1000 m) ratings ensure consistent performance in demanding environments, reducing the need for mid-project redesigns and retrofits. Compatibility with IMB5 IM3001 mounting and the 6316/C3 bearing set further enhances reliability in continuous-duty applications like pumps and fans, addressing common objections about long-term maintenance and spare parts availability.

FAQs
This motor features Exdb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous areas. Plan for the D-End top termination box and a 280 frame with a cast-iron housing. Ensure conformity with local ATEX/IECEx rules, verify ambient conditions (50 °C, up to 1000 m altitude), and secure appropriate mounting (IMB5 IM3001) and bearings (6316/C3) for reliable operation.
The motor aligns with IE3 efficiency and offers an 8-pole design for steady torque. It operates under a temperature class T4 with insulation ICLF and IP55 protection. The product supports a range of loads; full-load efficiency is around 92.5%, with 75% load at 92.6% and 50% load at 91.9%, delivering meaningful energy savings in continuous duty applications.
Yes. The Exdb flameproof protection and IIB gas group rating enable safe operation in hazardous zones typical of pumps and fans used in oil, gas, and chemical industries. The 8-pole design provides reliable torque at startup, while the cast-iron frame and IP55 enclosure support long-term reliability in challenging environments.
With a robust 6316/C3 bearing arrangement and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, this motor is designed for heavy-duty, continuous operation. The flameproof Exdb protection reduces enclosure-related maintenance, and the cast-iron frame resists wear and corrosion. Regular inspection of bearings and ventilation, along with periodic lubrication, will maximize service life in demanding installations.
Upgrading to this IE3-rated, Exdb motor lowers energy costs due to high efficiency, reduces downtime via robust IP55 protection, and extends service life with a rugged cast-iron frame. Although initial investment may be higher, the combination of energy savings, reduced maintenance, and reliable performance in hazardous environments yields a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifetime.
