Exdb flameproof protection and IIB gas group characterize this motor, delivering intrinsic safety for Zone 1/II installations. The business impact is clear: reduced ignition risk and compliant operation under hydrocarbon loads, translating to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned outages. In practice, you’ll deploy this motor in chemical processing, oil and gas pipelines, and other hazardous environments where a robust, flameproof drive is non‑negotiable. The Exd protection also simplifies maintenance planning by allowing a single stock of parts and standard test routines for inspection during routine route checks. IE4 efficiency drives meaningful energy savings in continuous duty applications, while heat generation stays within safe limits. The result is lower utility bills, cooler equipment, and improved motor life, especially in fans and pumps that run around the clock. Combined with a 4-pole design and 315 frame, this motor matches standard VFDs and control panels for straightforward retrofits. Field engineers also benefit from predictable torque characteristics and reliable starting behavior in variable-load conditions. IP55 protection and an ICFL insulation class protect against dust ingress and harsh conditions, reducing field service intervals. Cast-iron frame delivers mechanical resilience under vibration and high temperatures, giving you longer intervals between replacements in demanding plants. The 1475 mm length and 654 mm width with 929 mm height align with common footprint requirements, while the 1643 kg net weight indicates a robust solution designed for endurance in challenging environments. Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature up to 40 °C ensure consistent performance across sites. Straightforward mounting with a D-End top terminator box location simplifies wiring and maintenance in confined spaces. The 315 frame and 1643 kg net weight imply a heavy‑duty, serviceable package designed for long life in aggressive environments, while the gas‑group IIB classification supports safe operation around hydrocarbon processing equipment. This motor is compatible with standard industrial drives and protective relays, enabling seamless integration into existing automation architectures and preventive maintenance programs.

FAQs
This motor is specifically designed for hazardous zones with Exdb flameproof protection and IIB gas grouping. Plan for ATEX/IECEx compliance, ensure proper electrical clearances, use explosion-protected gland fittings, and mount with the D-End top terminator box orientation to simplify wiring. Verify voltage code D compatibility and confirm the control gear supports IE4 efficiency and 4-pole operation for reliable automatic starts and stops.
IE4 efficiency yields measurable energy savings during continuous duty, while the Exdb flameproof design minimizes ignition risk in Zone 1/II environments. Expect cooler running temperatures, extended motor life, and reduced maintenance intervals when used with standard VFDs and properly rated protective relays, making it well-suited for pumps and fans in hazardous-process facilities.
Yes. The 315 frame and 4-pole configuration are chosen for compatibility with common drivetrains and control panels in chemical, oil & gas, and petrochemical installations. The motor’s heavy-duty cast-iron construction and IP55 protection support rugged operation, while 40 °C ambient tolerance and up to 1000 m altitude ensure reliable performance across remote sites.
Key certifications include Exdb flameproof protection, IECEx/ATEX readiness, IP55 ingress protection, and IE4 efficiency. Also verify gas group IIB compatibility, temperature class T4, and ICFL insulation. Compliance planning should cover maintenance intervals, safe wiring practices, and protective enclosure integrity to minimize downtime and regulatory risk.
Expect lower total cost of ownership due to higher efficiency and robust flameproof construction that reduces unplanned outages. Plan maintenance around standard inspection routines for Ex motors, verify junction box integrity, and monitor bearing condition given the heavy frame. The ROI is driven by energy savings, reduced maintenance frequency, and extended service life in demanding hazardous-area applications.
