Feature → Business Impact → Application: Exdb flameproof protection provides enhanced safety and regulatory compliance in hazardous-area installations, reducing risk of ignition and downtime in chemical plants, refineries, and off-shore facilities. This enables reliable continuous operation under ATEX/IECEx frameworks while meeting IP55 enclosure requirements, essential for dusty or wash-down environments. Application-wise, the motor supports safe commissioning, allowed maintenance windows, and reduced incident exposure during routine servicing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE4 efficiency with Full Load 96.8% (50 Hz) / 97.1% (60 Hz) improves energy intensity by lowering running costs across high-load cycles, translating to measurable payback on energy-intensive pumps and fans in oil, gas, and water treatment plants. This efficiency also helps with utility rebates and sustainability reporting, making it attractive for OEMs and end users aiming for greener operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 315 frame size in cast iron provides a rugged, heat-dissipating footprint that suits heavy-duty applications with limited service intervals, such as mill drives, mixers, and crushers. The durable housing minimizes maintenance and extends service life in demanding environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 6-pole configuration delivers strong starting torque and reliable full-speed operation at standard industrial frequencies, enabling precise process control in conveyors, extruders, and metal-forming lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient ratings ensure consistent performance in geographically diverse sites, reducing the need for site-specific motor changes and simplifying cross-site procurement for multinational projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation class provide a robust solution for explosive atmospheres, meeting essential standards for gas groups IIB and flameproof equipment in petrochemical and mining environments, improving commissioning confidence and long-term safety. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and D-End top termination box location streamline retrofit and new installs, reducing installation time and sparing expensive modification work in existing plant floors, especially during capacity expansions or line upgrades.

FAQs
This motor uses Exdb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure, designed for ATEX/IECEx zones. Install with D-End top termination and IMB5 IM3001 mounting for straightforward retrofits. Ensure compliant wiring methods, suitable cable glands, and proper enclosure integrity testing after installation. Verify proximity to heat sources and maintain clearance for cooling in confined spaces.
IE4 efficiency means higher motor efficiency at full and partial loads, reducing energy consumption during continuous operations. In high-demand applications like pumps or conveyors, the savings accumulate over time, improving total cost of ownership and supporting sustainability targets while keeping performance within S1 duty requirements.
Yes. The unit is rated for altitude up to 1000 meters and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, making it adaptable for diverse geographic locations. This reduces the need for site-specific motor variants and simplifies procurement for multinational projects with varied climates.
It includes Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation with IE4 efficiency. Gas group IIB rating indicates suitability for hazardous environments. These certifications support compliance with ATEX/IECEx, enabling safer operation in chemical, petrochemical, and mining facilities.
The combination of Exdb protection, rugged cast-iron construction, and high IE4 efficiency yields lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime due to fewer faults in harsh environments. While initial costs may be higher than standard motors, the long-term energy savings, extended service life, and simplified installation contribute to a favorable return on investment for hazardous-area projects.
