Exd flameproof protection with IP66 enclosure provides enhanced safety and wash-down resilience, reducing regulatory risk and downtime in explosive atmospheres. This combination translates to lower total cost of ownership in mining and heavy industries where containment and ingress protection are non-negotiable. The IE2 efficiency class lowers operating energy costs over the motor’s lifecycle, while the 2-pole design supports reliable, steady torque for continuous S1 duty in primary material handling scenarios. A cast iron frame (280) and bearing 6316/C3 deliver rugged durability and excellent load tolerance, extending bearing life in dusty, ore-rich environments. With a top-terminal box location and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, installation and future servicing are faster and safer in confined spaces. Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient up to 40 °C ensure suitability across diverse mine sites, including high-altitude operations. This motor’s Exdb flameproof rating and IP66 rating align with ATEX/IECEx expectations, helping you maintain compliance while maximizing uptime. Robust construction and precise engineering support long-term reliability, enabling predictable maintenance planning and improved asset management in your operations.

FAQs
Yes. The motor uses a 280 frame with standard foot mounting and a top-terminator box, designed for straightforward integration with industrial bases. It is a single-speed, 2-pole unit intended for S1 duty and can be paired with appropriately rated VFDs for safe, flameproof operation in Exd installations. Always verify drive compatibility with ATEX/IECEx wiring guidelines and ensure enclosure integrity during wiring and commissioning.
Expect IE2 energy efficiency with a 2-pole, single-speed design delivering stable full-load performance. The motor is rated for 95.1% full-load efficiency at 100% load and similar efficiency at partial loads (75% and 50%), according to IE2 data. It supports operation up to 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, with IP66 ingress protection and Exd flameproof protection for reliable mining service.
Yes. The motor features Exd flameproof protection (Exdb), IP66 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation with IE2 efficiency. These certifications align with ATEX/IECEx requirements for mining and other hazardous applications, ensuring compliance, safe maintenance, and reliable operation in explosive atmospheres and wash-down environments.
Plan for periodic inspection of bearings (6316/C3) and IMB5 IM3001 mounting integrity, given the 744 kg net weight and 764 kg gross weight. The top-terminator box simplifies wiring checks during service. Regular washing-down and temperature monitoring are advised to preserve IP66 protection and insulation performance, especially in dusty, humid mine settings.
The Exd flameproof design reduces safety risks and compliance costs, while IE2 efficiency lowers energy consumption in continuous duty applications. The robust cast iron frame, long-bearing life, and simple installation shorten downtime and maintenance windows. For mining and metals processing, this translates to lower total cost of ownership, predictable maintenance planning, and improved asset uptime.
