Flameproof Exd protection combined with Exdb and IP66 enclosure delivers safe operation in hazardous zones, reducing compliance risk and unplanned downtime in mining plants. The IE3 premium efficiency rating lowers energy costs across long-running shifts, improving total cost of ownership while meeting industry sustainability targets. A 55 kW, 6-pole design at 500 V and 50 Hz provides strong torque and reliable starting performance, even at 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperature, minimizing process disruptions. Cast iron frame 280 and bearings 6316/C3 support long service life in dusty, humid environments, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-end top starter box simplify installation, maintenance, and service exchanges. Proven suitability for IMB3/IM1001 mounting schemes makes retrofits and upgrades straightforward in existing mining fleets.

FAQs
The motor uses a D connection and supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting configurations. The end box is located at the D-End top to simplify cabling, and it is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz operation. With a 6-pole, frame 280 design, this model is well-suited for rugged installation in mining environments.
The unit is IE3 premium efficient, delivering 55 kW at 500 V and 50 Hz with a 6-pole configuration. IE3 performance is supported by measured full-load efficiency around 94% at 50 Hz, along with robust starting torque and consistent torque across partial loads. The rating is suitable for continuous S1 duty in demanding conditions.
Yes. The 3GJM283230-AEL is flameproof Exd and explosion-protected (with Exdb protection as applicable), and it features IP66 enclosure for wash-down resistance. Its insulation class ICLF and rugged IMB3/IM1001 mounting support reliable operation in harsh underground mining environments while meeting safety and regulatory requirements.
Key certifications include Exd flameproof protection, Exdb protection, IP66 enclosure, and IE3 efficiency. It complies with mining and hazardous-area requirements, supported by insulation class ICLF and the IMB3/IM1001 mounting standard. Verifying local ATEX/IECEx acceptance and proper installation per D-end top configuration ensures ongoing compliance.
Premium IE3 efficiency reduces energy bills over long-running mining shifts, while robust cast-iron construction and high-precision bearings (6316/C3) lower maintenance frequency and replacement risk. IP66 and Ex-protection minimize downtime from water, dust, or gas exposure, contributing to predictable maintenance planning and a favorable total cost of ownership in capital-intensive mining projects.
