Ex protection and hazardous-area compliance are at the core of this motor, with Exdbeb protection and a rugged IP55 enclosure that guard against dust and moisture in ATEX zones. The business impact is enhanced safety and reduced risk of ignition, enabling uptime in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations where explosive atmospheres can occur. In practice, this means fewer site deviations, faster commissioning, and ongoing regulatory alignment during plant maintenance. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings at both full and partial loads; at 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 91.2%, with even better performance at 75% load (91.7%), translating into lower operating costs and cooler running temperatures in long-running drives. This supports a lower total cost of ownership and better heat management in critical processes. The motor’s IP55 enclosure, ambient rating of 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m ensure dependable performance in rugged plant floors and outdoor installations, reducing the need for premium climate control and enclosure upgrades. Insulation class ICLF and IEC 60034-1 compliance further guarantee safe operation under modest overload and thermal cycling conditions, while a cast-iron frame (160) provides robust mechanical resilience for ongoing duty. The 2-pole, 11 kW rating, and 500 V / 50 Hz input simplify specification across new builds, retrofits, or expansions, with IMB3/IM1001 mounting support reducing installation complexity and enabling straightforward maintenance. Direction of rotation on both sides adds flexibility for conveyors, fans, or pump trains without additional hardware changes. Built to operate in demanding process environments, this motor supports reliable long-term performance with minimal unscheduled downtime.

FAQs

When installing this Ex-rated motor in hazardous areas, ensure Ex protection Exdbeb compliance and IP55 enclosure suitability for the zone. Use the IMB3/IM1001 mounting options and confirm the D connection configuration. The motor is 2-pole, 500 V, 50 Hz, with reversible rotation, and should be mounted for top-terminator box access as per the IM guidelines. Adequate space for ventilation and routine inspection is recommended to maintain IE3 efficiency.
Key specs include an 11 kW output, 2-pole design, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, and IE3 premium efficiency. It features an IP55 enclosure, frame size 160, and a robust cast-iron housing with bearings 6309/C3. The motor is Exdbeb protected for gas group IIB, Insulation Class ICLF, and default mounting options IMB3/IM1001, suitable for continuous S1 duty.
Yes. It is well-suited for hazardous-area applications in chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas environments where flameproof protection is required. Its Exdbeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IE3 efficiency support reliable operation in ATEX zones, while the compact frame and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify integration into conveyors, pumps, fans, and other process equipment.
Verify Ex protection (Exdbeb), Gas Group IIB, IP55, and Insulation Class ICLF. The motor complies with IEC 60034-1 standards and is designed for S1 duty. Additional classifications include UNE/SPSC alignment and WEEE considerations. This combination supports regulatory compliance, safer operations in explosion-risk zones, and easier procurement with clearly defined mounting and enclosure requirements.
The IE3 efficiency rating reduces energy costs, especially on continuous duty, delivering measurable ROI over time. The robust Ex flameproof design reduces downtime due to enclosure or ignition-related failures, while the IMB3/IM1001 mounting and cast-iron frame simplify installation and servicing. Bearings (6309/C3) and IC411 insulation support longer service intervals and stable performance in high-temperature environments.
