Premium IE3 efficiency at 15 kW reduces energy consumption and operating costs for 3-phase motors in continuous-duty pump and fan applications. This translates to lower running temperatures, reduced auxiliary cooling needs, and longer motor life in chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas facilities. Exdbeb and Exde flameproof protection minimizes ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, supporting compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements while enabling safer maintenance windows. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation provide reliable protection against dust and moisture, improving service intervals and asset availability in outdoor or harsh indoor environments. Cast iron frame 160 with a rugged 6309/C3 bearing arrangement supports easy replacement and long-term durability, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies retrofits and new builds. The D connection option, 400 V, 50 Hz input, and 2-pole design align with standard industrial power distribution, reducing wiring errors and installation time. Overall, IEC 60034-1 compliance and Ex protection enable safer operation, predictable maintenance, and strong ROI for hazardous-area automation projects.

FAQs
This motor is designed for Exdbeb and Exde flameproof protection with an IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation. It uses a 2-pole configuration, 400 V at 50 Hz, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Installers should follow ATEX/IECEx guidelines, ensure appropriate clearance, and connect via the D configuration for a compliant hazardous-area drive solution.
The motor delivers 15 kW of output power at 400 V and 50 Hz, with IE3 premium efficiency. It is a 2-pole machine built on a 160 frame and operates in ambient up to 40 °C at elevations up to 1000 m. Protection includes IP55 and Ex-rated flameproof (Exdbeb/Exde) for hazardous environments.
Yes. IMB3/IM1001 mounting ensures standardized alignment with common explosion-protected bases, enabling straightforward retrofits and new installations. The rugged cast-iron frame and top terminator box location further simplify wiring and service access, reducing commissioning time and downtime during upgrades in refinery, chemical, and mining facilities.
Key standards include IEC 60034-1 for general motor performance, IC411 insulation, IP55 protection, IE3 efficiency, and Ex protection ratings Exdbeb and Exde. The motor also supports WEEE considerations and is suitable for ATEX/IECEx regulated environments, aligning with typical hazardous-area procurement requirements.
Expect reduced energy costs from IE3 efficiency, lower maintenance downtime due to robust flameproof protection, and longer service intervals from IP55 and IC411 ratings. For motors running in hazardous areas, the upgrade often leads to faster payback through energy savings, improved uptime, and easier compliance with safety and environmental standards.
