Exdbeb flameproof protection combined with IP55 enclosure reduces ignition risk and dust ingress in hazardous area motor applications. This delivers lower compliance risk and extended service life in oil & gas, chemical, and mining facilities, while the IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installs. The IE3 premium efficiency rating provides tangible energy-cost savings, with full-load efficiency at 50 Hz around 91.9% and better partial-load performance, enabling lower heat generation and improved drive control when paired with variable frequency drives. The 15 kW output, 2-pole design, 400 V supply, and frame size 160 suit compact footprints and standard control cabinets, reducing integration time. Cast iron frame and 6309/C3 bearings deliver durability in tough environments, while the top terminator box location eases wiring and service access. Altitude, ambient temperature, and insulation class data support reliable operation in 1000 m and 40 °C conditions with IC411 insulation and T4 class. Overall, the motor supports safer installations, reduced maintenance, and improved uptime in hazardous-area processes such as chemical processing, mining, and power generation.
