FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatible with common base plates and flange patterns in hazardous-area installations. Check frame size 160 and bearing configuration (6309/C3) to ensure alignment with existing couplings and guards. Verify ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude limits around 1000 m, and confirm 2-pole operation at 50 Hz for seamless retrofit.
The motor delivers 18.5 kW of output power with a 2-pole design, operating at 500 V and 50 Hz. It is rated IE3 for premium efficiency and features an IP55 enclosure, which supports reliable performance in dusty or damp hazardous environments while maintaining steady torque and speed control in S1 duty.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB rating are specified for hazardous environments, along with an IP55 enclosure. This combination supports safe operation in Zone 1/II areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, aligning with IEC 60034-1 requirements.
Plan for periodic bearings inspection (6309/C3) and verify alignment and mounting integrity of IMB5/IM3001 installations. The IP55 enclosure minimizes ingress, reducing cleaning needs, while the robust cast-iron frame supports long service life in demanding environments. Regular temperature and vibration checks help sustain performance in hazard-prone facilities.
Energy savings from IE3 efficiency translate to lower running costs in continuous-duty drives, while flameproof protection reduces risk-related downtime and compliance costs in hazardous plants. The combination of robust reliability, easier maintenance, and regulatory alignment supports faster payback in chemical, oil & gas, and mining applications.
