Flameproof Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk in hazardous atmospheres, enabling safer operation in oil, gas, and chemical processing environments while supporting compliant installations. This translates to reduced risk exposure and streamlined regulatory audits. IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy consumption and operating costs on continuous runs, delivering measurable ROI for pumps, fans, and compressor drives. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and moisture ingress, lowering maintenance cycles and service downtime in dusty plants or outdoor installations. The cast iron frame size 160 with IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides robust mechanical rigidity and fast, predictable installation across new builds or retrofits. Electrical compatibility with 500 V, 50 Hz supply and D connection supports flexible, scalable integration in multi-vendor plants. The design meets IEC 60034-1 standards and IS/EM hazard area requirements while offering reliable performance at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, ensuring long service life in demanding environments.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the installation site is classified for EX environments and that an Exdbeb flameproof motor is suitable for the atmosphere. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting, connect via the D configuration, and ensure IP55 protection is maintained. Verify ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C and altitude remains within 1000 m. Follow the manufacturer’s torque specs for frame 160 components and complete all protective earthing/bonding requirements per IEC 60034-1 guidance.
The motor delivers 11 kW output at 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration. It operates at 500 V with an IE3 premium efficiency rating, and features a 160 frame, IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones. Duty is S1, and the unit is designed for steady-state operation in demanding environments while maintaining reliable torque delivery and efficiency improvements over IE2 equivalents.
Yes. The motor’s Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIB rating make it suitable for hazardous locations common in oil & gas and chemical processing. Its 500 V/50 Hz electrical profile, robust cast-iron frame, and IMB3 mounting support reliable, long-life operation in complex plants, with compliance to IEC 60034-1 standards and hazardous-area requirements.
Key certifications include IEC 60034-1 for general motor standards, Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous environments, IP55 enclosure rating, and insulation class ICLF. The motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting and supports S1 duty. It also aligns with standard electrical documentation such as 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, and international marking like IEC 60034-1.
The IE3 premium efficiency design reduces running energy costs over older IE2 or IE1 motors, yielding noticeable savings on continuous-duty drives such as pumps and fans. The flameproof construction and IP55 enclosure lower maintenance intervals by protecting critical components from dust, moisture, and corrosive environments. Cast-iron framing and robust bearings (6309/C3) support longer service life with reduced replacement cycles in harsh plants.
