FAQs
This motor uses Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB zones, with an IP55 enclosure and IMB3/IM1001 mounting on a 160 frame. Plan for a top-mounted terminal box, D-connection, and 500 V 50 Hz supply. Account for 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude; ensure compliant cable glands and proper grounding for hazardous areas.
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 11 kW with six poles in a frame 160, designed for IE3 premium efficiency. Full-load efficiency is about 90.3% at 100% load, with ~90.4% at 75% and 89.1% at 50% load. It features IP55, IC411 insulation, and Ex protection for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Yes. It is rated Exdbeb for IIB gas groups, has IP55 protection, and is built as a flameproof Exde motor suitable for hazardous zones. Coupled with 11 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, it is well-suited for pumps, fans, and conveyors in chemical, refining, or similar industries needing robust safety compliance.
The motor complies with IEC 60034-1 and uses IC411 insulation alongside IP55 and Ex-protection. It supports IMB3 IM1001 mounting configurations, with a 6-pole, 11 kW design intended for 500 V supply, making it compatible with standard facility electrical systems and hazard-area installation practices.
Premium IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor’s life, while the flameproof enclosure and cast-iron frame minimize unplanned downtime in hazardous environments. The robust mounting options and standard mounting footprint simplify service, replacements, and upgrades, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in long-running process lines.
