Exdbeb flameproof protection directly reduces ignition risk in hazardous zones, enabling safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore installations while supporting regulatory compliance. This protection translates to fewer unscheduled shutdowns and lower insurance costs, improving overall plant uptime. The IE3 Premium Efficiency rating lowers energy consumption, delivering measurable operating-cost savings over the motor’s life and supporting sustainability goals for now and the future. An IP55 enclosure and IMB5/IM3001 mounting provide rugged installation compatible with dirty environments and tight retrofit projects, delivering reliable operation with simplified maintenance and faster commissioning. The 4 kW rating with 8 poles at 500 V suits a wide range of drive requirements, enabling smoother torque characteristics and better process control in S1 duty cycles. Frame 160 and 3GKP164410-BEK compatibility support cost-effective replacements and easier stock management for OEMs. The design emphasizes reliability with bearing configurations 6309/C3 and 40 °C ambient capability, reducing lubrication needs and extending service intervals in high-temperature plants. Originating from Finland (FI), the motor aligns with quality standards and provides traceability for procurement and compliance. Industry benchmarks for energy efficiency and hazardous-area compliance are embedded to help procurement teams justify investment with clear ROI projections.

FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a frame size 160. The termination box is positioned at the top, simplifying wiring and conduit routing in compact plant layouts while enabling straightforward retrofits into existing drill-down installations.
The motor runs at 500 V, 50 Hz, with a 4 kW output and 8 poles. It features IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous areas, along with IE3 efficiency. The designation also specifies a D connection configuration and an insulation class suitable for demanding environments.
Yes. It is rated Exdbeb flameproof with IIB gas group protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous zones. It meets IE3 efficiency requirements and is designed for S1 duty with suitable insulation and mounting. This combination supports compliance in chemical, oil & gas, and mining applications.
The IE3 premium efficiency rating indicates significantly lower running losses compared to IE2 motors, yielding measurable energy savings over the motor’s life. Coupled with reliable Ex protection and low maintenance, customers can expect reduced total cost of ownership and faster payback in continuous or high-cycle processes.
Choose IMB5/IM3001 mounting with frame size 160 to ensure robust coupling and alignment. Maintain ambient temperature around 40 C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensure proper fan cooling and clean interfaces, and use appropriate bearing lubrication intervals for 6309/C3 bearings to maximize service intervals and uptime.
