FAQs
This motor supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and uses a Y connection for simplified wiring. The frame size 160, IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection are designed for safe operation in ATEX/IECEx zones. Ensure the base or panel accommodates 8-pole operation at 400 V and consult the 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limits during commissioning.
The motor runs on 400 V, 50 Hz with 8 poles, delivering 5.5 kW of output. It uses a Y connection configuration and is designed for a continuous S1 duty cycle. Its IE3 efficiency class provides reduced energy consumption, making it compatible with standard industrial drives and motor control centers in 400 V power networks.
No, this model is specified as a single-speed motor with continuous S1 duty. If your application requires variable-speed control, you should consider a compatible drive-ready flameproof motor or pair this unit with a suitable VFD, ensuring the VFD and motor protection are rated for hazardous environments and Ex protections.
Industries with hazardous atmospheres such as chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and petrochemical refining benefit most. Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk, IP55 enclosure guards against dust and moisture ingress, and IE3 efficiency supports long-term operating cost reductions, essential for continuous hazardous-area operations.
IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs and reduces thermal stress, while flameproof Exdbeb protection limits ignition risk, improving steady uptime. Cast-iron construction and robust bearings (6309/C3) support long service life in tough environments. Overall, expect lower maintenance frequency, safer operation, and faster payback in capital-intensive hazardous-area facilities.
