FAQs
Plan for an Exdbeb flameproof installation in gas-group IIB environments, with IP55 protection and cast-iron frame. Use IMB5/IM3001 mounting and Y-connection wiring. Ensure compatibility with local ATEX/IECEx requirements, allow adequate clearance for cooling, and coordinate with existing VFDs or soft starters for smooth start-up in hazardous zones.
IE3 is designed for premium efficiency, delivering Full Load efficiency around 93.7% at 50 Hz and about 94.0% at 60 Hz. These values translate into meaningful energy savings over the motor’s lifetime, especially in continuous or high-duty-cycle processes, reducing electricity bills and contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for gas group IIB, with an IP55 enclosure that protects against dust and water ingress. This combination supports safe operation in hazardous zones while aligning with international standards and customer compliance programs.
The motor is rated for 500 V at 50 Hz, configured in a 3-phase Y connection. It has a continuous S1 duty cycle, making it suitable for steady-state operation in demanding processing lines and constant-speed applications.
Expect regular inspections of bearings (6312/C3), seals, and mounting hardware. The cast-iron frame and IP55 enclosure tolerate harsh environments, while Exdbeb protection reduces risk in hazardous areas. Adhere to manufacturer service intervals, monitor temperature class (T4) and insulation (ICLF), and ensure mounting remains aligned with IMB5/IM3001 standards for longevity.
