Flameproof Exdbeb protection reduces ignition risk in IIB environments, helping facilities meet ATEX/IECEx requirements and minimize shutdowns. This design translates into safer operation and lower insurance costs, especially in chemical plants and oil & gas sites. IE3 premium efficiency delivers tangible energy savings across continuous S1 loads, reducing annual electricity spend and cooling loads in large fans and pumps. The IP55 enclosure, cast iron frame, and 200 mm tall frame enable reliable installation in rugged environments, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting provides straightforward retrofits and consistent alignment with existing VFDs and controls. The motor’s 6-pole, 22 kW, 500 V, 50 Hz specification supports stable torque across varied load profiles, improving process control and machine uptime. With top-term terminal box and high-quality bearings (6312/C3), maintenance intervals extend and service life improves under harsh conditions.

FAQs
For safe and compliant installation, verify Ex protection (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure, ensure the motor is mounted on IMB5/IM3001 suitable frames, and position the top-mounted terminator box for easy field wiring. Use shielded cables rated for 500 V and keep within 40 °C ambient limits at up to 1000 m altitude.
This motor operates at 50 Hz with a 500 V supply, delivering 22 kW output and six poles for stable torque. Connection configuration is D, insulation class is ICLF, and it supports IE3 efficiency. Designed for S1 duty, it pairs with standard 3-phase drives and variable speed drives where safe operation in hazardous areas is required.
Yes. The Exdbeb explosion protection, gas group IIB, and IP55 enclosure support ATEX/IECEx compliance in hazardous zones. The insulation class IC411 and robust mechanical design further ensure safe operation under demanding conditions such as oil, gas, and chemical processing.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy usage, cooling demands, and associated wear, supporting longer bearing life and less motor heat in continuous-duty applications. The rugged cast-iron frame, 6312/C3 bearings, and top-terminal box simplify service access, while the IMB5/IM3001 mounting aids consistent belt and coupling alignment.
The upgrade offers lower electricity costs due to IE3 efficiency, reduced downtime from certified flameproof protection, and simpler maintenance with durable bearings and a robust cast-iron frame. In chemical, oil & gas, and mining operations, the combination of safety and energy savings typically yields a favorable payback period and improved process uptime.
