Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flameproof Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk in Zone 1/II environments, enabling compliant operation around flammable substances; equipment uptime improves as protective features reduce shutdowns due to faults or recalls. This supports continuous process control in chemical plants and oil & gas facilities, where reliability is non‑negotiable. Feature → IE3 premium efficiency improves energy consumption by reducing line losses and heat, translating to lower operating costs and cooler motor housing; ideal for continuous duty on conveyors or pumps in mining operations. Feature → 22 kW, 6-pole design delivers robust torque at 50 Hz with a compact frame; suitable for moderate-load fans, pumps, and grinders in hazardous zones where space is constrained. Feature → IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation ensure dust and water ingress protection plus thermal stability, improving maintenance intervals; installation at altitudes up to 1000 m with ambient temperatures up to 40 °C is straightforward for many plants. Feature → Y‑connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplify electrical wiring and mechanical mounting, reducing installation time and risk during retrofits in existing lines. Feature → Cast Iron frame offers durability in harsh environments, delivering long service life and lower replacement costs for heavy‑duty drives in process industries. Feature → Frame Size 200 and designed weight balance optimize transport and handling on site, minimizing commissioning time and forklift requirements. Feature → Ex protection and gas group IIB compliance align with local regulations and insurance requirements, easing procurement and commissioning with regulatory confidence. Feature → 3‑phase squirrel cage motor construction provides straightforward maintenance and compatibility with standard VFDs, enabling precise process control and energy optimization across a broad range of applications.
