Flameproof Ex db eb protection reduces ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, supporting regulatory compliance and safer operation in petrochemical, mining, and refining environments. With IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, the motor maintains performance in dusty or damp conditions, extending service life and reducing unplanned downtime. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers meaningful energy savings on continuous loads at 50 Hz, lowering operating costs and cooling requirements in compact plant spaces. The 2-pole design, frame size 225, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer ready compatibility with common base plates and third‑party drives, streamlining installation and future upgrades. Top-terminal box location and D connection configuration simplify wiring in new builds or retrofits. Durable bearings (6313/C3, 6312/C3) and Finland-made reliability address common maintenance objections by reducing bearing wear and vibration, even at 40°C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. Overall, the motor supports safer commissioning, faster startup, and predictable lifecycle costs in hazardous-area drives.

FAQs
Install the motor with an Ex-rated enclosure appropriate for the specific hazardous zone, ensuring Ex db eb protection is maintained. Use the IMB5 mounting/IM3001 compatibility, top termination box, and a D connection configuration for wiring. Confirm 500 V, 50 Hz supply, and adhere to ATEX/IECEx regulations. Ensure ambient conditions do not exceed 40°C and altitude remains within 1000 m, maintaining IP55 protection during operation.
The motor provides 45 kW output at 500 V, 50 Hz with a 2-pole design and frame size 225. It meets IE3 premium efficiency standards, with full-load efficiency around 94% at 50 Hz and 100% load, and slightly higher at partial loads. Duty is S1, insulation class IC411, IP55, and Ex db eb flameproof protection suitable for continuous operation in hazardous environments.
Yes. The Ex db eb flameproof protection, gas group IIB rating, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation make it appropriate for hazardous-area drives in petrochemical, oil & gas, and mining applications. Its 2-pole design, frame 225, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting support robust integration with standard drive systems, improving safety and system reliability in Zones I/II and similar environments.
Key standards include IEC 60034-1 for electric motors and Ex protection ratings (Ex db eb) for hazardous areas, along with gas group IIB classification and IP55 ingress protection. The insulation class IC411 and forceful mounting arrangements (IMB5/IM3001) further support compliance with industrial safety requirements. Demonstrating adherence to these certifications helps ensure safe operation, easier regulatory approvals, and smoother installation in regulated facilities.
The motor’s IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption and operating costs over its lifecycle, while robust bearings (6313/C3, 6312/C3) and durable construction minimize maintenance and vibration-related wear. Top-placed terminal box and straightforward wiring simplify commissioning and servicing. Combined with IP55 protection and reliable 2-pole design, this results in reduced downtime, predictable lifecycle costs, and a stronger return on investment for continuous hazardous-area drives.
