FAQs
The motor is designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and Frame Size 225 with a top terminator box. Ensure mounting surface is flat and clean, align the 4-pole shaft, and secure with anti-vibration mounts. Use the top-entry cable gland path to connect conductors through the D connection configuration, and verify alignment with the equipment’s existing IMB/IM3001 mounting system for a straightforward, vibration-resistant installation.
This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure rating, and IEC 60034-1 compliance. It is rated for gas group IIB and has a temperature class of T4. These certifications ensure safe operation in hazardous atmospheres common to chemical, oil, and mining facilities, while maintaining performance under continuous duty (S1).
At 50 Hz, the motor operates at 500 V with a rated output of 45 kW and 4 poles. It achieves IE3 premium efficiency, with full-load efficiency around 94.2% and higher at 75% and 50% loads, helping reduce energy consumption in continuous-duty applications and lower operating costs over the motor’s life.
Yes. It is designed for hazardous areas with Exdbeb protection and IIB gas group compatibility, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation. The duty is S1 (continuous operation), making it appropriate for demanding continuous-process drives in chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining environments.
The premium IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption for continuous operation, while the robust cast-iron frame and Ex protection minimize maintenance and replacement costs in hazardous zones. Together with reliable IMB5/IM3001 mounting and long service life, this motor lowers total cost of ownership in refineries, chemical plants, and heavy-industry automation projects.
