Flameproof protection is engineered to meet Exdbeb and Exde classifications, reducing the risk of ignition in hazardous environments while enabling compliant operation. This directly translates to safer equipment commissioning and lower insurance costs for plants operating in explosion-risk zones. The motor’s IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings during continuous S1 operation, improving total cost of ownership and reducing CO2 footprint. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and moisture, improving reliability in tough industrial settings and supporting longer maintenance intervals. A 2-pole, 50 Hz design with a 500 V input and 55 kW output provides robust torque characteristics for demanding loads, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies installation and future retrofits. Cast iron frame, high-capacity bearings (6315/C3, 6313/C3), and ICFL insulation ensure durability under 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. These features collectively address common objections about flameproof motors—cost, complexity, and downtime—by delivering straightforward installation, long service life, and predictable performance in chemical, oil & gas, and mining sectors.

FAQs
Installers should plan for Ex-protected wiring, use IMB3/IM1001 mounting, ensure proper enclosure sealing for IP55, and follow IEC 60034-1 guidelines. The motor’s Exdbeb/Exde protection and 500 V supply require compliant cabling and rated connectors suitable for hazardous zones.
The unit delivers 55 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz with a 2-pole configuration, IP55 enclosure, and IE3 efficiency. It is designed for S1 duty with a Frame Size 250 and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, suitable for continuous operation in harsh environments.
Yes. It features Ex protection (Exdbeb and Exde configuration) suitable for hazardous area installations. The motor also complies with IEC 60034-1 and offers IP55 ingress protection, making it appropriate for explosion-prone facilities in oil & gas, chemical, and mining sectors.
IMB3 mounting supports robust, vibration-tolerant installations. Regular bearing checks (6315/C3 and 6313/C3) and insulation health monitoring are advised, especially under 40 °C ambient temperatures and up to 1000 m altitude. Top-terminator box placement simplifies wiring and serviceability.
IE3 efficiency reduces running energy costs during continuous operation, delivering faster payback in chemical, oil & gas, and mineral processing plants. When combined with reliable Ex protection and durable construction, this motor lowers maintenance downtime and extends service life, improving overall return on investment for hazardous-area drive systems.
