Flameproof Exde protection with IP55 enclosure is the core feature, delivering enhanced safety in hazardous environments. This directly reduces regulatory risk and downtime by preventing ignition paths even under tough operation. Typical applications include oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and mining operations where explosive atmospheres are present. IE3 Premium Efficiency lowers energy consumption at full load, translating into meaningful operating cost reductions over the motor’s life and improving ROI on long-running processes such as pumps and fans. The 400 V, 50 Hz input with a 4-pole design provides reliable performance in standard electrical networks, enabling straightforward integration with existing VFDs and soft starters for smooth starts and reduced electrical stress. IMB3/IM1001 mounting and IC411 insulation simplify installation, service access, and lifecycle maintenance in harsh plants. Heavy-duty cast-iron frame and robust bearings (63xx/C3 series) ensure durability in demanding environments, while the Ex protection and gas group IIB ratings support compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Designed to operate up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, the motor maintains consistent torque and efficiency in challenging sites, supporting long-term reliability, easier spare-part provisioning, and predictable maintenance planning.

FAQs
This motor is designed for a 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply and uses a D connection configuration. It employs IMB3 IM1001 mounting for reliable installation in hazardous-area locations. The compatibility with standard 4-pole, 250-frame configurations ensures straightforward swap-ins for legacy 3KP/IMB motors, minimizing downtime during upfits or plant expansions.
The unit delivers 55 kW of output power with IE3 premium efficiency. It operates at 400 V and 50 Hz in a 4-pole configuration, providing strong torque characteristics and reliable full-load performance under S1 duty. The motor features IP55 protection and an Exde flameproof enclosure suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Yes. The motor incorporates Exde flameproof protection with Exdbeb protection and is rated for gas group IIB, enabling use in hazardous zones. It also carries IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, aligning with IEC and international standards for safe operation in explosive atmospheres.
Plan for periodic inspection of bearing assemblies (6315/C3 and 6313/C3 as listed) and verify IMB3/IM1001 mounting integrity. Given its heavy weight (net about 494 kg), ensure proper lifting and alignment procedures. Since the motor is flameproof and IP55, avoid impact or enclosure damage, and schedule routine checks for Ex-rated components to sustain compliance.
The 55 kW IE3 motor reduces energy consumption and operational costs over the life of the equipment, delivering energy savings in pump and fan-driven processes at 50 Hz. Combined with robust Ex protection, long bearing life, and reliable performance under harsh ambient conditions, this motor lowers maintenance intervals and spare-parts costs, improving total cost of ownership and plant uptime in downstream oil & gas or chemical processing facilities.
