Flameproof Exde protection provides a robust barrier against ignition sources in hazardous zones, reducing risk and downtime while enabling compliant operation in oil, gas, chemical, and mining environments. Business impact: enhanced safety, lower incident-related costs, and easier regulatory alignment. Application: ideal for installation in Ex-rated areas where reliable startup under load is essential. IE3 premium efficiency supports lower energy consumption and reduces operating costs over the motor’s life cycle. Business impact: substantial savings on electrical bills and improved return on investment for continuous process applications. Application: suitable for pumping, fans, and conveyors in plants targeting energy optimization. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation provide weather and dust protection plus thermal resilience, enabling longer service intervals and predictable performance in harsh factory floors. Business impact: higher uptime, simplified maintenance planning, and extended motor life. Application: outdoor or semi-outdoor installations with demanding ambient conditions. 4 poles with a 55 kW, 500 V, 50 Hz configuration deliver a robust torque profile for heavy-duty loads while keeping mechanical footprint compact. Business impact: reliable torque delivery and compatibility with a broad drive ecosystem. Application: process motors requiring strong starting torque in packaging, material handling, and processing lines. Cast Iron frame, 250 mm size, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and top terminator box location support straightforward installation and durable service in demanding environments. Business impact: rugged construction reduces maintenance cycles and supports long service life. Application: installations with vibration, hot operating environments, or difficult access. Quality and compliance are reinforced by IEC 60034-1 references and Ex-rated protection, ensuring alignment with international standards and safe procurement across multiple regions. Business impact: smoother international sourcing and reduced qualification time for supply chains. Application: global projects requiring standardized, regulator-ready equipment.

FAQs
When planning installation, ensure Exde flameproof protection is maintained by properly sealing cable entries and using an IP55 enclosure in accordance with IEC 60034-1. Use IMB5/IM3001 mounting, a Top Terminator Box configuration, and a 4-pole, 55 kW design to match drive requirements. Verify altitude and ambient limits (up to 1000 m and 40 °C) and apply the D connection configuration as specified by the datasheet. Regularly inspect bearing condition, and integrate with a compatible VFD if speed control is required.
Key performance specs include 55 kW output power, 4 poles, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, IP55 ingress protection, Exdbeb flameproof protection, insulation class ICLF, and frame size 250. It is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for S1 duty, with IE3 premium efficiency and a 100% full-load efficiency around 94.6% at 50 Hz, ensuring strong energy performance in continuous operation.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, gas group IIB rating, and IP55 enclosure are specifically selected for hazardous-area applications such as chemical processing, refining, and upstream oil and gas operations. The motor’s 4-pole, 55 kW configuration delivers reliable torque, while the IE3 efficiency helps reduce energy costs over the asset life. Ensure correct installation per local standards and maintain certification records.
This motor meets IEC 60034-1 standards, provides Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones, carries IP55 protection, and uses IC411 insulation. It has a 4-pole IMB5/IM3001 mounting arrangement and is rated for up to 1000 m altitude at 40 °C ambient. It is manufactured in Finland and aligns with standard electrical equipment classifications, supporting global procurement and compliance programs.
The IE3 efficiency rating reduces energy consumption, delivering lower operating costs over the motor’s life. Cast Iron frame and robust bearings (6315/C3) support long service intervals in harsh environments. Maintenance should prioritize bearing inspection, terminal box access for wiring checks, and adherence to Ex-rated installation practices. With reliable flameproof protection, the motor minimizes unplanned downtime, contributing to faster project payback in hazardous-area processes.
