Flameproof Exde protection paired with Exdbeb ensures safe operation in hazardous environments, reducing personnel risk and regulatory exposure while enabling compliant installations in ATEX/IECEx zones. This translates to lower incident costs and longer asset life in refineries, chemical plants, and mining sites. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers measurable energy savings during continuous S1 operation, reducing total ownership cost and extending motor life under high-load conditions. With IP55 protection and a robust cast-iron frame, the motor withstands dust ingress and harsh environments, minimizing downtime and maintenance in space-constrained layouts that require IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The 37 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz supports demanding process drives, such as conveyors or pumps, while the Delta connection option (D) simplifies integration with existing switchgear. Industry-ready insulation (IC164/IC411) and T4 temperature class further assure reliability at 40 °C ambient, up to 1000 m altitude, and in continuous operation. Finland-made quality and frame size 250 provide consistent spare parts and serviceability across global projects, improving procurement confidence and lifecycle value.

FAQs
For installation, use Delta connection (D) with 500 V supply at 50 Hz, and select frame size 250 with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Ensure IP55 enclosure integrity and Exde flameproof protection for hazardous zones. The top terminator box location simplifies wiring in compact spaces, while verifying compliance with Ex protections and IECEx/ATEX requirements.
IE3 efficiency reduces electrical losses, delivering lower energy bills during continuous S1 duty. In typical 37 kW applications at 50 Hz, this translates to meaningful annual energy savings, contributing to a faster return on investment. The motor’s design maintains high efficiency across partial loads (75% and 50%), supporting reliable operation in hazardous area drives.
Yes. The motor features Exde flameproof protection with Exdbeb classification, IP55 ingress protection, and a flameproof design tailored for ATEX and IECEx zones. It is rated for Gas Group IIB and available with IC411 insulation, ensuring safe operation in demanding chemical, oil, and mining applications.
The KEMA-grade 250 frame, cast iron construction, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility provide robust mechanical support. A top terminator box location simplifies wiring, while a 6-pole design and Delta connection ease integration with existing drive systems. Availability in Finland supports standardized spare parts and reliable service worldwide.
Key standards include IEC 60034-1, IC411 insulation, and IP55 protection. The Exde flameproof rating, Exdbeb classification, and Gas Group IIB certify suitability for hazardous environments.
