Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flameproof Exde/Exdbeb protection provides intrinsic safety for hazardous-area installations, reducing risk of ignition and enabling compliance with IIB gas-group environments. This translates to lower insurance costs and fewer design changes on site, particularly in chemical and oil & gas processing plants. Application: chemical processing, oil & gas facilities, mining operations. Feature → IE3 Premium Efficiency drives measurable energy savings, lowering operating costs by improving full-load efficiency to 93.3–94.5% at 100% load across 50/60 Hz, which directly reduces energy bills in constant-speed drives or pump applications. Application: pumps, fans, conveyors in energy-conscious plants. Feature → IP55 enclosure and IMB5/IM3001 mounting support robust external protection and flexible installation, minimizing downtime and simplifying integration with existing plant frames and baseplates. Application: retrofit and new-build projects with challenging ambient conditions. Feature → Cast Iron frame and high-grade bearings (6315/C3, 6313/C3) extend service life in tough environments, lowering maintenance intervals and bearing replacement costs. Application: heavy-duty conveyors, mixers, grinders in demanding OEM environments. Feature → 400 V, 50 Hz, Y-configuration, 6 poles and 37 kW rating provide predictable torque and startup behavior, ensuring smooth process control and compatibility with standard industrial power systems. Application: general-purpose drives for compressors, agitators, and mixers. Feature → Temperature class T4 and ambient 40 °C ratings support reliable performance in warm sites, reducing derating considerations and enabling more compact installation footprints. Application: heat-intensive production lines and remote sites. Feature → 1000 m altitude capability ensures performance remains within spec in elevated plants, avoiding forced motor changes or derating. Application: mining and processing facilities at elevation. Each of these characteristics supports faster commissioning, reduced total cost of ownership, and improved reliability for hazardous-area motor deployments.

FAQs
This motor supports Exde/Exdbeb explosion protection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, with a Y connection and 400 V / 50 Hz supply. Its IP55 enclosure and 6-pole design simplify integration with standard bus bars and robust plant frames, reducing on-site wiring iterations and rework during retrofit projects.
You get 37 kW output with 6 poles, IE3 premium efficiency, and a Full Load efficiency around 93.3–93.5% at 100% load. The motor is designed for S1 duty and maintains performance up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, delivering reliable torque and stable process control.
Yes. It features flameproof Exde/Exdbeb protection, Gas Group IIB, IP55, and compliance with IEC 60034-1. The cast-iron frame and robust bearings are chosen for harsh environments, enabling safer operation in flammable atmospheres and reducing the risk of ignition in critical zones.
Key standards include IEC 60034-1 for electrical performance, IE3 efficiency classification, IP55 for enclosure protection, and hazardous-area certifications (Exde/Exdbeb) with Gas Group IIB. The product supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and complies with typical heavy-industry procurement requirements.
The IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs across continuous-duty drives, while the cast-iron frame and bearings extend service life with fewer replacement intervals. Combined with explosion protection, this minimizes downtime and maintenance overhead in hazardous environments, leading to a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifetime.
