Feature: Flameproof Exde and Exdbeb protection is integrated into the M3KP IE3 flameproof motor family, meeting rigorous explosion-protection standards. Business Impact: this level of safety reduces ignition risk in hazardous zones, helps pass compliance audits, and minimizes downtime due to spurious alarms. Application: suitable for chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities where ignition hazards must be controlled and worker safety is paramount. Feature: IE3 Premium Efficiency at 50 Hz delivers solid energy savings through high-efficiency operation at full and partial loads, reducing energy bills and cooling requirements across production runs. Business Impact: lower total cost of ownership and improved power factor contribute to a shorter payback period. Application: process lines and drives where continuous duty and energy costs are a concern, especially in continuous manufacturing. Feature: Robust mechanical design with a cast iron frame, IP55 enclosure, and IMB5/IM3001 compatibility delivers durable performance in tough environments. Business Impact: extended service life, fewer unscheduled outages, and simplified procurement with common mounting standards. Application: mining, steel mills, and chemical plants where vibration and dust are present. Feature: Electrical compatibility and installation ease—500 V, 50 Hz operation with D connection and a top terminator box streamline wiring and commissioning. Business Impact: faster installation, reduced wiring errors, and easier field service with standard components. Application: new builds and plant refurbishments where modular, reliable electrics matter. Feature: Environmental and dimensional resilience—design supports 40 °C ambient, up to 1000 m altitude, frame size 250, net weight 512 kg, IP55 protection. Business Impact: dependable operation in hot, high-altitude sites with predictable foundation requirements and efficient cooling. Application: hazardous-area fans, pumps, and conveyors in demanding settings.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, follow the Exde/Exdbeb flameproof guidance, verify IP55 enclosure, and ensure mounting on IMB5/IM3001 compatible bases. Use the D connection configuration and top terminator box for clean wiring paths. Confirm storage and alignment tolerances, and reference the 50 Hz, 500 V electrical data to select appropriate starters and VFDs. Always consult the official datasheet for ATEX/IECEx compliance specifics.
The motor is rated for 500 V input at 50 Hz, delivering 30 kW of output on an 8-pole, frame size 250 design. It is an IE3 premium-efficiency, 3‑phase squirrel-cage motor with Ex protection (Exde/Exdbeb) and an IP55 enclosure. Duty class is S1, and the connection configuration is D, supporting reliable continuous operation.
Yes. The motor features flameproof Exde and Exdbeb protection, IIB gas group suitability, IP55 enclosure, and insulation class ICLF, aligning with ATEX/IECEx requirements for hazardous-area motor installations in Zone 1/2 environments. Ensure site-specific certification matching your jurisdiction and confirm mounting and installation guidelines per the datasheet.
The motor achieves IE3 efficiency, with full-load efficiency around 91.3% at 50 Hz, rising to ~91.7% at 75% load and ~91.0% at 50% load. This level of efficiency reduces energy consumption and cooling needs, improving ROI through lower electricity costs and extended motor life, particularly in continuous-process applications.
