Flameproof Exde design provides intrinsic safety for hazardous zones, reducing ignition risk and simplifying compliance audits—ideal for chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations. The business impact is clear: safer equipment uptime and lower incident-related costs, enabling uninterrupted process control. Applications span petrochemical processing and off-shore platforms where external protection is a must, and maintenance windows are limited. IE3 Premium Efficiency at 75 kW minimizes energy spend and improves overall plant efficiency, delivering measurable operating-cost reductions while meeting stringent procurement standards. In real-world drives, the motor’s 50 Hz, 500 V supply and Y configuration enable straightforward integration with standard VFDs, ensuring smooth startups and reduced electrical stress during commissioning. IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and Exdbeb protection collectively extend service life in dusty or moist environments, lowering spare parts and maintenance intervals over the motor’s life. The frame size 280 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer installation versatility, supporting both new builds and retrofit projects with minimal layout changes. Designed for hot climates up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m, this motor maintains performance without derating, which translates to predictable torque and reduced risk of unscheduled downtime. The 2-pole design enables robust torque at startup while keeping physical footprint compact, simplifying conveyor, pump, or fan drives in hazardous areas. Finally, the combination of Ex protection with a strong mechanical build—cast iron frame, 6316/C3 bearings, and D-End top terminator box—provides reliable long-term operation in tough industrial environments.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, choose the Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure to withstand dust and moisture. The motor uses a Y connection for 500 V three-phase power, a 2-pole design for strong starting torque, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility. The terminator box is located at the D-End top, enabling accessible wiring and straightforward panel integration.
IE3 efficiency means higher energy conversion at full load and partial loads, with typical full-load efficiency around 94.7% at 50 Hz. Lower energy losses translate to meaningful reductions in electricity bills over the motor’s lifetime, improving return on investment, especially in continuous or large-scale duty cycles common in pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The motor is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 meters. Its insulation class ICFL and robust mechanical design ensure reliable performance in hot environments. Apply standard derating guidance only if operating conditions exceed those limits, to maintain torque and reliability.
The motor uses a Y connection at 500 V and frame size 280, with IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility. A D-End top terminator box location simplifies wiring and serviceability, while the 2-pole design delivers strong starting torque and compact footprint for retrofit or new installations in hazardous environments.
The product features Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, suitable for hazardous zones in combination with a IIB gas group. It also meets IC411 insulation and IE3 efficiency requirements, aligning with industry expectations for safe, energy-efficient operation in demanding industrial settings.
