FAQs
This motor employs Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous zones. It uses a D connection configuration and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, ensuring straightforward integration with standard 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase drives. When planning installation, confirm assembly alignment with the 280 frame and ensure proper cooling at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
Key specifications include 110 kW output power, 400 V line voltage, 50 Hz frequency, IE4 efficiency class, IP55 protection, and Exdbeb flameproof protection. The motor is a 3-phase, 2-pole design with a D connection, suitable for continuous S1 duty and installation in environments requiring robust explosion protection and reliable heat management.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB designation, aligning with hazardous-area equipment expectations and supporting regulatory compliance in zones where flammable gases may be present. Operators should verify local certification scope and ensure correct installation and maintenance procedures per relevant standards.
Frame size is 280 with a net length around 1090 mm and a net height of 768 mm, net width 530 mm, and a weight of roughly 734 kg. Mounting follows IMB5/IM3001 conventions, with a D connection configuration.
