Exdbeb flameproof protection ensures compliance with hazardous-area standards, reducing ignition risks in explosive atmospheres and enabling safe operation of pumps and fans in oil, gas, and chemical plants. This directly lowers downtime and maintenance costs while increasing worker safety. The IE4 Super Premium Efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings at full and partial load (typical full-load efficiency around 96.3% at 50 Hz, 95.8% at 60 Hz), translating to lower utility bills and a faster return on investment for continuous-duty applications. Cast iron frame size 280 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 6316/C3 bearings deliver long service life in harsh environments, while IP55 protection shields against dust and water ingress in demanding facilities. The 2-pole, 400 V, 50 Hz configuration with Ex protection supports compact, reliable integration in existing electrical networks. Installed in chemical plants, refineries, or mining operations, the motor reduces lifecycle costs through durable construction and low maintenance.
