The flameproof Exdbeb protection combined with an IP55 enclosure ensures safe operation in hazardous zones, reducing the need for external protective housings and cutting commissioning time. This directly lowers installation costs and minimizes safety-related downtime in chemical plants, oil refineries, and offshore facilities. The IE3 premium efficiency rating translates to measurable energy savings during steady-state operation, improving overall plant performance and reducing operating expenses in pumping and fan systems. A robust cast-iron frame (280) with a 75 kW output and a 4-pole design delivers consistent torque and reliable performance under 40 °C ambient conditions at up to 1000 m altitude, supporting long service life in challenging environments. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations, enabling quick alignment with existing bases and control cabinets. The D-connection, IC411 insulation class, and Ex protection address common objections about compatibility and regulatory compliance, making this motor a smart choice for hazardous-area automation workloads. In practice, end users gain reduced maintenance needs, safer operations, and predictable energy costs across lifecycle management of industrial drives.

FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and is rated for 500 V, 50 Hz operation. Plan for a proper starter or VFD that supports 3-phase 4-pole operation, ensuring the drive can deliver the specified torque at 75 kW while maintaining Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 sealing. Confirm control wiring and earth fault protection per site safety practices.
The motor is rated Exdbeb flameproof, designed for hazardous environments, with IP55 enclosure and insulation suitable for demanding plants. It supports safe operation in ATEX/IECEx contexts and is compatible with robust mounting standards (IMB3/IM1001). Ensure site-specific compliance checks and local approvals align with your project requirements.
The motor is IE3 premium efficient. At 50 Hz, full load efficiency approaches 95.0%, with partial-load figures around 95.2–95.4% depending on load percentage. This translates to meaningful energy savings over continuous operation, reducing running costs in pumps, fans, and conveyors typical of hazardous-area plants.
Yes. The M3KP family is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with a frame size 280 and a 4-pole configuration. It is specified for up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, making it suitable for many industrial sites, including rooftop and outdoor installations in harsher environments.
Expect ROI from energy savings due to IE3 efficiency, reduced maintenance from rugged cast-iron construction, and safety/compliance benefits from Ex flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure. The motor’s long service life, compatibility with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and reliable performance under 40 °C ambient conditions contribute to lower lifecycle costs and fewer unplanned outages.
