Flameproof Ex protection is a cornerstone of safety in hazardous areas, reducing ignition risk and enabling compliant operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities while delivering measurable energy savings through IE3 efficiency. In practice, this means lower operating costs and higher plant uptime, especially where motors run close to continuous duty. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect against dust, water, and elevated ambient temperatures, translating to longer service intervals and fewer field faults in dusty or humid environments. The 4-pole, 90 kW, 500 V, 50 Hz rating supports reliable, steady torque and predictable performance across typical industrial loads, with Delta (D) connection simplifying panel integration and retrofit projects. The cast iron frame (280) and robust bearings (6316/C3) withstand vibration and harsh handling, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-End top terminator box streamline installation and service access. Together these features reduce lifecycle costs and support compliant, safe operation in hazardous areas, even in space-constrained or retrofit scenarios.

FAQs
For safe, code-compliant installation in hazardous areas, use Exdbeb flameproof protection with an IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation. The motor is designed for Delta (D) connection and IMB3 mounting, with a D-End top terminator box to simplify wiring, commissioning, and future service access. Plan adequate clearances for cooling and ensure compatible V/Hz supply at 500 V, 50 Hz.
This is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor rated at 90 kW with a 500 V input and 50 Hz frequency. It delivers IE3 premium efficiency under Full Load (100%) conditions around 95% efficiency, with solid performance at reduced loads (75% and 50%). The motor operates in ambient up to 40 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m, and supports continuous operation (S1).
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation class make it suitable for hazardous-area environments found in oil & gas and chemical processing. The robust cast-iron frame and IMB3 mounting offer reliable operation under demanding conditions, while the rugged design helps minimize maintenance cycles and enhance plant safety.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection for explosive atmospheres, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting class. These attributes align with international safety and efficiency expectations for hazardous-area motors, while the 90 kW rating supports demanding industrial drives in 3-phase networks at 500 V and 50 Hz.
Energy savings from IE3 efficiency reduce operating costs versus standard efficiency motors, especially in continuous-duty applications. Durable components—cast iron frame, quality bearings, and robust enclosure—lower maintenance frequency, while Ex protection and IP55 reduce fault-induced downtime. The motor’s design supports straightforward retrofits, predictable performance, and longer service intervals, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for hazardous-area installations.
