FAQs
Install the motor using the IMB5/IM3001 mounting arrangement specified for this frame size 280. Verify Exdbeb protection and ensure the D connection configuration is used. Confirm IP55 enclosure integrity and mount in a compliant location with proper grounding to maintain explosion protection ratings. Follow the manufacturer’s torque specs and alignment procedures to minimize vibration and downtime.
The motor operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, delivering 45 kW with 6 poles. It is designed for S1 continuous duty, with IE3 efficiency and insulation class IC LF? (ICLF) for high-temperature tolerance. It features Exdbeb protection for hazardous zones, IP55 enclosure, and a 6-pole configuration suitable for steady torque generation and smooth starts in process lines.
Yes. It combines flameproof Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, and IIB gas group compatibility, making it well-suited for oil & gas, petrochemical, and chemical-processing environments where safe operation and energy efficiency are critical. The rugged cast-iron frame and mounting options support reliable long-term service in harsh conditions.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IIB gas group rating, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, along with ATEX/IECEx compatibility. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements for hazardous locations, while the IE3 efficiency aligns with energy compliance and cost-reduction goals.
Expect reduced downtime due to robust EN/IEC-compliant design, longer service intervals from rugged cast-iron construction, and lower operating costs thanks to IE3 efficiency. The Ex-rated protection minimizes unplanned outages in hazardous environments, while IMB5 mounting simplifies installation and future service, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s life.
