Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas-group rating ensure ignition prevention in explosive atmospheres, reducing risk and speeding compliance in oil, gas, and chemical processing sites. Business impact: enhanced safety and regulatory alignment; Application: pumps and mixers in ATEX zones. IE3 premium efficiency lowers energy bills for continuous-duty operation; Business impact: reduced operating costs and carbon footprint; Application: duty cycles at 50 Hz and 60 Hz networks. IP55 enclosure and IC ICF insulation sustain performance under dusty or high-temperature conditions; Business impact: longer service intervals and lower maintenance cost; Application: harsh plant floors with ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude. Cast-iron frame, 280 mm size, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting enable straightforward retrofits; Business impact: shorter installation times and compatibility with existing baselined plant infrastructure; Application: new build or upgrade projects relying on IMB3 mounting. D connection configuration and 6-pole design deliver reliable starting torque and smooth operation; Business impact: improved motor control and reduced electrical stress; Application: belt-driven or direct-drive systems in hazardous areas. Altitude and environmental ratings align with global chemical and petrochemical facilities; Business impact: predictable performance in varied sites; Application: process pumps, fans, and compressors.

FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box, facilitating plug-and-play integration into hazardous-area equipment. The 1090 mm length, 530 mm width, and 768 mm height fit common plant footprints, while the 280 frame size and cast-iron construction ensure robust support for heavy-duty installations.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 55 kW at 500 V with IE3 efficiency; at 60 Hz, efficiency remains high (around 94.5% full-load). The unit uses a 6-pole configuration with a D connection, voltage code E, and a duty class S1, suitable for continuous operation in demanding plants.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous locations and a Gas Group IIB rating, with IP55 enclosure for dust and moisture protection. These features support ATEX/IECEx compliance and safe operation in common gas-exposed process facilities.
Flameproof Exdbeb protection reduces ignition risk, allowing longer service intervals in hazardous areas and fewer shutdowns for inspections. Coupled with IE3 efficiency, this lowers maintenance and energy costs over the motor’s lifecycle, delivering a lower total cost of ownership in oil, gas, and chemical installations.
