FAQs
Installation should be performed to meet Exdbeb protection requirements and consult local hazardous-area regulations. Use appropriate flameproof enclosures, flameproof cable glands, and certified mounting hardware for frame 280. Ensure the termination box is accessible from the D-End top and that wiring follows the Y configuration for 500 V, 50 Hz supply. Verify IP55 sealing and adherence to IMB5/IM3001 mounting guidelines during commissioning.
The motor operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, with a 55 kW output and a 6-pole configuration. It is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for IE3 premium efficiency. It uses a Y connection, with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C and derating up to 1000 m altitude. The insulation class is IC411, and the enclosure rating is IP55, suitable for hazardous environments when combined with Exdbeb protection.
Yes. The motor carries Exdbeb explosion protection and Gas Group IIB ratings, making it suitable for hazardous zones typical in mining and chemical processing. It also features an IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, which aid in maintaining performance and protecting internal components in challenging environments.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption compared with older frame types, delivering lower operating costs over the motor’s life. In demanding processes, the improved efficiency translates to reduced heat generation and extended bearing life, lowering maintenance intervals. The rugged flameproof design also minimizes unexpected downtime in hazardous areas, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box location, and a Frame Size 280 body. Its frame and mounting compatibility, along with a 6-pole design and Y-connected 500 V supply, simplify retrofits by aligning with common industrial layouts and standard wiring practices. This reduces installation time and spare-part complexity in upgrading existing lines.
