Ex protection and flameproof design are the cornerstone features of this motor. Business impact: enables safe operation in explosive atmospheres, reducing the need for costly external enclosures and specialized wiring. Application: ideal for chemical processing, mining, and offshore facilities where hazardous-area compliance is non-negotiable and downtime costs are high. IE3 premium efficiency delivers tangible energy savings and lower total cost of ownership. In practice, improved efficiency reduces energy bills across continuous operation cycles, supporting sustainability goals while maintaining process reliability in 50 Hz systems. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect the windings from dust and moisture while withstanding thermal stress, extending service intervals and minimizing insulation faults in hot industrial environments. Application spans outdoor switchgear and harsh production floors. A cast iron frame (280), 8 poles, and bearing set (6316/C3) provide durability and quiet operation, reducing maintenance hours and extending bearing life for heavy-duty loads. Installation remains straightforward with IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and a top-terminal box configuration, speeding commissioning and simplifying service routines in automated plants. This combination yields predictable torque, robust uptime, and lower lifecycle costs for hazardous-area drives in mining, chemical processing, and energy infrastructure.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installs, ensure IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility and use the top terminator box configuration. The motor is rated Exdbeb flameproof with an IP55 enclosure, so wiring must maintain ingress protection and explosion protection standards. The D connection configuration supports straightforward electrical hookup, while keeping distance from flammable zones. Plan footing and handling to protect the cast iron frame 280 from mechanical shocks.
Key specs include a 45 kW output, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 8 poles, and an IP55-protected flameproof Exdbeb design. The motor uses a frame size 280, with IC411 insulation, and operates in ambient up to 40 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m. It is a single-speed S1 duty class suitable for continuous operation in hazardous zones.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group designation make it suitable for hazardous areas typical of mining and chemical processing. The IP55 enclosure ensures protection against dust and water ingress, while the frame and bearings are designed for continuous duty in demanding environments. The motor also supports IMB3 mounting, aiding reliable installation in tough facilities.
Key standards include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation class, IE3 energy efficiency, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility. The motor is designed for 3-phase, 50 Hz operation at 500 V with 45 kW output, and it is intended for use in hazardous areas such as chemical plants and mining facilities in compliance with applicable industrial safety codes.
The IE3 efficiency rating reduces energy consumption, delivering ongoing energy-cost savings in continuous-operation plants. The robust cast iron frame and sealed Ex protection lower maintenance needs and extend bearing life, contributing to longer intervals between service. Quick installation with IMB3 mounting and a top-terminal box minimizes commissioning time, improving uptime and return on investment in hazardous-area drives.
