FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, with a cast iron frame and IP55 enclosure. Plan for Ex-protected environments by locating the motor in suitable clean zones within the hazardous area boundary. The D-end top terminator box location and built-in mounting provisions support straightforward alignment with existing drives and starter cabinets, minimizing installation complexity and downtime.
Key specs include 45 kW output, 8 poles, 500 V nominal voltage, 50 Hz frequency, and IE3 efficiency. The motor operates under S1 duty and up to 1000 m altitude with ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Its IC411 insulation and IP55 protection help ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, reducing unplanned outages and enabling steady process control.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for IIB gas group environments, along with an IP55 enclosure and flameproof design. This combination supports regulatory compliance for many hazardous-area applications, while the IE3 efficiency helps meet energy and sustainability targets for plants operating under strict safety standards.
The motor delivers IE3 efficiency at full load (approximately 92.2–92.4%) and maintains strong performance at partial loads, contributing to meaningful energy savings over time. Coupled with robust protection (IP55, Exdbeb) and durable cast iron construction, it reduces maintenance and downtime costs in hazardous environments, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for continuous, demanding processes.
Ideal for chemical processing, petrochemical, mining, and offshore or on-site facilities with hazardous zones. The flameproof Ex-protection, IIB gas group suitability, and 8-pole, 45 kW configuration support heavy pumping, mixing, and conveying tasks under demanding ambient conditions, while IP55 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplify retrofit and new-install integration.
