Exdbeb flameproof protection is a core feature, delivering certified protection against ignition in hazardous zones. This reduces risk and supports regulatory compliance, enabling installation in potentially explosive atmospheres. Ideal for chemical processing lines, offshore platforms, and mining conveyors that demand continuous operation. IE3 premium efficiency is realized across full and partial loads, translating into measurable energy savings over the motor’s life and a cooler, less stressed drive enclosure. At full load (100%), IE3 performance is typically around 92% or higher, with strong partial-load performance as noted in the specification data, which lowers operating costs and reduces heat generation in electrical cabinets. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation class withstand dust, water ingress, and elevated ambient temperatures, boosting reliability in outdoor, oily, or dusty plants. The 1000 m altitude rating and 40 °C ambient temperature tolerance ensure dependable operation in diverse sites. The 8-pole, 45 kW rating aligns with common process drives while the cast-iron frame 280 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplify installation and retrofit. Y-configuration and 400 V supply support straightforward integration with standard VFDs and motor starters. These mechanicals combine with a robust Ex protection package to deliver long-term uptime, reduced maintenance, and lower lifecycle costs for heavy-duty applications. The compact footprint and Finland-made heritage also support predictable supply chains and strong aftermarket support in hazardous environments.

FAQs
Yes. The motor is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a cast-iron frame size 280, compatible with standard 400 V, 50 Hz drive systems. Its Y connection and robust enclosure simplify panel integration and alignment with common motor starters and VFDs used in hazardous environments.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers IE3 efficiency with Full Load (100%) around 92.2% and near 92.1–92.4% under partial loads, per the spec data. At 60 Hz, the efficiency remains around IE3-class performance (slightly different values due to frequency variation), providing meaningful energy savings over continuous operation.
Absolutely. With Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and 8-pole 45 kW output, the motor is well-suited for pumps and conveyors in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations where explosion protection and reliability are critical.
The motor carries Exdbeb explosion protection, an IP55 enclosure rating, and insulation class IC411, supporting compliance with hazardous-area standards. Additional protections include flameproof construction and gas group IIB compatibility, aligning with industry regulators and safety guidelines.
The IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor life, while the robust cast-iron frame and protective enclosure lower maintenance needs in harsh environments. The Ex protection and high IP rating minimize unplanned downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in hazardous-area operations.
