Flameproof Ex db eb protection provides a tangible safety margin in explosive atmospheres, reducing ignition risk and helping you pass critical compliance checks on site. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns and lower insurance exposure, particularly in oil&gas, chemical processing, and mining facilities. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings across continuous operation, translating into lower operating costs and a faster return on investment during the motor’s life cycle. The IP55 enclosure protects internal components from dust and water ingress, enabling reliable performance in outdoor or dirty environments without frequent maintenance. IMB5 mounting with IM3001 compatibility and a D-end top terminator box simplify installation, alignment, and future service, reducing commissioning time and enabling straightforward retrofits in existing plants. The motor’s 2-pole, 315 frame, 250 kW rating at 500 V and 50 Hz supports direct-on-line or belt-driven drives, delivering robust torque characteristics and long service life in demanding applications. Designed for altitudes up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, it maintains stable performance in harsh surroundings, while IC411 insulation and IC class compliance ensure reliable operation under heat and load.

FAQs
The motor uses a D connection configuration and supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting, with a terminator box located at the D-End top for straightforward integration into existing switchgear and mechanical layouts. This simplifies alignment, cabling, and service access during installation and commissioning.
Key specs include 250 kW output, 2 poles, 315 frame size, 500 V, 50 Hz, and protection class Exdbeb with IP55 enclosure. The motor is designed for IC411 insulation, is IE3 rated, and operates reliably up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, providing consistent torque and efficiency in demanding environments.
Yes. It is explicitly designed for hazardous-area use with Ex protection (Exdbeb) and IIB gas group support, IP55 enclosure, and robust motor housing. Combined with IE3 efficiency, it reduces energy costs while maintaining safety and reliability in oil & gas processing, refining, and mining operations.
The motor features Ex protection Exdbeb, IP55, and IC411 insulation with a Gas Group IIB rating, suitable for explosion-risk zones. It is designed to meet stringent industrial safety and performance requirements while delivering premium efficiency (IE3) across 50 Hz operation.
The flameproof enclosure and rugged cast-iron frame reduce ingress-related wear, while the IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D-End top wiring facilitate quicker servicing and component replacement. IE3 efficiency lowers energy consumption, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership through reduced energy bills and longer intervals between major maintenance.
