The flameproof Exdbeb protection provides a high level of safety for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, directly reducing the risk of ignition in critical processes. This translates to lower insurance costs and less downtime due to compliance checks. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers measurable energy savings at full and partial loads, improving motor lifetime cost of ownership and reducing operating expenses in continuous duty S1 applications. With IP55 protection, the motor withstands dust and water ingress in harsh environments, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or dusty facilities. The 2-pole, 250 kW design at 500 V and 50 Hz balances fast start-up with sustained torque for heavy loads, while the D connection configuration simplifies electrical installation and reduces wiring errors. The 315 frame and cast-iron frame material support exceptional mechanical strength, vibration resistance, and long life in demanding installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility ensures quick, standardized installation across common industrial motor bases, minimizing commissioning time and spare-part complexity. Handling conditions up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperature makes this motor a versatile choice for mining, chemical processing, and power generation facilities. The insulation class ICLF further supports sustained performance in elevated temperatures, while the Ex protection and gas group IIB ratings address industry-specific safety requirements. Overall, the motor delivers dependable performance, easier maintenance, and a compelling return on investment for hazardous-area operations.

FAQs
Install in accordance with ATEX/IECEx requirements for Exdbeb equipment. Use the D-connection configuration, ensure IP55 sealing, and mount on compatible IMB5 IM3001 bases. Verify ambient temperature (up to 40 °C) and altitude (up to 1000 m), and connect to 500 V, 50 Hz supply. Use appropriate explosion-protected terminal boxes and follow a strict maintenance schedule to preserve flameproof integrity.
Key specs include 250 kW output, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 2-pole design, IE3 efficiency, IP55, and Exdbeb explosion protection. Frame size is 315 with a cast-iron frame. Frame materials are Cast Iron; bearings are 6316/C3. The motor uses a D connection, is oriented for both rotation directions, and supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting.
Yes. The motor is flameproof (Exdbeb) and rated for Gas Group IIB with IP55 protection, making it suitable for hazardous zones in oil and gas or chemical plants. It also meets IC411 insulation standards and has a T4 temperature class, enabling safe operation in elevated ambient temperatures typical of process industries.
The motor carries Exdbeb explosion protection and IP55 enclosure, with Gas Group IIB suitability, IC411 insulation class, and a T4 temperature rating. It supports hazardous-area installation and is designed to meet IEC and ATEX-style safety expectations for flameproof electric drives used in demanding environments.
Maintenance focuses on preserving flameproof integrity, inspecting bearings (6316/C3) and seals, and ensuring IP55 seals remain intact. The IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor’s lifecycle, improving ROI. Its heavy-duty Cast Iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting reduce downtime during replacements and re installations while maintaining reliable performance in challenging climates.
