Ex protection and IP55 enclosure reduce risk and maintenance downtime in hazardous environments, enabling safer operation of pumps and conveyors in chemical processing or oil & gas facilities. This flameproof Exdbeb motor delivers reliable torque and rugged performance, translating to fewer unscheduled shutdowns and lower total cost of ownership. IE3 premium efficiency translates to energy savings of several percent under full and partial loads, reducing heat and improving motor life in continuous S1 service while meeting stringent regulatory expectations. The 132 kW, 4-pole design with a 315 frame provides strong starting torque for heavy-duty applications, improving startup reliability in belt-driven systems and mixers. IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and in-field installation, reducing downtime and commissioning costs. The enclosure and insulation system are designed for 40 °C ambient conditions up to 1000 m altitude, supporting installation in tall processing plants without derating.

FAQs
This motor uses Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, designed for hazardous-area installations. It supports IMB3 IM1001 mounting, with a frame size 315 and four poles, allowing straightforward retrofits and compatibility with common base plates and couplings. Plan for 500 V supply, 50 Hz operation, and ensure appropriate cooling for 40 °C ambient conditions up to 1000 m altitude.
IE Class data at 50 Hz shows full-load efficiency around 95.6%, with 75% load efficiency at about 95.8% and 50% load around 95.4%. At 60 Hz, the full-load efficiency is approximately 96.2%, with 75% and 50% loads near 96.0% and 95.3% respectively. These values support energy savings in continuous S1 duty and help justify lifecycle costs in process plants.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, 132 kW output, and 4-pole design are well-suited for pumps, conveyors, and other rotating equipment in chemical, petrochemical, and mining environments. The motor’s IMB3/IM1001 mounting makes integration easier, while the 500 V, 50 Hz supply aligns with standard industrial power systems.
Key certifications include Ex protection (Exdbeb) for flameproof operation in hazardous areas, IE3 premium efficiency for energy performance, and IP55 enclosure for ingress protection. The motor is designed for 50 Hz operation, granite mounting in IMB3/IM1001 configurations, and supports compliance with relevant IEC/ATEX/IECEx requirements.
The upgrade offers energy savings from IE3 efficiency, reduced maintenance due to robust flameproof design and long service life, and faster installation thanks to IMB3 mounting. Although upfront cost may be higher, the combination of improved safety, lower downtime, and energy efficiency often yields a favorable payback within a typical plant renewal cycle.
