Flameproof protection is embedded with Exdbeb, delivering enhanced safety and regulatory compliance in hazardous zones, reducing risk during maintenance and operation in mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities. The IE4 energy efficiency rating drives significant energy savings on long-running loads, lowering total cost of ownership and cooling requirements in 50 Hz systems. A rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 enclosure, and insulation class ICLF enable reliable operation at 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, minimizing unplanned downtime. The 4-pole, 160 kW motor uses a 400 V supply with a D connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting that simplify installation, servicing, and retrofits in existing hazardous-area drives. The D-end top termination box design accelerates wiring and reduces field wiring errors during commissioning, while the continuous S1 duty guarantees predictable performance for conveyors, pumps, and fans in harsh environments. With a frame size 315 and bearing setup 6319/C3 (NDE 6316/C3), you gain longevity and easier maintenance planning, supporting a lower total cost of ownership for industrial automation projects.
