Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flameproof Exdbeb protection supports safe operation in explosion-hazard zones, reducing ignition risk and non-compliance penalties in oil, gas, and chemical plants. This translates to lower insurance costs and higher plant uptime when used on pumps and conveyors in hazardous areas. Application: offshore platforms, refineries, and mining facilities requiring robust safety credentials. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE3 Premium Efficiency rating delivers measurable energy savings at full-load operation, cutting utility bills and supporting sustainability targets during continuous 50 Hz operation at 500 V, up to 250 kW. Application: large fans, pumps, grinders, and material handling systems where energy cost per kW is a key KPI. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Frame Size 315 with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-end top terminator enables straightforward installation and flexible alignment across OEM-built machines and retrofit projects. Application: retrofit in existing 315-frame lineups and new equipment with standardized mounting. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron frame, IP55, IC411 insulation, 40 °C ambient, 1000 m altitude offer rugged durability and consistent torque with minimal derating. Application: dry and damp plants in chemical processing, water treatment, and continuous-process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ex protection and gas group IIB compliance ensure regulatory alignment and safer operation in mixed-exposure environments. Application: demanding chemical processing and mining applications requiring certified flameproof motors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, 4-pole high-torque alignment suits high-load conveyors and pump drives, supporting IMB3/IM1001 mounting for uniform performance. Application: heavy-load material handling and fluid transfer systems in hazardous zones.

FAQs
For hazardous locations, verify Exdbeb flameproof protection, ensure IP55 enclosure sealing, and mount using IMB3/IM1001 configurations. Confirm ambient temperature (40 °C) and altitude (up to 1000 m) do not exceed rating, and use flameproof terminals and compliant cable entry. Follow local ATEX/IECEx guidelines and ensure proper grounding and motor protection devices are included in the drive envelope.
The motor operates at 500 V, 50 Hz with a 250 kW output. It is a 4-pole design (frame size 315) with IC411 insulation class and a T4 temperature class. It features a D connection configuration and IP55 for enclosure protection, suitable for outdoor and enclosure-protected installations in hazardous zones.
Yes. The product supports IMB3 and IM1001 mounting arrangements and specifies D-End top terminator placement, enabling consistent installation across OEM builds and retrofits, reducing alignment time and improving serviceability.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous environments, IP55 enclosure rating, IC411 insulation class, and CE marking. These credentials support regulatory compliance for industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption for continuous runs, delivering lower operating costs. The flameproof design minimizes risk-driven downtime and maintenance complexity in hazardous areas. Cast-iron construction and robust bearings extend service intervals, lowering total cost of ownership over the motor’s life.
