Flameproof Exde motor with Exdbeb protection provides explosion protection in hazardous environments, reducing the risk of ignition and enabling continuous operation in zone IIB applications; ideal for chemical processing, oil and gas and mining facilities, and reduces risk-related downtime. IE3 premium efficiency lowers energy consumption across full and partial load profiles, delivering meaningful savings on annual electricity use and contributing to a lower total cost of ownership in pumping, fans, and conveyor systems. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation enhance durability in high-temperature, dusty settings while supporting reliable operation at 40 C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, safeguarding uptime in offshore platforms and desert installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations, reducing wiring time and ensuring compliant, clean integration with IMB5/IM3001-mount drive trains. The 4-pole, 250 kW, 500 V, 50 Hz specification delivers strong torque and steady speed control for demanding loads while maintaining predictable motor life in continuous S1 duty. Built-in terminator box location at the D-end top eases service access, enabling faster maintenance and lower lifecycle costs. This combination of flameproof protection, robust mechanicals and premium efficiency makes it suitable for regulated environments where safety, reliability and energy savings are non-negotiable.

FAQs
Access and install the motor in a suitable hazardous area with Ex protection, connect via the D-end top terminal box, and use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting kit for a compliant, vibration-resistant setup. Verify input 500 V, 50 Hz, and confirm IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation. Ensure cooling and ventilation meet ambient 40 C and altitude 1000 m, and follow local ATEX/IECEx procedures during commissioning.
Yes. The motor is specified for 500 V at 50 Hz, delivering 250 kW with a 4-pole configuration. Its IE3 premium efficiency improves energy use across load profiles, reducing operating costs in pumps, fans, and conveyors. Its 4-pole design provides strong torque characteristics for continuous S1 duty while maintaining reliable performance in demanding industrial installations.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones, with Gas Group IIB approval, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. It is designed for use in zone IIB environments and is compatible with ATEX/IECEx regulatory frameworks, ensuring safe operation in chemical and oil-and-gas facilities while enabling compliant installation and maintenance.
IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports flexible alignment and robust securing of the motor on standard bases, enabling straightforward integration with existing drive trains. The D-End top terminal box location simplifies wiring and service access, reducing installation time and facilitating maintenance in tight spaces common to plants with confined mechanical rooms or offshore modules.
The combination of Ex flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure and IE3 efficiency delivers lower downtime risk, fewer unplanned maintenance events and meaningful energy savings. With 250 kW output and durable cast-iron framing, bearing life and MTBF improve in hostile environments, supporting a shorter payback period through energy savings and reliable long-term operation.
