The 90 kW IE3 flameproof design delivers significant energy savings over lower efficiency motors, translating to measurable operating cost reductions in continuous duty applications such as pumps and fans. This directly supports sustainability goals and cost-of-ownership targets in chemical processing and mining environments. The Exde flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure provide robust explosion protection and ingress resistance, helping facilities meet strict ATEX/IECEx requirements while maintaining uninterrupted production. A heavy-duty cast iron frame (315) and IMB3/IM1001 mounting support long service life in vibration-prone, dirty, or corrosive environments, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime. The motor’s star (Y) connection and 6-pole, 3‑phase configuration optimize starting currents and torque delivery, improving drive performance during ramp-up and load changes. With 90 kW output at 50 Hz and 500 V, it suits applications ranging from hoisting to industrial mixers where precise speed and reliability matter. Design considerations such as Temperature Class T4, altitude rating of up to 1000 m, and an insulation system (ICLF) align with real‑world plant conditions, ensuring safe operation under elevated ambient temperatures. The motor’s compact 315 frame size and 1204 mm length enable straightforward replacement and retrofit in existing plant footprints, while a D‑End top terminator box location simplifies electrical installation and serviceability. Procurement and project teams gain confidence from the verified 1 piece minimum order quantity and clear country of origin (Finland), aiding accurate budgeting and supplier qualification.

FAQs
When installing in hazardous zones, ensure Exde flameproof protection is verified, IP55 enclosure is intact, and mounting follows IMB3/IM1001 guidelines. Use the Y connection for reduced starting current and verify the D‑End top terminator box location for straightforward wiring and future service access. The unit’s 315 frame size supports retrofit in standard plant footprints.
The motor delivers 90 kW output at 50 Hz with a 6‑pole configuration, optimized for full‑load efficiency per IE3 standards. Full‑load efficiency is around 94–95%, improving energy use in continuous duty S1 operation. It is designed for reliable torque delivery, stable operation, and reduced electrical losses in pumping, grinding, and material handling processes.
Yes. The motor provides Exde flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure suitable for ATEX/IECEx compliant installations in IIB gas groups. It is designed for use in hazardous environments such as chemical plants and oil & gas facilities, offering reliable performance while meeting stringent safety and regulatory requirements.
Key maintenance considerations include monitoring bearing health (6319/C3 and 6316/C3), maintaining proper lubrication schedules, and periodic inspection of the IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The heavy cast iron frame and robust enclosure are designed for long service life, with maintenance intervals driven by operating temperature (up to 40 °C) and altitude up to 1000 m in tough plant conditions.
The motor supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D‑End top terminator box. Electrical connection is configured in Y (star) for 500 V operation at 50 Hz, with 6 poles providing robust torque and smooth starting behavior. The 315 frame size and dimensions enable straightforward replacement or retrofit alongside existing drive systems.
