Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure provides explosion-safe operation for hazardous zones. This feature reduces risk, supports ATEX/IECEx compliance, and lowers downtime from ingress and ignition hazards in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments. The result is safer start-ups and reliable continuous operation across mission-critical processes. IE3 Premium Efficiency delivers lower energy losses and improved total cost of ownership for large drives; for a 160 kW machine operating at 50 Hz, efficiency figures approaching 95.6% at full load translate to meaningful yearly energy savings in pump, fan, and compressor applications. The 6-pole, 50 Hz design paired with a 500 V supply enables smooth torque and predictable performance under steady-state and transient conditions, reducing wear and maintenance costs. Cast iron frame 315 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility support rapid installation and retrofit in existing installations, minimizing commissioning time and downtime. The Ex-protection rating in conjunction with an IP55 enclosure ensures reliable service in dusty or moist industrial environments, helping maintain uptime for critical lines. Operating at ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, this motor balances ruggedness with efficiency, suitable for broad geographic deployment and compliant with rigorous industry standards.
