Flameproof Exdbeb protection enhances safety and regulatory compliance, reducing ignition risk during installation and maintenance in gas atmospheres. For chemical plants and refineries, this translates to faster commissioning and lower risk exposure. The motor’s IE3 premium efficiency delivers tangible energy savings, helping operators reduce operating costs on long-running processes while maintaining consistent torque. IP55 enclosure and a robust cast-iron frame provide durable protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, simplifying field servicing and extending service intervals. Installation is streamlined by a standardized 2-pole design, 500 V operation, and a familiar IMB3/IM1001 mounting scheme, enabling straightforward retrofits or new builds. The ascending reliability is reinforced by reliable bearings (6316M/C3) and a proven top-terminator box, supporting maintenance planning and lifecycle cost reduction. Operational limits—ambient 40 °C, altitude 1000 m, and IC411 insulation class—ensure safe performance in demanding environments while minimising derating. Overall, this motor aligns with hazardous-area standards and provides a strong return on investment through reduced downtime and longer service intervals.

FAQs
Yes. The motor is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply with a D connection configuration, making it suitable for standard industrial power networks in chemical and petrochemical facilities. With a 2-pole design and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, installation is straightforward in existing plants or new builds.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IIB gas group rating, and IP55 enclosure, ensuring safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. These certifications support regulatory compliance, safer maintenance in the field, and reliable performance in hazardous locations such as oil refineries and chemical processing plants.
It uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a top terminator box configuration for convenient cable access. The frame is 355 with a cast-iron housing, designed for reliable operation in constrained spaces. The combination of mounting style and enclosure protects internal components while enabling easy alignment with existing drivetrains and third-party accessories.
IE3 premium efficiency typically delivers around 95.8% full-load efficiency at 50 Hz, with strong performance at partial loads as well. The improved efficiency reduces energy consumption and operating costs over its lifecycle, particularly in continuous-duty applications (S1) common in pumping, fans, and compressors within hazardous environments.
Maintain the integrity of the Ex protection and IP55 enclosure by regular inspection for corrosion, dust ingress, and moisture. Monitor bearing condition (6316M/C3) and verify alignment and coupling wear. Given the robust cast-iron frame and rugged mounting, scheduled servicing and lubrication intervals can be extended, supporting lower total cost of ownership in demanding facilities.
