Explosion protection (Exdbeb) is achieved to mitigate ignition risk in hazardous environments, enhancing safety and regulatory compliance for oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This translates to lower insurance costs and fewer shutdowns, enabling more predictable project timelines. The 250 kW IE2 high-efficiency rating lowers energy bills and reduces heat generation, contributing to cooler operation and extended bearing life in continuous duty applications such as pumps and compressors. IP55 enclosure provides reliable protection against dust and water ingress, supporting maintenance intervals in dirty or humid environments and enabling easier retrofits in existing facilities. A cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6316M/C3) deliver superior mechanical strength and vibration resistance, improving uptime in demanding industries and enabling longer service intervals. The motor’s temperature class T4, ambient temperature limit of 40 °C, and altitude tolerance up to 1000 m expand installation flexibility in hot or high-altitude sites, reducing the need for specialized cooling or oversized equipment. Top-terminator box location simplifies control wiring and field installation, while a 2-pole, 355 frame design aligns with standard industrial drives and motor starters, reducing integration risk and spare-part complexity.

FAQs
Plan for Ex-rated mounting in a cleaned, ventilated space with appropriate ATEX or equivalent hazardous-area compliance. Verify termination box access is top-located for simple wiring, ensure the 355 frame matches the driven equipment, and confirm ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C or elevation beyond 1000 m. Use compatible drives and motor starters to maintain IE2 efficiency while preserving Ex protection.
Exdbeb protection provides mandatory explosion protection by enclosure and intrinsic safety barriers, reducing ignition risk in gas-rich environments. This translates to safer operation, fewer ignition-related incidents, and lower risk of costly shutdowns. Routine maintenance focuses on enclosure integrity and seal checks to sustain the protective rating over time.
Yes. With a 40 °C ambient rating and an altitude tolerance up to 1000 m, the motor supports typical chemical-plant environments. The Flameproof Ex protection and IP55 rating help maintain reliability in dusty or humid areas, while IE2 efficiency minimizes heat load and improves overall plant performance.
IE2 efficiency offers measurable energy savings for continuous-duty applications like pumps and conveyors. The 250 kW rating combined with a 2-pole design reduces input energy, lowers cooling requirements, and extends bearing life by reducing thermal cycling. Benefit manifests as lower operating costs, faster payback, and improved plant competitiveness.
Prepare hazard-area compliance documentation, including Ex protection certificates, IP55 verification, insulation class details (IC411), and operating manuals. Include motor designation (M3KP 355SMC 2), duty type (S1), and environmental limits (40 °C, 1000 m). Ensure wiring diagrams, torque/installation drawings, and spare-part lists are aligned with your control system and local regulatory requirements.
