FAQs
When installing this motor in hazardous zones, ensure Exdbeb flameproof protection is maintained, with proper cable entries and termination. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting for rugged support, and connect via the D configuration for reliable operation. Position the unit for easy access to the terminator box, allow adequate clearance for maintenance, and verify IP55 sealing in dusty or humid environments. Consider altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature up to 40 °C to maintain performance specifications.
Yes. The motor delivers IE3 premium efficiency across 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation, with full-load efficiency around 96%. It carries Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, supporting ATEX/IECEx compliance for hazardous-area applications. Its insulation class ICFL/ICLF and Gas Group IIB further align with typical hazardous-environment standards, enabling safer, compliant operation in Zone IIB environments.
This motor is well suited for high-power, continuous-duty applications in hazardous zones, such as chemical processing lines, oil and gas refining pumps, mining ventilation fans, and offshore equipment. The 315 kW output, 4-pole design, and frame size 355 provide strong torque and reliability for demanding duty cycles, while Exdbeb protection and IP55 sealing enhance safety and uptime in challenging environments.
The motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting and D-End top terminator box, which streamlines alignment with existing equipment and minimizes retrofit complexity. Frame size 355 and a 500 V, 50 Hz electrical setup support straightforward integration with standard plant voltage and drive systems. The rugged cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6322/C3 and 6316/C3) improve long-term reliability, reducing commissioning and maintenance time.
The combination of IE3 efficiency and Ex protected design yields meaningful energy savings and reduced total cost of ownership over the motor’s life. Regular maintenance is facilitated by the accessible terminator box and durable IMB3 mounting, with fewer unscheduled outages in hazardous environments. Expect lower maintenance costs, extended mean time between failures, and improved uptime in demanding industrial settings.
