FAQs
Follow standard Exde motor installation practices: mount on a rigid base using IMB5/IM3001 mounting, connect via the D-end termination, ensure proper grounding, verify IP55 cooling, and power from a 500 V, 50 Hz supply. Confirm compliance with local ATEX/IECEx requirements and verify enclosure integrity before commissioning.
Yes. The motor is specified for 50 Hz operation, 500 V input, and 6 poles, delivering 250 kW with a frame size 355. It is designed for 40°C ambient conditions and up to 1000 m altitude, making it appropriate for challenging industrial environments.
The motor features Exde flameproof protection with Exdbeb gas group IIB, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. It supports S1 duty with a 6-pole configuration, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and D-End top termination, suitable for hazardous locations and rugged plants.
Regularly inspect bearings (6316/C3 and 6322/C3 as specified), verify cooling performance, check terminal connections, and confirm alignment and torque. Schedule routine inspections of the Exd enclosure integrity and mounting hardware to maintain safety and uptime in hazardous environments.
You benefit from IE3 energy savings, reduced downtime due to robust Ex protection, and longer bearing life in harsh conditions. Although ROI varies by load profile, users typically see lower energy costs, improved uptime, and simplified procurement across multi-site facilities.
