Exdbeb flameproof protection and gas-group IIB provide proven safety in hazardous zones, reducing the risk of ignition in chemical and oil- gas processes and supporting regulatory compliance. Business impact: enhanced safety, lower insurance costs, and fewer shutdowns. Application: chemical processing, offshore platforms, and mining conveyors requiring robust flameproofing and certified protection. IE3 premium efficiency improves energy performance at full and partial loads, delivering measurable reductions in operating costs and improved return on investment, especially in continuous-duty S1 applications such as pumps and fans. Application: any continuous-duty heavy-load drive where power reliability matters. IP55 enclosure protects the motor from dust and water ingress in dusty plants or humid environments, lowering maintenance and extending service life. Application: cement plants, metal casting, and wood processing facilities. Cast-iron frame and 355 frame size deliver strength and damping for high-vibration environments, improving reliability and reducing mount-related wear. Application: heavy-duty conveyors, crushers, and mixers. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, with a top-terminated box location for straightforward wiring. Application: integrators and OEMs seeking quick commissioning. Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature up to 40 °C support reliable operation in typical plant locations, while 8 poles provide favorable torque characteristics for steady startup and load acceptance.

FAQs
For safe, compliant installation in hazardous zones, plan space for the 355 frame and 1710 kg net weight, mount as IMB3/IM1001, and locate the top-placed terminator box for easy wiring. Use the D connection configuration with 500 V supply at 50 Hz, and consider IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof requirements to minimize ignition risk and ensure regulatory conformity.
Exdbeb protection provides flameproof enclosure integrity suitable for IIB gas groups, enabling operation in Zone 1/2 environments where ignition sources must be controlled. Combined with IP55, IC411 insulation, and IEC-compliant design, the motor supports safer operation, reduced risk of enclosure breach, and smoother compliance audits in chemical, oil, and gas processing facilities.
Yes. The 355 frame size with IMB3/IM1001 mounting is designed for compatibility with common retrofit layouts. Ensure the existing drive supplies 500 V, 50 Hz, and verify shaft alignment, bearing housing compatibility (bearings 6322/C3 and 6316/C3), and the top-terminator box location to minimize installation time and avoid costly modifications.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses across full-load and partial-load conditions, delivering lower operating costs over the motor’s life. In 50 Hz operation, expected full-load efficiency is around 94% plus, translating to tangible energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and fans, and improving total cost of ownership for hazardous-area drives.
Buyers receive a robust, cast-iron, flameproof motor with 1-piece minimum order quantity and Finland-origin manufacturing, which supports reliable supply and service. ROI is driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency, reduced maintenance from IP55/IP protection, and enhanced safety with Exdbeb protection, leading to lower downtime and longer motor life in harsh environments.
