Exdbeb flameproof protection plus IIB gas group minimize ignition risk in hazardous zones, enabling safe start‑up and continuous operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities, with ATEX/IECEx compliance that lowers insurance costs and downtime. IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy consumption for continuous duty pumps and fans, delivering measurable operating cost savings while maintaining reliable torque and speed control under 50 Hz and 60 Hz conditions. The 160 kW, 8‑pole design in a Frame Size 355 supports robust performance across 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperatures, improving process stability in challenging environments. IP55 enclosure, IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, and a top‑located terminator box simplify installation, wiring, and serviceability, decreasing commissioning time and spare‑parts complexity. Cast‑iron construction and precise bearing arrangements (6322/C3, 6316/C3) reduce vibration and extend motor life in heavy-duty duty cycles. Origin Finland (FI) with tariff 85015381 supports clear procurement and traceability, while 1 piece MOQ and non‑made‑to‑order status streamline stocking and delivery for project timelines.
