Flameproof Exde protection provides safe operation in explosive atmospheres, reducing risk and ensuring compliance with hazardous-area standards, which translates to lower project insurance costs and fewer downtime events in offshore and chemical processing facilities. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers measurable energy savings in continuous duty environments, improving total cost of ownership and supporting sustainability targets while maintaining high torque at starting and during load changes. IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation enable dependable operation under dust, moisture, and elevated temperature conditions common in plants, extending service intervals and reducing maintenance labor. The 355 frame size with 8 poles, coupled with 500 V, 50 Hz supply, ensures compatibility with standard VFDs and drive systems, simplifying retrofits and new installs, and enabling smoother integration into existing automation architectures. Cast Iron frame, robust bearings (6322/C3 and 6316/C3), and IMB5/IM3001 mounting deliver longevity and resilience in demanding environments, lowering replacement costs and supporting long-term uptime. Top termination box location and compact 1479 mm depth support straightforward installation and service access, reducing commissioning time and enabling safer setup in constrained plant layouts.

FAQs
Plan for Exde rated enclosure mounting with IMB5/IM3001 bases, ensure proper clearance and cable glands for 500 V wiring, and verify top termination box access fits the plant layout. The motor’s IM mounting, unique frame 355 footprint, and top box location simplify wiring and serviceability in confined hazardous-zone installations.
It delivers 160 kW continuous output at 50 Hz with a 500 V supply, 8 poles, and frame size 355. IE3 efficiency is confirmed by measured full-load values around 94.3% at 100% load, with modest drops at partial loads, supporting energy savings in steady-state and ramped-load operations.
Yes, the motor features Exde flameproof protection (Exdbeb) and is designed for IIB gas environments, with IP55 protection and ICFL insulation. These attributes support compliance in hazardous zones, particularly for chemical and petrochemical applications, alongside robust mechanical design for continuous duty.
The 8-pole configuration provides a balance of speed and torque for heavy-duty loads, while the 355 frame ensures compatibility with standard mounting patterns and couplings. The motor supports 500 V 50 Hz systems and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, facilitating straightforward integration with common VFDs and control architectures.
The IE3 efficiency class reduces energy costs over the motor’s lifetime, contributing to faster payback in continuous-duty operations. Robust flameproof construction and long-bearing life minimize maintenance frequency, while IP55 and ICFL insulation extend service intervals in dusty, hot environments, delivering lower total cost of ownership.
