Exde flameproof protection with Exdbeb certification and Gas Group IIB reduces ignition risk in hazardous zones, enabling compliant operation in chemical plants and oil & gas facilities while minimizing downtime and delay. The motor’s IE2 efficiency (Full Load 95.0%, 75% load 94.6%, 50% load 93.7%) delivers measurable energy savings and lower operating costs across continuous processes and batch operations. IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and Temperature Class T4 ensure reliable performance in warm, dusty environments up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, supporting uptime in remote or harsh installations. The robust cast-iron frame (Frame Size 400) with bearing specification 6317M/C3 and IM Class IMB3 IM1001 improves durability and long bearing life, reducing maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership. A top terminator box and standard 400-frame footprint favor quick, error-free installation and straightforward retrofits with existing motors. In short, this motor blends safety, efficiency, and rugged build for demanding industrial applications in hazardous areas.

FAQs
Yes. The motor uses a standard 400 frame with a top terminator box, which aligns with common IEC mounting interfaces and easy retrofits. Its IMB3 IM1001 mounting class supports reliable alignment with compatible couplings and gearboxes, minimizing installation complexity in refurbished plants or new builds.
The motor uses Exde flameproof protection with Exdbeb certification and Gas Group IIB, providing a high safety envelope for explosive atmospheres. IP55 protection guards against dust and moisture ingress, while the IC411 insulation and Temperature Class T4 support reliable operation in hot, dusty environments typical of chemical plants and refineries.
This motor is IE2 rated with Full Load efficiency at 95.0%, and partial-load values of 94.6% at 75% and 93.7% at 50% load. It operates under S1 duty, indicating continuous, steady-state operation suitable for pumps, fans, and compressors in hazardous zones where energy efficiency directly reduces operating costs.
Key certifications and ratings include IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, Temperature Class T4, Altitude up to 1000 m, Ambient temperature up to 40 °C, and Gas Group IIB. The Exde/Exdbeb flameproof protection ensures regulatory compliance in ATEX/IECEx environments and supports safe operation in hazardous facilities.
The rugged cast-iron frame and bearing 6317M/C3 deliver durability and long bearing life, reducing maintenance frequency. The Exde flameproof design lowers risk of ignition-related downtime, while IE2 efficiency lowers energy costs. Combined with a top-termination, 400-frame footprint and Finnish manufacturing, this motor offers predictable maintenance intervals and a favorable total cost of ownership.
