FAQs
Begin by placing the motor on a certified IMB5/IM3001 base, align to the 2-pole, frame 400 footprint, and attach the top-terminator box for secure wiring. Verify Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 seals before energizing, and connect to a 500 V, 50 Hz supply with suitable overload protection. Follow ATEX/IECEx installation guidelines for safe operation.
Yes. The motor is designed for hazardous zones with Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB classification, plus IP55 protection and IC411 insulation. These specifications support safe operation in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities, and the robust enclosure assists with high-ambient conditions and regulatory compliance in demanding environments.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses under full and partial load, translating to lower electricity costs and cooler operating temperatures. For large drives such as pumps and compressors, this improvement can significantly cut annual energy consumption, improve thermal management, and extend bearing life, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership in manufacturing and processing plants.
Routine maintenance should focus on bearing condition, lubrication intervals for the 6317M/C3 bearings, and verification of enclosure integrity. Schedule inspections for terminal connections, verify IMB5/IM3001 mounting integrity, and check for signs of corrosion or damage in the Exdbeb housing. Regular electrical tests and preventive maintenance align with IEC standards for hazardous locations.
Exdbeb protection ensures the motor enclosure provides flameproof integrity in explosive atmospheres, enabling compliance with ATEX/IECEx standards and Gas Group IIB requirements. This reduces ignition risk and helps ensure safe operation in hazardous zones, facilitating safer maintenance practices, fewer shutdowns, and smoother audits in process industries.
