Flameproof Exdbeb protection with an IP55 enclosure minimizes ignition risk in hazardous areas, delivering safer operation for volatile processes and reduced maintenance interruptions. The 630 kW output paired with IE3 premium efficiency cuts energy consumption, delivering measurable cost savings and a faster return on investment in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and fans. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and a robust 2-pole design simplify installation and alignment, reducing commissioning time and spare-parts stock requirements in industrial facilities. With a cast iron frame and bearings rated for demanding environments, the motor offers extended service life and lower maintenance frequency in dirty, high-vibration settings like mining, metals processing, and chemical plants. Certified gas group IIB and insulation class ICFL provide compliance confidence for hazardous-area drives while supporting reliable operation at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient.

FAQs
This model uses a D connection configuration suitable for 500 V, 50 Hz operation with a 2-pole design. Installers should follow IMB3 IM1001 mounting guidelines and position the terminator box at the top for optimal accessibility. The flameproof Exdbeb protection requires compliant conduit and correct enclosure sealing in hazardous-area installations.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces electrical losses during full-load and partial-load conditions, delivering lower energy consumption compared to standard motors. In high-duty applications such as pumps and fans, this translates to meaningful reductions in daily operating costs and a shorter payback period when replacing older IE2 or lower motors.
Yes. The motor is Exdbeb flameproof protected for IIB gas environments and carries an IP55 enclosure rating, aiding safety in hazardous zones. Insulation class ICFL and IMB3 mounting further support reliable operation in challenging plants, while the design supports operation up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude.
Maintenance benefits come from durable cast iron construction, robust bearings (6317M/C3), and a compact IMB3 mounting footprint, which reduce unscheduled downtime. ROI is driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency, extended service life, and lower replacement frequency in demanding applications such as metals processing and chemical processing lines.
The motor’s IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility, 2-pole design, and 400 frame size simplify crane-accessible installations and alignment with existing drives. Its top-access terminator box location aids wiring, while the frame and bearing configuration support stable operation in vibration-prone environments common to mining, cement, and process plants.
