The flameproof Exdbeb protection is specifically engineered for IIB gas environments, reducing the risk of ignition and enabling safe operation in hazardous zones, which translates to lower risk management costs and greater uptime. The 2-pole, 400 frame, and cast-iron construction deliver high torque readiness and rugged durability, supporting continuous S1 duty in demanding processes such as pumps and fans. IE2 efficiency drives measurable energy savings, decreasing operating costs over life with predictable performance across full and partial loads (Full Load 95.0%, at 75% 94.6%, at 50% 93.7%). The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation class guard against dust and moisture ingress while supporting reliable operation at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Top-termination box location simplifies electrical connections and facilitates retrofit into existing installations. The Exde motor’s gas-group IIB rating broadens application viability in petrochemical, mining, and chemical processing facilities, reducing the need for multiple SKUs across sites. Compatibility with standard 400-frame mounting eases procurement and spare-part provisioning, while the robust bearings (6317M/C3) and sealed design help minimize maintenance cycles and unplanned downtime.

FAQs
Install with the top-termination box and 400 frame in a compliant Exde installation. Verify Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group suitability, and maintain IP55 protection. Use correct cable entries, fittings, and surge protection, and observe ambient temperature 40°C and altitude up to 1000 m to prevent derating.
The motor carries Exdbeb flameproof protection for Exde duty in IIB gas environments, aligning with ATEX/IECEx scope. It provides IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a T4 temperature class, which supports safe operation in hazardous zones and reduces documentation and testing for regulatory compliance.
Yes. The design specifies altitude up to 1000 m and an ambient temperature rating of 40 °C. With a heat-tolerant insulation class (ICLF) and solid cast-iron frame, it maintains consistent performance and protects against overheating in challenging environments.
It achieves IE2 efficiency, with Full Load at 95.0% and partial-load performance of 94.6% at 75% and 93.7% at 50%. This supports meaningful energy savings across varying load profiles typical in pumps, fans, and conveyors while maintaining reliable torque and speed in continuous duty.
The motor uses a 2-pole, 400-frame, cast-iron enclosure with bearings 6317M/C3 and a top-termination box for easy wiring. It supports standard 400-frame mounting, is suitable for single-piece orders (MOQ 1) and ships in heavy, durable packaging. With Exde protection and robust construction, long service intervals and lower maintenance costs are achievable.
