FAQs
This motor features Exdbeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for Zone 1/Zone 2 environments. For installation, use IMB3/IM1001 mounting, top termination box access, and ensure compatible couplings and shielded cables. Verify voltage and frequency (500 V, 50 Hz) and confirm ambient temperature limits (up to 40 °C) are within site conditions.
It integrates Exdbeb protection, a robust IP55 enclosure, and an IIB gas group rating, combined with ICFL insulation. This accelerates regulatory compliance, reduces ignition risk, and supports longer service intervals in chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas facilities while maintaining premium efficiency (IE3).
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 560 kW output with 95.8% full-load efficiency (IE3), frame 400, and 6 poles. The 60 Hz data aligns with the same frame and torque characteristics, with slight efficiency variation typical of IE3 motors. These metrics support reliable commissioning with standard V/Hz control and VFD compatibility.
IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a top terminator box simplify alignment, wiring, and service access, reducing commissioning time and field labor. Cast iron frame and bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3) extend service intervals, lowering maintenance costs and downtime in continuous-process environments.
Yes. Exdbeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and the gas group IIB rating collectively address major ATEX/IECEx considerations. The insulation class ICLF and operating conditions (altitude up to 1000 m, ambient 40 °C) support safe operation within typical refinery, chemical plant, and mining environments.
