Flameproof Exdbeb protection provides a robust barrier against ignition sources in explosive atmospheres, reducing risk and enabling compliance in oil, gas, and chemical processing environments. This directly translates to lower risk of costly shutdowns and insurance costs, while enabling continuous operation in hazardous zones. IE2 efficiency at full load (95%) delivers tangible energy savings across daily operation, lowering total cost of ownership and supporting sustainability targets in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors. The IP55 enclosure protects the motor from dust and water ingress on factory floors or outdoor installations, ensuring reliability under harsh ambient conditions up to 40 °C and at elevations up to 1000 m. A cast iron frame with 6324/C3 and 6319/C3 bearings provides rugged durability, extended service life, and reduced maintenance intervals in vibration-intensive environments like mining conveyors and processing lines. The 6-pole, 400-frame design supports predictable speeds suitable for fixed-speed drives in S1 duty, while direction of rotation being bidirectional offers installation flexibility for conveyors and mixers. Top-termination box placement simplifies wiring and service, enabling faster commissioning and easier upgrades in retrofit projects.

FAQs
For safe installation in hazardous zones, mount the motor on a stable base, ensure adequate clearance for cooling, and connect to a compliant flameproof enclosure. The Exdbeb protection and IP55 rating support installation in indoor or outdoor hazardous environments, while the top terminator box simplifies wiring and maintenance access, reducing commissioning time.
Yes. It features Exdbeb flameproof protection and a Gas Group IIB rating, designed for explosive atmospheres. The IP55 enclosure offers dust and water ingress protection, and the unit operates under ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring compliance across many hazardous-area installations.
The motor achieves IE2 efficiency, with Full Load (100%) at 95.0% and Partial Loads around 94.8–94.3%, delivering lower energy consumption during steady-state operation. This helps reduce operating costs in continuous duty applications such as pumps, fans, and mixers without compromising performance in critical processes.
Ideal for chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, mining conveyors, and heavy-duty pumps. The flameproof Exdbeb rating, IP55 protection, and robust cast iron frame make it well-suited for rugged, high-hazard environments where reliable, compliant motor performance is essential.
Expect longer service life from the cast iron frame and precision bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3), which reduce maintenance frequency. The IE2 efficiency translates to ongoing energy savings, speeding up ROI in applications with continuous operation and high duty cycles while meeting stringent safety standards in hazardous plants.
