FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, verify Ex protection rating Exdbeb, ensure IP55 enclosure integrity, and use IMB3/IM1001 mounting with the top-entry terminator box. Confirm voltage, frequency (500 V, 50 Hz), and that the D connection configuration is correctly implemented. Plan for adequate clearance and cooling at ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, and follow lockout/tagout procedures during commissioning.
The motor delivers 560 kW output power at 6 poles with a 400 frame. It operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, and achieves IE3 premium efficiency with Full Load efficiency around 95.8%. It uses a 3-phase squirrel cage design, S1 duty, and Ex protection for safe operation in hazardous environments.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, IIB gas group rating, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation make it appropriate for hazardous area applications like chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas plants. Its robust frame and reliable IMB3 mounting further support tough, continuous-duty operations in demanding industrial settings.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection for explosive atmospheres, IP55 enclosure rating, IE3 efficiency class, IC411 insulation, and gas-group IIB compatibility. It is designed for duty type S1 and operates at 50 Hz and 500 V, with a frame size 400 and 6 poles to meet industrial performance requirements.
The combination of IE3 efficiency, Ex protection, and robust cast-iron construction reduces energy costs, minimizes unplanned downtime, and extends service intervals. With top-entry wiring and IMB3 mounting, installation and retrofit projects are faster, while the 6-pole, 560 kW design provides reliable torque for pumps and processing lines in asset-intensive facilities.
