Feature — Exde flameproof protection protects ignition-prone equipment rooms in gas environments. Business Impact — lowers the risk of explosions, reduces shutdowns, and supports regulatory compliance in hazardous areas. Application — ideal for oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining operations where gas group IIB atmospheres demand robust safety margins and reliable uptime. The Exde enclosure also aligns with typical electrical protection schemes and simplifies compliance documentation for audits. Feature — IP55 ingress protection guards windings and bearings from dust and water during washdowns and outdoor exposure. Business Impact — extends service intervals, lowers maintenance costs, and maintains performance in challenging environments. Application — conveyors, pumps, and fans in process plants benefit from durable operation with minimal intervention. Compatibility with ABB drives and motor starters adds installation flexibility and reduced integration risk. Feature — eight-pole design delivers stable torque and predictable speeds for continuous S1 duty. Business Impact — supports smoother process control, enables efficient gearbox matching, and reduces energy consumption due to steadier load profiles. Application — heavy-duty conveyors, mixers, and mills in chemical, oil & gas, and mineral processing facilities. The design also facilitates straightforward mounting on standard bases and alignment with IEC frames. Feature — cast-iron frame 400 and bearings 6324/C3 deliver rugged durability and vibration tolerance. Business Impact — increases MTBF, lowers spare parts consumption, and improves lifecycle cost. Application — equipment trains in rugged environments like crushers or pump skids where reliability drives production uptime. The additional bearing arrangement NDE 6319/C3 enhances bearing life under high-start torque conditions. Feature — operating conditions include 40 °C ambient temperature and up to 1000 m altitude with IC411 insulation and a T4 rating. Business Impact — ensures safe operation in remote or hot climates without specialized cooling or derating, simplifying maintenance planning. Application — offshore platforms, mining camps, and remote installations where long service intervals and dependable power are critical. Product weight and packaging—approximately 3.52 tonnes net in a single pallet—aid logistics planning and site installation.

FAQs

For hazardous locations, ensure Exde flameproof protection is maintained, verify IP55 enclosure integrity, and mount on standard bases suitable for a 400 frame. Check alignment with M3KP motor controls, solid grounding, and proper routing of cables to maintain the flameproof integrity. Confirm installation documentation aligns with Gas Group IIB classifications and local electrical codes.
Key specs include an eight-pole design for stable torque under S1 duty, a 400 frame with cast-iron construction, and IC411 insulation with a T4 rating. These features yield predictable performance, improved MTBF, and dependable operation in hot, dusty, or high-altitude environments while maintaining energy efficiency under continuous load.
Yes. The Exde flameproof protection and IIB gas-group rating make it suitable for oil & gas processing, chemical processing, and mining equipment. Its rugged frame and 8-pole design support continuous operation in demanding processes, while IP55 protection reduces maintenance needs in harsh environments.
The motor features Exde explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and Gas Group IIB classification. These attributes indicate readiness for hazardous-area installations where explosion protection and electrical insulation ratings are regulatory requirements.
Expect longer intervals between servicing due to robust cast-iron construction and protective features. Lower downtime, reduced risk of ignition-related incidents, and compatibility with ABB drive ecosystems help optimize lifecycle costs. Plan for heavier initial handling (weight around 3.52 tonnes) and use standard bases and palletized shipping to manage installation ROI effectively.
