FAQs
Follow your site’s Ex-compliance procedures, ensure the Exdbeb flameproof enclosure remains intact, use IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and connect via the D configuration. Verify ambient temperature below 40 °C and altitude under 1000 m, then perform alignment and cooling checks. Use certified cables and sealants suitable for Zone IIB environments.
The motor operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, delivering 315 kW with IE3 premium efficiency. It features an 8-pole, 3-phase squirrel cage design, Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. The unit supports a speed-ready, continuous S1 duty and offers reversible rotation on both directions.
Yes. It is designed for hazardous-area applications with Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB classification, enabling safe operation in Zone IIB environments. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation further support reliable performance in chemically aggressive surroundings and elevated temperatures typical of process plants.
The motor delivers IE3 premium efficiency with full-load efficiency around 94.6% at 50 Hz (and up to ~95.0% at 60 Hz), with 75% and 50% load values around 94.8% and 94.4% respectively. Higher efficiency translates to meaningful energy savings and reduced operating costs across continuous-duty applications like pumps and compressors.
The motor uses frame size 400 and IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a top terminator box and 8-pole design. It measures about 1891 mm in length, 1071 mm in height, and 840 mm in width, with a net weight of 3020 kg and a gross weight of 3060 kg.
