YBX3 Explosion-Proof Motor: Safe and Efficient Power for Hazardous Environments
Motors operating in explosive environments, such as petrochemical and mining industries, often encounter insufficient protection (limited to Ex d IIB), overheating issues (which accelerate insulation degradation), and low efficiency (≤85% under IE1). These challenges can result in safety incidents and significant energy waste. The Yimai YBX3 explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motor addresses these concerns by providing comprehensive safety features, including reinforced enclosures, low-loss windings, and advanced cooling systems. The YBX3 explosion-proof motor achieves Ex d IIC T4 certification, meets IE3 efficiency standards (≥94%), and reduces temperature rise by 25%, thereby enhancing reliability for hazardous operations.
Following a gas explosion caused by motor overheating at a Shandong oil platform, the decision was made to transition to the Yimai YBX3 motor in 2024. This change successfully maintained operating temperatures below 65℃, reduced energy consumption by 22% (achieving annual savings of $96,000), and eliminated failures through anti-corrosion coatings. The YBX3 three-phase asynchronous motor ensures 100% compliance with explosion-proof standards, delivers annual maintenance savings of $52,000, and increases production uptime by 30%.
The design of YBX3 motor‘s explosive proof structure and parameters refers to IEC60079-1 “Structure and test of explosive proof housing of Electrical equipment” and EN50018 “Electrical equipment for explosive environment ” d “. The rated voltage and rated frequency of YBX3 explosion-proof motor are 380V-50Hz/60Hz, protection grade is IP55, insulation class is F and cooling method is IC411. We have three mounting types, IMB3, IMB5, and IMB35. The series of YBX3 explosion-proof three-phase asynchronous motors meet IEC standards for power rating and mounting dimensions.
Whether you’re working in offshore rigs, biopharma labs, or battery plants, the YBX3 explosion-proof motor is designed to provide you with unparalleled safety and efficiency, tailored to meet your specific needs. Consulting our Yimai team for custom hazardous-area solutions!
