YBBPX3 Series High-Efficiency Flameproof Variable-Frequency Three-Phase Induction Motor

The high-efficiency flameproof variable-frequency machine, carrying both the underground mining rating and the surface industrial rating.

YBBPX3 flameproof variable-frequency three-phase induction motor

YBBPX3 is a totally enclosed high-efficiency flameproof variable-frequency three-phase induction motor, built to GB/T 3836.1-2021 and GB/T 3836.2-2021.

Two markings are published: Ex db I Mb for underground mining, and Ex db IIB T1 Gb to T4 Gb for surface industrial plant with a maximum surface temperature class no lower than T4. That dual coverage is the practical difference from YBBP.

Cooling is IC416, a separately driven fan, so the machine holds its cooling across the whole speed range instead of losing it as the shaft slows.

Standards and certification

  • GB/T 3836.1-2021
  • GB/T 3836.2-2021 (flameproof enclosure "d")

Typical applications

  • Variable-speed hazardous-area drives in surface process plant (Ex db IIB)
  • Underground mining variable-speed drives (Ex db I Mb)
  • Chemical and petrochemical plant where speed control and flameproof certification are both required

Selection guide

The industrial rating is gas group IIB — up to and including ethylene. Hydrogen and acetylene atmospheres need a different machine; tell us before selection if your classification is IIC.
Ex db I Mb and Ex db IIB are separate certificates on the same series. Specify which one your installation is inspected against, because the documentation that ships with the motor differs.
Send us the drive make and model with the enquiry. Flameproof certification is tied to the tested conditions, so the drive is part of the specification rather than an afterthought.

FAQ

Certification copies for the explosion-protection marking, and the dimension drawings for your frame size, are issued on request. Tell us the area classification, gas or dust group and temperature class for your site.

Certificates and test reports are issued against the specific model and rating rather than the series, so we send the ones that apply to your order. Tell us the rating and the market and we will send them.
