YBX5

YBX5 Series High-Efficiency Flameproof Three-Phase Induction Motor

The top flameproof efficiency grade — grade 1 of GB 18613—2020, corresponding to IE5 — built as a focused mid-power range rather than a full frame span.

YBX series flameproof three-phase induction motor

YBX5 is a totally enclosed high-efficiency flameproof three-phase induction motor meeting grade 1 of GB 18613—2020, the highest of the three grades (YBX3 is grade 3, YBX4 grade 2).

It covers H200 to H280 and 15 to 90 kW — a deliberately narrower band than YBX3 and YBX4, which span H80 to H355. That band is where continuous hazardous-area drives cluster, and where the efficiency premium returns fastest.

The published marking is the industrial rating Ex db IIB T4 Gb. Unlike YBX3 and YBX4, a separate mining rating is not published for this series — if you need Ex db I Mb, specify YBX3 or YBX4.

Selection guide

The published marking for YBX5 is the factory rating Ex db IIB T4 Gb. For underground mining duty (Ex db I Mb), use YBX3 or YBX4 — those carry the mining certificate.
In this power band on continuous duty, usually yes. Hazardous-area drives tend to run continuously by nature — ventilation, process pumps, compressors — which is exactly the load profile that repays an efficiency grade.
As with YBX3 and YBX4, the certification is gas group IIB. Hydrogen and acetylene atmospheres (group IIC) need a different machine.
