YBX3280-2 selection & installation — Flameproof High-efficiency Motor by Manufacturer

YBX3280-2 is a high-performance Flameproof High-efficiency Motor built by the manufacturer, rated approx. 85 kW, voltage 380V / 660V, synchronous speed 3000 r/min, protection Ex d ⅡB T4 Gb, efficiency IE3（GB 18613-2020 2级）. This guide covers model meaning, specifications, applications and ordering.

1. What YBX3280-2 means: series ≠ model

Many buyers treat “YBX3” as a full model — a common mistake. The series code is only a product family; a complete motor model must include the frame size and pole count. For YBX3280-2:

• YBX3 — series code, Flameproof High-efficiency Motor;
• 280 — frame size (center height in mm);
• -2 — pole count, 2 poles → synchronous speed 3000 r/min.

Only YBX3280-2 is the unique, orderable model; “YBX3” alone cannot pin down the spec.

7. Ordering notes

• State full model, power, voltage, speed/poles, mounting (IMB3/B5/V1) and protection/Ex level.
• Specify environment (temp, altitude, humidity, medium) and starting method (DOL/VFD/soft-start).
• Request special shaft, dual shaft, tachogenerator, encoder or brake at order time.
• Confirm cooling (IC411/IC416/IC611/IC81W) and matching cooler / inverter brand.
• Allow 10–15% power margin; confirm lead time, warranty and site commissioning scope.

8. FAQ

Q: What is the difference between “YBX3” and YBX3280-2?

A: “YBX3” is only the Flameproof High-efficiency Motor family code; YBX3280-2 adds frame and poles and is the orderable spec.

Q: What is the rated power of YBX3280-2?

A: Estimated approx. 85 kW (380V / 660V); final value per datasheet and order confirmation.

Q: Is frame 280 large? Any mounting notes?

A: 280 mm is a medium-large frame; bolt pattern per IMB3, foundation must be leveled, on-site guidance recommended.

Q: What is the protection / Ex level?

A: Protection Ex d ⅡB T4 Gb; for hazardous areas confirm the Ex mark and gas group.

Q: Why does efficiency IE3（GB 18613-2020 2级） matter?

A: Higher efficiency cuts running cost and heat, ideal for continuous duty with short payback.

Q: How is YBX3280-2 cooled?

A: Cooling IC411; keep cooling water/air path clear under full load.

Q: Can it be customized?

A: Yes — voltage, speed, shaft, mounting, sensors and coating; state requirements at order.

Q: Where to get quote and datasheet for YBX3280-2?
