IE3 efficiency delivers meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty plants, where every kilowatt matters. Full Load efficiency around 91% and strong partial-load performance reduce running costs on pumps, conveyors, and fans while meeting energy regulations. The 4-pole design provides stable speeds and predictable torque, ideal for process control. It also integrates with standard ABB installations and mounting practices, easing commissioning during upgrades. Ex protection and Gas Group IIC certification enable safe operation in hazardous areas. The Ex Exec protection class supports explosion-safe performance, while the IIC gas group broadens compatible fuels. This combination reduces the need for specialized units and simplifies procurement for oil, chemical, and mining facilities. The design also aligns with global safety expectations, supporting cross-border deployments and streamlined maintenance planning. IP55 ingress protection coupled with IC411 insulation ensures robust performance against dust, moisture, and elevated temperatures. This resilience minimizes unplanned downtime, extends motor life, and reduces maintenance cycles in dusty plants, outdoor installations, or hot environments. The result is steadier process performance with fewer spare parts. A cast-iron frame (size 160) with 6209-2Z/C3 bearings and IM class IMB3 IM1001 delivers durable service in demanding conditions. The rugged construction supports long intervals between overhauls, while the 1000 m altitude and 50°C ambient tolerance keep the motor reliable across sites. The design tolerates frequent starts and stops, reducing thermal stress and wear in conveyor and pump lines. Installation and compatibility are streamlined by a D-End top termination box, a straightforward 1-piece unit, and a standard procurement path, with Made To Order set to No. This reduces commissioning time, minimizes wiring errors, and ensures consistent service parts availability for routine maintenance. The standardized footprint also supports easy retrofits and predictable field service, enhancing overall uptime and asset reliability across plants. Industry insights show that IE3, Ex protection, and rugged cast iron frames deliver measurable ROI through energy savings, reduced maintenance, and safer operations in hazardous processing lines.

FAQs
This motor features Ex protection (Exec) and IP55 sealing, suitable for hazardous zones. Plan for proper grounding, D-End top terminal box access, and sufficient clearance for cooling. Ensure mounting aligns with a 160 frame and 4-pole configuration, and verify ambient conditions (up to 50°C) and altitude (up to 1000 m) are within spec to maintain reliability.
The motor delivers IE3 efficiency with Full Load around 91%, and efficiently handles partial loads (90.9% at 75%, 89.5% at 50%). It operates under Duty S1, with Voltage Code D, and insulation rated ICLF. It is a 4-pole design, oriented for both rotation directions, and protected for hazardous environments with Ex Exec protection and Gas Group IIC suitability.
Yes. The 4-pole, 3-phase design supports stable torque for pumps, conveyors, and fans in continuous-duty operations. Its Ex protection and IIC gas group make it appropriate for hazardous areas in oil, chemical, and mining facilities, while IP55 and IC411 insulation provide resilience against dust, moisture, and heat, reducing unplanned downtime in demanding settings.
Key certifications include IE3 energy efficiency, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, Ex Exec explosion protection, and Gas Group IIC suitability. The motor is designed for 1000 m altitude and 50°C ambient, with a cast iron frame and 160 frame size, meeting rigorous industrial safety and performance expectations for hazardous-area installations.
The rugged cast-iron frame, 6209-2Z/C3 bearings, and IMB3 IM1001 class deliver long service life with fewer routine rebuilds. Energy savings from IE3 efficiency reduce operating costs, while IP55/IC411 protect against harsh environments. Standardized mounting and a top-entry terminal box enable quicker installation and parts availability, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over the motor’s life.
