Non-sparking IE2 cast iron design improves safety and regulatory compliance in zones IIC, supporting safer startup/shutdown sequences in chemical plants and offshore rigs. This design reduces ignition risk, simplifies permit handling, and lowers insurance exposure during maintenance. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation ensure reliable operation in dusty and moist environments, while Ex protection offers compliance for hazardous areas. The combination translates to longer mean time between failures and fewer field service calls, especially in outdoor or tank farm installations. IE2 efficiency class lowers operating costs over the motor's life, a meaningful contributor to sustainability goals in manufacturing lines and mining operations. When used with standard drives, this motor reduces energy consumption without sacrificing torque or starting performance. Cast iron frame 355, bearing 6316/C3, and IM B5 IM3001 alignment support straightforward installation and interchangeability with existing ABB and generic frames. The D-End top terminator box and 2-pole design simplify wiring and service access, reducing commissioning time and improving reliability. Designed for ambient temperatures up to 50 C, altitude up to 1000 m, and operating in S1 duty, this motor maintains performance in challenging environments. Its 2-pole configuration and 355 frame suit mid- to high-torque applications in continuous operation.

FAQs
This motor uses a 355 frame with a D-End top terminator box and IM B5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, which simplifies wiring and alignment in constrained layouts. Its compact footprint, robust cast iron housing, and bearing arrangement (6316/C3) enable straightforward retrofits and quicker commissioning in constrained machines or climate-controlled enclosures.
The motor runs at IE2 efficiency with a 2-pole configuration suitable for continuous operation (S1). Full Load and Partial Load efficiency data indicate nominal performance around 95% at common load points. This makes it suitable for steady, high-torque applications in manufacturing, mining, and process industries while supporting energy compliance goals.
Yes. It features Ex protection with Gas Group IIC and IP55 ingress protection, along with IC411 insulation and a T3 temperature class. These characteristics support safe use in hazardous zones, enabling compliant operation in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore installations where ignition risk must be mitigated.
The 355 frame with cast iron construction and 6316/C3 bearings prioritizes durability and longevity in harsh environments. The IM class (IMB5 IM3001) supports robust mounting, reducing misalignment risks. Regular maintenance intervals are typically longer due to the robust housing and sealed IP55 enclosure, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over time.
Applications in chemical processing, mining, and oil and gas benefit most from IE2 efficiency combined with hazardous-area ratings. The motor’s rugged build, low maintenance needs, and reliable startup performance translate into energy savings, reduced downtime, and easier compliance reporting, delivering tangible ROI in continuous-process environments.
