IE5 efficiency translates into tangible business impact: lower energy bills and reduced heat generation in continuous operation. This 160 kW synchronous reluctance motor supports critical applications such as pumps, compressors, and conveyors while maintaining precise speed control at 50 Hz. Ex ec hazardous-area protection enhances safety and regulatory compliance, enabling operation in zones with explosive atmospheres and simplifying approvals for chemical plants and oil & gas facilities. The IP55 enclosure provides strong dust and water protection in demanding environments, and its compatibility with a 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude ensures stable performance in outdoor or elevated installations. The cast-iron frame size 315 and bearings 6319/C3 deliver durability for heavy-duty equipment like conveyors and presses, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D-End top termination simplify retrofits and long-term serviceability. Electrical design supports straightforward integration: 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, and a D connection configuration, aligning with ABB control ecosystems and facilitating capacity planning with IE5 full-load efficiency data. Overall, this motor reduces maintenance cycles and supports safer, more reliable production lines across challenging environments.

FAQs
The motor uses a D configuration with a 500 V input at 50 Hz and is designed for easy integration into ABB control architectures. It also supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a D-End top terminator box, allowing straightforward retrofits or replacements in existing frames while maintaining alignment with standard ABB drives and safety protocols.
Key specs include 160 kW output, four poles, 50 Hz, 500 V input, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IE5 efficiency. The unit is Ex protection (Exec) for hazardous areas and rated for conditions up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, helping ensure sustained performance in challenging environments.
Yes. It features Ex ec explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, with gas group IIC compatibility and insulation suitable for demanding facilities. IE5 efficiency plus robust mechanical design supports safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and other locations with exposure to dust, moisture, or explosive atmospheres.
With a cast-iron frame size 315 and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, plan for a D-end box on top and a 1204 mm length, 852 mm height, and 590 mm width footprint. Ensure support structures accommodate the 965 kg net weight and confirm alignment with existing mounting standards to minimize retrofit downtime.
Expect energy cost reductions from IE5 efficiency under full and partial loads (typical full-load efficiency around 97.1%). The rugged design, protective IP55 rating, and Ex ec compliance reduce unscheduled downtime and maintenance frequency, lowering total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.
