IE4 efficiency delivers measurable operating cost reductions, with Full Load (100%) at 50 Hz achieving 96.6% efficiency and 75% load at 96.7%, improving motor thermal behavior and reducing cooling requirements. This translates to lower energy consumption across continuous-running drives in conveyors, pumps, and processing lines. The Ex ec protection supports safe equipment operation in hazardous zones, lowering risk and enabling compliant installations in IIC gas group environments. IP55 enclosure provides robust dust and water ingress protection for factory floors and outdoor setups, improving uptime and reducing protective enclosure maintenance. The 4-pole, 315 frame design delivers strong starting torque and reliable speed control for IMB3/IM1001 mounting configurations, streamlining integration with existing ABB or third-party systems. Compatibility with 400 V 50 Hz networks, D-connection, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting simplifies procurement, installation, and ongoing service in mixed industrial facilities. Engineered for heat, dust, and operational variability, this motor supports long-life operation at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m, delivering predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs in demanding environments. With Sic-verified insulation class ICFL and a robust mechanical package (cast iron frame, 6319/C3 bearings), maintenance cycles can be extended, reducing spare-part consumption and improving ROI for motor-driven equipment.

FAQs
The motor supports IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator and a D connection configuration. This combination enables a compact, robust installation that aligns with standard frame 315 dimensions and common 400 V 50 Hz electrical networks. The mounting choice reduces assembly time and simplifies alignment with compatible couplings and gearboxes.
At 50 Hz, IE4 efficiency is 96.6% at full load (100%) and 96.7% at 75% load, with 96.4% at 50% load. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is 96.5%, with 75% load at 96.5% and 50% load at 95.9%. These figures translate to lower energy costs and cooler operation across continuous-duty applications.
Yes. The motor is specified with Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC, designed for hazardous area installations. It combines explosion protection with a robust IP55 enclosure, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres while maintaining IEC IE4 efficiency and reliable mechanical performance.
Key certifications include IE4 efficiency, Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation. It uses a cast-iron frame (315) with IMB3 IM1001 mounting, a 4-pole design, and a 400 V, 50 Hz supply. The motor is built for environments with up to 40 °C ambient temperature and 1000 m altitude.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings due to IE4 efficiency at full and partial loads, reduced downtime thanks to rugged IP55 enclosure and robust mechanicals, and longer service intervals from a cast-iron frame and durable bearings. Quick installation with IMB3 IM1001 mounting reduces commissioning time, lowering total cost of ownership for motor-driven systems.
