The motor delivers IE5 efficiency and Exeb protection, reducing energy use and enabling safe operation in hazardous zones while supporting compliance with strict industrial standards. This translates to lower operating costs and less downtime in continuous-process environments, especially where energy marginal gains matter for overall plant performance. The IP55 enclosure and IIC gas-group rating provide robust protection against dust, moisture, and gas ingress, ensuring reliability in tough manufacturing settings and enabling longer service intervals with fewer unscheduled shutdowns. Cast-iron frame, 225 mm size, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting offer mechanical durability and straightforward installation in OEM equipment and retrofit projects, minimizing integration time and facilitating standardized maintenance workflows. The 37 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz in a four-pole configuration supports scalable drive trains, while the IE5 performance at partial loads helps meet stringent efficiency targets without overdesign. ABB EcoSolutions, WEEE compliance, and EPD-backed sustainability data reinforce responsible procurement and lifecycle planning. The motor’s hazardous-area readiness, combined with a compact footprint and a 1-piece minimum order, makes it ideal for plant expansions and modernization programs where space, cost, and safety are paramount.

FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection, 500 V input at 50 Hz, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatible with standard ABB drives. Ensure frame size 225 and a cast-iron enclosure installation in a location rated for IP55 protection. Verify ambient conditions up to 40 C and altitude up to 1000 m, and confirm Exeb suitability for your hazardous-area zone. This alignment minimizes rework and ensures a smooth retrofit or new installation with predictable performance.
The motor offers IE5 efficiency with full-load efficiency around 96.3% and good partial-load performance (75% and 50%). It provides 37 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz with a four-pole configuration, a 470 V operating voltage, and a 4P design. The Y connection supports straightforward wiring, and the 4-pole arrangement favors moderate speed with strong torque for demanding drives.
Yes. The Exeb protection, IIC gas group rating, and IP55 enclosure make it suitable for hazardous-area equipment in chemical processing and related industries. Its IE5 efficiency reduces energy use in continuous processes, while its robust enclosure and mounting ensure reliable operation in tough environments. Always confirm local ATEX/IECEx compliance requirements for your installation site.
Key certifications include Exeb hazardous-area protection, IP55 enclosure, IE5 energy efficiency, and conformity to the IMB3/IM1001 mounting standard. The motor also aligns with WEEE category guidelines and ships withEnvironmental Product Declaration data for synchronous reluctance motors. It carries Finland origin and a tariff classification of 85015230, supporting regulated procurement and sustainability reporting.
Expect lower lifecycle costs thanks to IE5 efficiency and robust cast-iron construction with durable bearings (6313/C3, 6212/C3). The Exeb protection reduces shock and corrosion risks in hazardous zones, decreasing maintenance downtime. ROI improves with energy savings, extended bearing life, and simplified integration with ABB drives, especially in modernization projects using IMB3 mounting for quick replacement without extensive rework.
