High IE5 efficiency with 37 kW output lowers running costs for continuous-duty drives. The machine achieves full-load efficiency of 95.8% and partial-load efficiency around 95.9% at 50 Hz, directly reducing electricity consumption in conveyors and pumps. In practice, this translates to lower operating costs and improved process stability across 24/7 operations. Explosion protection Exeb supports safe operation in potentially explosive environments. The motor is rated for gas group IIC and IP55, enabling installation in chemical plants, offshore facilities, and manufacturing lines without additional protection hardware. This simplifies procurement and reduces installation time. Cast-iron frame (250) with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and IP55 enclosure boosts durability and service life. The 4-pole design and Y connection support smooth, reliable starting and torque delivery. Bearing arrangement (6315/C3 & 6210/C3) minimizes maintenance and extends life under heavy loads. Rated for 500 V at 50 Hz, altitude 1000 m, and ambient 40 °C, the motor offers broad compatibility with global electrical grids. Insulation class ICLF and IP55 protection assure safe, compliant operation in harsh environments. The ABB EcoSolutions approach and Environmental Product Declaration support green-building and corporate sustainability goals, while net weight and robust packaging facilitate safe handling and installation planning.

FAQs
This motor is designed for Exeb protection and uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with a Y connection and 4-pole design. It is suitable for hazardous zones (IIC gas group) and IP55 rated enclosures, simplifying installation in chemical plants or offshore facilities. Plan for frame size 250, ensure compliant cable entry and proper termination, and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency targets with Full Load around 95.8% and Partial Load near 95.9% at 50 Hz. This high efficiency translates to tangible energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors, reducing running costs and improving process stability without sacrificing torque or reliability.
Yes. The motor is specified for Input Voltage 500 V at 50 Hz and uses a Y (star) connection configuration. It supports a 4-pole design, frame size 250, and 37 kW output, making it compatible with common industrial power distributions while maintaining robust performance in adverse environments.
Key certifications include Exeb explosion protection, IP55 protection, and IE5 efficiency. It also features IC411 insulation class, Temperature Class T3, and Gas Group IIC suitability. These attributes support compliance in hazardous industries and help meet safety and environmental standards across global facilities.
Upgrading delivers energy savings from IE5 efficiency, lower downtime due to robust IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and reduced maintenance from durable cast-iron framing and bearing selection. The Exeb protection allows safe operation in hazardous zones, potentially lowering insurance costs and enabling longer service intervals, which together drive a favorable total cost of ownership.
