FAQs
For safe installation in hazardous zones, use Exeb protection-rated equipment and mount the motor in an IP55 enclosure with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The unit operates on a 400 V 50 Hz supply, supports D-connection, and is rated for ambient up to 40°C and altitude to 1000 m. Ensure proper grounding and motor starter coordination with drive systems.
IE5 efficiency reduces copper and iron losses across full- and partial-load conditions, delivering measurable energy savings. At full load, efficiency is 96.2%, with similar high performance at 75% and 50% loads. For critical continuous-duty applications, this translates to lower kWh consumption, reduced cooling requirements, and a shorter payback period on energy-intensive processes.
Yes. The motor is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz operation with a D-connection configuration and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, making it compatible with standard ABB drives and modern control platforms. Its rugged frame and Ex protection support reliable integration in safety-rated systems, simplifying commissioning and ongoing control.
Best suited for heavy industry drives such as pumps, compressors, and fans in hazardous environments (IIC gas group) where energy efficiency and reliability matter. The 4-pole, 45 kW output, IP55 protection, and Exeb certification make it ideal for chemical plants, mining operations, and processing facilities requiring robust safety and uptime.
ROI is enhanced by IE5 energy efficiency, reduced maintenance due to a cast-iron frame and robust IMB3 mounting, and fewer parts susceptible to wear. The Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure minimize unplanned downtime in hazardous zones. Lifecycle costs drop through lower energy bills, extended mean time between failures, and streamlined service with compatible ABB drive ecosystems.
