Explosion protection and rugged construction directly translate to safer, compliant operation in hazardous locations. Exdb flameproof protection, Gas Group IIB classification, and IP55 enclosure minimize ignition risks and expose operators to fewer environmental hazards, boosting site safety and regulatory confidence. The motor’s IC411 insulation and IE2 efficiency deliver reliable performance under 50 °C ambient temperatures and at elevations up to 1000 m, supporting energy optimization without compromising durability. A cast iron frame (160) with a robust 6309-2Z/C3 bearing set provides long service life and reduced maintenance in harsh environments, reducing downtime and lifecycle costs. The D-End top termination box and bidirectional rotation simplify installation, wiring, and alignment in compact spaces, accelerating commissioning and future upgrades. Compatibility with 6 poles and standard 3-phase systems helps maintain existing electrical infrastructure while enabling scalable automation and drive integration. Industry professionals seeking hazardous area motors benefit from the combination of safety, reliability, and energy efficiency, reducing total cost of ownership while meeting stringent site standards. This model also aligns with IECEx/ATEX-inspired design principles and ABB’s broader portfolio for seamless retrofits and substitutions in legacy plants.

FAQs
This motor uses a 160 frame with a cast iron construction and a D-End top termination box, designed for straightforward wiring and reliable mounting in hazardous areas. It supports bidirectional rotation and fits standard M2JAP/IE2 configurations, enabling quick substitution for legacy motors. Ensure a proper Exdb protection setup and verify Import/Export clearance per local ATEX/IECEx requirements.
Expect IE2 efficiency (Full Load 90.1%), six poles (6P), IC411 insulation class, IP55 enclosure, and Exdb flameproof protection with Gas Group IIB ratings. It operates at ambient up to 50 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, with a 160 frame and 6309-2Z/C3 bearings for durability in tough environments.
Yes. The Exdb flameproof protection combined with IP55 ingress protection and robust insulation makes it appropriate for hazardous area applications in chemical plants and offshore facilities. The 6-pole design and IE2 efficiency support reliable operation under heavy-duty duty cycle (S1) while maintaining energy efficiency.
Core certifications include Exdb flameproof protection, Gas Group IIB, IP55, IC411 insulation, and IE2 efficiency. The motor is designed for safe operation in hazardous zones and aligns with common industrial safety standards, facilitating regulatory approval and safer maintenance cycles.
The combination of Exdb protection, IP55 sealing, and IE2 efficiency reduces energy costs and downtime, translating to lower operating expenses over the motor’s life. Cast iron construction and 6309-2Z/C3 bearings provide extended service life under harsh conditions, lowering replacement and maintenance frequency and supporting predictable maintenance planning.
