Feature → Business Impact → Application: Exdb flameproof protection provides a safe operating envelope in hazardous locations, reducing ignition risk and enabling compliant operation in zones IIB. This directly lowers risk-adjusted maintenance costs and supports regulatory compliance in petrochemical plants and refineries. Application: pump trains and conveyors in chemical processing that require reliable flameproof performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress, extending bearing life and reducing unscheduled downtime in dusty mines and offshore facilities. Application: fans or blowers near aggressive environments where enclosure integrity matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE2 efficiency improves energy consumption by delivering high efficiency operation at full and partial loads, contributing to lower electricity costs and improved sustainability metrics. Application: general-purpose drive applications with long operating hours. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and Cast Iron frame offer rugged durability and vibration resistance, enabling easier retrofit and reliable long-term service in heavy-duty applications such as mixers and crushers. Application: retrofit projects in aging plant infrastructure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Exd/Exdb flameproof design and Gas Group IIB certification support safe startup and operation in zones with flammable gases, reducing commissioning risk and enabling compliant installations in mining and chemical processing. Application: hazardous area conveyors and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature class T4 and ambient 50 °C rating ensure stable performance in hot environments, minimizing derating during peak shift operations. Application: oil and gas and steel mill processes where ambient conditions approach design limits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, S1 continuous duty delivers reliable performance for continuous operation and predictable maintenance planning. Application: process lines requiring constant torque and steady speed.Note: All features are presented with a focus on measurable outcomes such as uptime, safety compliance, energy efficiency, and lifecycle costs, while maintaining compatibility with standard ABB components and common installation practices.

FAQs
This motor is designed with Exdb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, making it compatible with hazardous area installations typical in chemical plants and refineries. It uses a Cast Iron frame (180) and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, facilitating retrofits and new builds while meeting IECEx/ATEX expectations. Ensure correct cable entry and termination design to maintain the integrity of the flameproof enclosure.
The unit runs as a 4-pole, 180 frame, 296 kg net weight motor with IE2 efficiency. It operates under S1 duty with a full-load efficiency around 92.2% (100% load) and ~92.3% at 75% load, according to IE Class IE2 data. This supports reduced energy bills for continuous operation on pumps and conveyors in hazardous environments.
Ideal for hazardous location applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors in chemical, refining, mining, and oil & gas operations. The Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IIB gas group rating enable safe operation in zones with flammable gases, while the 4-pole design provides reliable, steady speed suitable for continuous process control.
Expect Exdb flameproof protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, Gas Group IIB, and IE2 efficiency performance. The motor also satisfies International Electrotechnical Commission standards for hazardous environments, and its construction supports compliance with field wiring and maintenance regulations in mining and chemical processing facilities.
Cast Iron frame with robust bearings (6310-2Z/C3) and a D-End top termination box location simplify maintenance and inspection. The rugged IMB5 mounting supports vibration resistance, while the flameproof design helps reduce risk of ignition-related failures. Overall, expect lower downtime, fewer spare parts requirements, and longer service intervals for sustained uptime.
