FAQs
This motor uses Exdb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, with a D-End top termination box that simplifies field wiring. Ensure compliance with local hazardous-area standards, verify gas group IIB suitability, and mount on a compatible base for reliable torque transmission and safe access to terminals during maintenance.
At 50 Hz, the motor achieves IE4 efficiency with Full Load around 96.6%, 75% load around 96.9%, and 50% load around 96.8%. At 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency is about 97.0% with similar high-70% to 100% loading performance. Voltage code is D, with Exdb protection and IP55 enclosure. These figures support steady energy savings under continuous operation.
Yes. The ABB M2JAX-based design is specified for continuous duty (S1), meaning it can run at constant rated load without frequent rest periods. This makes it ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in processing plants where uptime and steady torque are critical.
Best suited for chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and other hazardous environments requiring flameproof protection. Its 315 frame, cast-iron construction, and six-pole design deliver reliable start-up torque for pumps, fans, mixers, and conveyors while maintaining compliance with IP55 and IC411 standards.
The motor features Exdb flameproof protection, gas group IIB, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. It also achieves IE4 efficiency, supports 1000 m altitude at 40 °C ambient, and is configured for continuous S1 duty with a D-End top termination box, aligning with common industrial and hazardous-area requirements.
