Exdb flameproof protection directly addresses safety and regulatory compliance in hazardous zones, enabling reliable operation in petrochemical, mining, and energy plants while meeting ATEX/IECEx standards. This feature translates to reduced risk of ignition sources and safer maintenance routines during outages and routine servicing. The 560 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz in a 6-pole design provides a stable, high-torque drive for demanding processes, improving process containment and control. IE4 Super Premium efficiency lowers energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions across the production cycle, delivering measurable ROI even at partial-load conditions and supporting corporate sustainability targets. IP55 enclosure with IC411 insulation protects critical windings from dust, moisture, and elevated temperatures, increasing MTBF and lowering maintenance frequency in harsh environments. The D connection simplifies wiring in existing switchgear, reducing install time and potential wiring errors, while the cast-iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer rugged durability and straightforward retrofits. Serviceability is enhanced by a robust bearing arrangement (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) and a terminator box location that provides safer, easier access during maintenance windows. Although upfront cost may be higher than non-explosion-protected variants, lifecycle cost benefits through downtime reduction and predictable maintenance support a compelling total ownership story for regulated applications.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, follow Exdb enclosure requirements, perform proper grounding, and mount the motor on IMB5/IM3001 supports. Use the D connection scheme and ensure cable glands and seals meet IP55 ratings. Plan for altitude up to 1000 meters and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, with adequate cooling and enclosure protection. Engage qualified electricians and verify ATEX/IECEx conformity during commissioning.
IE4 efficiency reduces energy consumption versus lower grade motors, with full-load efficiency around 96.6% and strong partial-load performance. In continuous duty, this translates to tangible energy savings, lower operating costs, and a smaller carbon footprint. The motor’s 400 V, 50 Hz operation supports precise control when paired with ABB drives, improving process stability and reducing energy waste across the production cycle.
Yes. The motor features Exdb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB rating, enabling safe operation in oil, gas, and chemical processing environments. Its ATEX/IECEx compliance and IP55 enclosure meet regulatory requirements for Zone 1/Zone 2 applications, provided local approvals are observed. Always confirm site-specific certifications and enclosure integrity before installation.
The design includes robust bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), cast-iron frame, and a durable IMB5/IM3001 mounting system that extend mean time between failures and reduce maintenance frequency. Strong enclosure protection minimizes ingress-related wear, while seamless drive compatibility facilitates remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Overall, this translates to lower downtime, predictable maintenance spend, and better asset utilization in harsh environments.
The motor supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and a D-end top terminator box location, enabling straightforward retrofit into existing lines and new builds. The D connection and 400 V, 50 Hz, 6-pole configuration simplify wiring and drive integration. These features help customers minimize installation risk and maximize alignment with existing ABB automation ecosystems.
