Explosion protection and rugged enclosure: Exdbeb protection with IP55 ensures direct installation in hazardous zones without costly external housings, reducing installation time and safety risk. The flameproof enclosure supports safe operation in oil, gas, mining, and chemical processing where dust, moisture, and explosive atmospheres are present. With a 2-pole design and 400 V supply, it integrates smoothly with standard LV drives and control systems. Business impact: safer installations and faster time-to-value in hazardous-area projects; application: chemical plants, refineries, and mining facilities. IE3 efficiency and energy cost savings: At 15 kW, this motor delivers premium IE3 efficiency across Full Load (91.9%), Partial Load at 75% (92.0%), and 50% (91.4%). The higher efficiency reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and supports regulatory compliance for energy use. Business impact: lower total cost of ownership and reduced carbon footprint; application: continuous-process drives and HVAC-related load profiles. Robust mechanical design and bearings: Cast iron frame (160) with 6309/C3 bearings, IM Class IMB35/IM2001, and a top-terminator box layout provide vibration damping and extended service life in tough environments. Business impact: longer mean time between failures (MTBF) and reduced maintenance cycles; application: heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and fans in harsh plants. Electrical compatibility and installation advantages: Delta connection (D) for 400 V, 50 Hz, single-speed operation, IP55, and 3-phase supply ensure straightforward integration with ABB drives and automation stacks. The compact 808 mm depth and 350 mm height support easy retrofits and minimal downtime during installation. Business impact: faster commissioning and lower installation risk; application: plant-wide motor upgrades and new-exit installations. Duty, environment, and compliance readiness: S1 continuous duty, ambient 40 °C, altitude up to 1000 m, Exdbeb protection, and Gas Group IIB enable reliable operation in challenging facilities. WEEE category approval and UNSPSC 26101100 support regulatory and sustainability programs. Business impact: dependable uptime, compliance assurance, and lifecycle-cost reduction in hazardous-area automation.

FAQs
Install directly in hazardous zones using Exdbeb protection and IP55 enclosure to minimize external housings. Use delta (D) connection for 400 V 50 Hz supply, with the top termination box for straightforward wiring. Ensure mounting on a sturdy base compatible with a 160 frame size and cast-iron construction, and plan for standard LV drive integration.
IE3 efficiency reduces electrical losses across full-load, partial-load, and low-load conditions. With rated performance around 91.9% full-load and similar values at 75% and 50% loads, operators achieve meaningful energy savings over long run hours, improving ROI and reducing cooling and utility costs in mission-critical applications.
Yes. The motor is rated for S1 continuous duty, designed to operate in ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude. Its IMB35/IM2001 class, 2-pole design, and robust 160 frame with a Cast Iron housing support reliable, uninterrupted operation in pumps, fans, and conveyors within hazardous environments.
It features Exdbeb explosion protection for IIB gas groups, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and is designed for hazardous-area compliance. The unit also adheres to WEEE Category 4 and UNSPSC 26101100 classifications, ensuring both safety and regulatory alignment in energy-intensive industries.
The combination of Exdbeb protection, IP54/IP55 sealing, and IE3 efficiency lowers maintenance costs by reducing protective enclosures and safeguarding components. The robust cast-iron frame, bearings, and long-life IM classes extend service intervals, improving uptime and delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for hazardous-area automation projects.
