Flameproof construction provides Ex protection to prevent ignition in hazardous zones, reducing risk and enabling compliant operation across chemical, refinery, and mining sites. This directly translates to safer facilities, lower insurance exposure, and easier regulatory audits. IE3 premium efficiency lowers energy consumption in continuous-duty applications, delivering measurable operating cost savings and cooler motor temperatures that extend service life. The IP55 enclosure seals against dust and water ingress, supporting reliable performance at up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, which translates to fewer field failures in outdoor or harsh environments. Frame size 160 with 4 poles and 15 kW power supports standard IMB3/IM1001 mounting, simplifying installation, spare parts planning, and retrofit projects without custom fabrication. Exdbeb protection, Gas Group IIB rating, and a D-connection configuration ensure compliance with ATEX/IECEx for hazardous-area installations, improving project timelines and ROI. Overall, these features align with industry best practices for safe, energy-efficient motor solutions that minimize lifecycle costs while maintaining compatibility with ABB drives and control systems.

FAQs
Yes. This motor is designed for a 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply and supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The 4-pole, frame size 160 configuration enables straightforward integration with standard ABB drives and existing mechanical interfaces, reducing retrofit risk and minimizing installation time. Always verify existing switchgear and control panel ratings to ensure seamless integration.
Electrical data at 50 Hz shows IE3 class performance with full-load efficiency around 92.1% and partial-load values near 92.4% at 75% load, with 91.8% at 50%. These figures translate to meaningful energy savings in continuous operation while meeting stringent regulatory requirements for hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor carries Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for gas group IIB environments, meeting ATEX/IECEx expectations. This means safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres and reduces the risk of ignition from electrical sources when installed with proper enclosure and wiring practices.
The motor conforms to IEC 60034-1 for general electrical performance and safety, IC411 insulation class, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting classes. This makes the unit compatible with common industry mounting arrangements and ensures robust performance in challenging ambient conditions common to oil & gas, chemical, and mining facilities.
Maintenance considerations include routine inspection of Ex-rated enclosures, periodic insulation checks, and bearing condition monitoring as part of normal preventive maintenance. The ROI is driven by reduced energy consumption from IE3 efficiency, lower downtime due to rugged flameproof design, and easier procurement through standard mounting and controls integration, all contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
