Exdbeb flameproof protection is integrated into this motor. This significantly reduces ignition risk in potentially explosive atmospheres, enabling compliant operation in IIB gas groups and IP55-rated enclosures. Ideal for chemical plants, mining, and oil & gas facilities where reliable flameproof motors minimize unplanned downtime. IE3 premium efficiency is achieved at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. Lower energy use translates to measurable operating cost savings and reduced heat generation, extending bearing life and improving overall plant reliability. This is particularly beneficial for continuous S1 duty drives across process lines and material handling applications. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. With rugged cast iron frame and ICFL insulation, maintenance intervals lengthen, and field failures decrease. Applications include outdoor equipment, wash-down areas, and flood-prone facilities where power availability is critical. Frame size 160 and mounting compatibility IMB5/IM3001 support straightforward retrofits. This reduces commissioning time, simplifies serviceability, and lowers adoption risk when upgrading legacy motors or modular drives. The motor aligns with standard ABB mounting patterns, easing integration with existing fixtures and soft-start/drive systems. Operating at 400 V and 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration, the motor delivers predictable torque and speed, even at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. The combination of duty class S1, insulation ICFL, and robust construction supports global deployments across mixed climates and applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors.

FAQs
The motor supports IMB5 and IM3001 mounting within a frame size 160 package, allowing straightforward retrofits and compatible integration with existing bases. Its standard 400 V, 50 Hz supply, plus IP55 protection, streamlines field wiring and enclosure protection, reducing commissioning time and minimizing site disruptions during upgrade projects.
Yes. It features Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 sealing designed for hazardous locations with gas groups IIB. This combination meets core compliance requirements while enabling safe operation in process plants, refineries, and chemical facilities, helping you maintain uptime without compromising safety standards.
It delivers IE3 premium efficiency with full-load efficiency around 92.1 percent at 50 Hz and 93.0 percent at 60 Hz, depending on load. The motor runs on a continuous S1 duty, 15 kW output, and is designed for long life in demanding production lines with steady performance.
Industries such as chemical processing, mining, and oil and gas (plus water treatment) benefit from its flameproof protection, robust cast-iron frame, and IM mounting options. The 4-pole, 15 kW design provides reliable start-up and torque for pumps, fans, and conveyors in harsh environments while reducing energy consumption.
Expect extended service intervals due to IP55 protection, ICFL insulation, and a sturdy 160-frame motor. Regular checks on bearings (6309/C3) and cooling are advised, but downtime is minimized by high IE3 efficiency and proven Ex protection, delivering lower energy costs and a faster return on investment across mixed climates and altitudes up to 1000 m.
