Ex protection and rugged construction enable safe operation in hazardous environments, with Exdbeb flameproof enclosure and Gas Group IIB. This delivers regulatory compliance and reduced ignition risk for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations. The result is safer start-ups, fewer work stoppages, and smoother audits, while enabling standardization with ABB protection schemes. Premium IE3 efficiency at 7.5 kW reduces energy losses and cooling demands compared with lower-efficiency motors, translating to lower electricity bills and improved process economy for pumps, fans, and conveyors in chemical processing and water treatment. This supports cost-of-ownership reductions and better green-plant reporting. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress in outdoor or rugged plant spaces, extending service intervals and reducing corrosion-related maintenance. Applications include outdoor motor installations, segregated process lines, and environments with wash-down requirements, delivering higher uptime and lower maintenance costs. Frame size 160 and six-pole design provide robust torque characteristics and straightforward compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, improving mechanical integration and reducing installation time. This is particularly beneficial for retrofit projects in aging facilities or upgrading to safer, higher-performance drives. IC411 insulation class and Temperature Class T4 support continuous operation in hot environments up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, ensuring reliable performance in challenging sites such as chemical plants and offshore work sites. This combination helps protect long-term motor life and reduces unexpected maintenance. Cast Iron frame with bearing 6309/C3 and IMB5/IM3001 terminator box layout deliver durability in tough industrial settings, supporting long service intervals and predictable maintenance planning. The design aligns with industry best practices for heavy-duty, hazardous-area motors and minimizes lifecycle risk.

FAQs
Plan for IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and the top terminator box location. Use the D connection configuration and ensure a 500 V, 50 Hz supply that matches the motor’s 7.5 kW output. Verify IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof protection during commissioning to meet hazardous-area requirements.
Yes, it is suitable for VFD-driven applications, but ensure the drive is sized for 7.5 kW and the control gear supports 500 V 50 Hz operation. Take into account proper cooling, insulation (ICLF), and supervision to avoid overheating. Use appropriate motor protection and filters as recommended for IE3 motors in hazardous zones.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, Gas Group IIB, and IEC 60034-1 compliance. The motor is designed for continuous duty (S1) with Temperature Class T4 and IC411 insulation, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments such as chemical plants and refineries.
Yes. The motor is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and operates up to 1000 m altitude, with IC411 insulation and Temperature Class T4 supporting continuous operation. These ratings make it suitable for demanding outdoor and high-altitude industrial sites without sacrificing reliability.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy losses compared with lower-efficiency motors, delivering tangible electricity cost savings over the motor’s life. In hazardous-area applications, the improved efficiency also lowers cooling requirements and extends maintenance intervals, contributing to a shorter payback period and better total cost of ownership (TCO) for pumps, fans, and conveyors.
