Exd flameproof protection with Exdbeb rating provides a proven safeguard for hazardous-area installations, reducing ignition risks and helping meet ATEX/IECEx standards. The protection is matched to IIB gas groups and IP55 enclosure, enabling safer operation in oil, gas, chemical, and mining facilities. IMB3/IM1001 mounting and top terminator box location simplify retrofits and new-build projects in demanding environments. This combination also supports compliance audits, lowers risk exposure, and accelerates project commissioning. IE3 premium efficiency translates into tangible energy savings across both full-load and partial-load operation. With an 11 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, this motor maintains high efficiency during conveyors, fans, and mixers, delivering lower electricity bills and reduced heat load in plants running around the clock. For mission-critical processes, the efficiency margin translates directly into lower life-cycle costs and improved equipment uptime. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation ensure reliable operation in dusty, warm environments, while a cast-iron frame contributes to durability. The combination reduces thermal cycling, extends insulation life, and minimizes maintenance intervals, which is critical in continuous plants. Critical mechanicals include a 6-pole design, frame size 160, 6309/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, which streamline installation, spares planning, and long-term service in retrofit and new projects. The top terminator box location simplifies wiring access and reduces field modifications during upgrades. Electrical compatibility is straightforward with Y connection, 500 V, 50 Hz operation, and 1000 m altitude tolerance at 40 °C ambient, supporting reliable performance across global sites. This alignment with common plant power architectures reduces integration risk and accelerates project timelines. Operationally, the S1 duty rating and flameproof protection help minimize downtime, while the robust IM-bearing and frame design reduce maintenance cycles and extend service life in harsh facilities. ABB support and standard frame 160 availability further reduce lifecycle risk for buyers.

FAQs
For installation, plan IMB3/IM1001 mounting and top terminator box placement to simplify wiring and service access. Use the 6-pole frame size 160 design with 6309/C3 bearings and a Y connection at 500 V 50 Hz. Ensure operation at ambient 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude to maintain insulation and enclosure integrity in hazardous areas.
Exdbeb provides flameproof protection rated for IIB gas groups, reducing ignition risk in explosive atmospheres. Coupled with IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, it supports regulatory compliance (ATEX/IECEx) while enabling reliable operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities with robust mounting options.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, while the Exde/Exdb flameproof protection and IIB gas rating ensure safe operation in hazardous-area oil, gas, chemical, and mining installations. The 11 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz suits continuous-duty (S1) applications with IMB3/IM1001 mounting.
IE3 premium efficiency yields measurable energy reductions in full-load and partial-load conditions. For 11 kW at 500 V and 50 Hz, the motor maintains high efficiency across loads, lowering electricity costs, cooling load, and maintenance needs, which improves total cost of ownership for conveyors, fans, and mixers in continuous plants.
Rely on a robust cast-iron frame, 6309/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting for long life. The top terminator box reduces wiring complexity, while Ex protection and IP55 enclosure minimize environmental wear. Regular inspection of bearings and insulation, compatible with IMB3 mounting, supports predictable maintenance cycles and uptime.
