Exdbeb flameproof protection provides intrinsic safety in gas environments. This reduces ignition risk and eases regulatory compliance, enabling continuous operation in chemical plants and refineries. The 11 kW output with IE3 Premium Efficiency delivers measurable energy savings, lower operating temperatures, and improved motor life, particularly in continuous duty pumps and fans used in hazardous zones. IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and a rigid IMB5/IM3001 mounting framework enhance ruggedness and serviceability in dusty, humid, or outdoor installations, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime in mining, water treatment, and process industries. The 6-pole, frame size 160 design ensures reliable torque characteristics for demanding loads while allowing straightforward retrofit into existing ABB or third-party systems. With a top-entry terminator box and D-connection configuration, installation alignment is simplified, supporting quick commissioning and safer cable management. Long-term reliability is reinforced by a robust bearing arrangement (6309/C3) and proven IMB5 IM3001 mounting standards, facilitating predictable lifecycle costs. The motor’s electrical data (400 V, 50 Hz) and rugged construction are well suited for industrial processes requiring consistent performance under tough ambient conditions, aiding compliance with IEC 60034-1 and related safety regulations.

FAQs
This motor is a 3-phase squirrel cage Exde flameproof unit designed for hazardous locations. It uses a D connection, 400 V, 50 Hz, with IP55 and IC411 insulation, frame size 160, and 6 poles. Mounting is IMB5/IM3001 with a top-entry terminator box. Ensure supply, cable glands, and mounting footprint match your existing ABB or OEM installations for a seamless retrofit.
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 11 kW with IE3 efficiency; full-load efficiency is about 90.3%, with 75% load at 90.0% and 50% load at 88.5%. At 60 Hz, efficiency rises to roughly 91.7% at full load and about 90.5% at 50% load. These figures support energy savings across typical pump and fan applications in hazardous environments.
Yes. Exdbeb flameproof protection, Gas Group IIB, and IP55 enclosure, combined with IC411 insulation, make it suitable for chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining operations. The design supports IMB5 mounting, 1000 m altitude, and 40 °C ambient conditions. Always verify local ATEX/IECEx requirements and ensure supply conditions align with 400 V, 50 Hz service.
Plan routine inspections of flameproof joints and gaskets, monitor bearing condition (6309/C3), and follow standard lubrication practices for IMB5 mounted motors. Regularly verify IP55 integrity and clean cooling passages. Use OEM-recommended components and gasket kits to preserve explosion protection integrity, which helps minimize unplanned downtime and extend service intervals in harsh industrial settings.
IE3 motors deliver energy savings over IE2 during continuous duty, with efficiency improvements typically in the 2–5 percentage point range depending on load. For an 11 kW hazardous-area application, this translates into meaningful electricity cost reductions and lower heat losses. ROI is driven by energy prices, duty cycle, maintenance savings, and reduced downtime; calculate with your site data for precise payback.
