Flameproof Exdbeb protection is engineered into this ABB motor to enable safe operation in hazardous zones where gas or dust hazards exist. This flameproof designation supports compliance with industry standards for equipment used in petrochemical and chemical processing facilities, reducing ignition risk during startup and service. The Exdbeb rating, combined with Gas Group IIB qualification, gives integrators confidence when selecting drives for critical hazloc applications. IE3 Premium Efficiency delivers measurable energy savings on continuous loads, lowering operating costs and reducing heat in enclosure. At the same time, full-load efficiency remains high across partial-load conditions, supporting energy governance goals. IP55 enclosure protects against dust ingress and water jets, while ICFL insulation ensures endurance at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and at elevations up to 1000 m. The cast iron frame size 180 provides rigidity and damping for demanding belt and fan loads. A 4-pole, 18.5 kW motor with 500 V supply is well suited to high-torque startups and steady-state operation in S1 duty. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, a top terminator box, and a D connection configuration simplify installation in tight switchgear cabinets and hazardous-area frames. The robust bearings (6310/C3) support long service life with predictable friction across duty cycles, reducing maintenance intervals. Overall, the unit integrates rugged construction with precise electrical design to minimize downtime in critical process lines.

FAQs
This model uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box, D connection configuration, and is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz operation. The 4-pole, 180 frame suits compact plant layouts, while the top-box wiring simplifies installation and service in hazardous environments, reducing downtime during maintenance and swaps.
The motor meets IE3 premium efficiency and is rated for continuous duty (S1). At 50 Hz, it delivers 18.5 kW with high-load efficiency around 92% and favorable partial-load performance (91–93%), minimizing energy use across typical operating profiles and contributing to lower running costs.
Yes. It features Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones and IP55 enclosure protection. Insulation is rated IC411 (ICLF), with Gas Group IIB resistance and a Temperature Class of T4, making it appropriate for chemical, oil/gas, and mining environments.
Ideal for pumps, fans, and mixers in chemical processing, oil and gas, and mining operations where ignition risk must be mitigated. The motor’s flameproof rating, rugged cast-iron frame, and top-box wiring support reliable operation in demanding environments with limited maintenance windows.
Cast-iron frame, 6310/C3 bearings, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting contribute to mechanical robustness and longevity. The motor’s high efficiency reduces heat load, while its IP55/Exdbeb protection lowers corrosion and ignition risk, delivering lower total cost of ownership through longer service intervals and fewer unscheduled maintenance events.
