Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flameproof Exdbeb protection paired with IP55 enclosure minimizes ignition risk in hazardous environments, reducing compliance overhead and downtime for plants in mining, chemical, and oil & gas sectors. This translates to improved reliability, safer startups, and lower total cost of ownership as maintenance intervals lengthen and spare parts usage drops. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings on continuous operation, lowering operating costs for conveyor systems, pumps, and fans across facility rooftops and processing lines. This motor is well suited for 50 Hz, 3-phase plant power at 500 V, enabling predictable performance and easier energy audits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Frame size 225 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and top termination simplifies retrofits and new installations, enabling fast commissioning, reduced field wiring complexity, and easier alignment with existing ABB or third-party accessories. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rugged mechanical design with 2 poles, Cast Iron frame, and heavy-duty bearings (6313/C3, 6312/C3) improves service life in demanding environments, supporting long-term reliability in processes like mining winches, chemical mixers, and water treatment pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Comprehensive standards compliance (IEC 60034-1, IP55, ICFL insulation) provides confidence for safety audits and regulatory approvals, ensuring smooth integration into certified systems and reducing qualification bottlenecks during plant expansions. Industry-focused context: The combination of Ex protection, robust mounting options, and high efficiency is particularly valuable for hazardous-area drive solutions where downtime costs are high and energy prices are a constant consideration.

FAQs
Yes. The motor is specified for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and comes with a top-term box option, which simplifies field wiring, alignment with existing foundations, and upgrading legacy drives without extensive rework. This compatibility reduces installation risk and shortens commissioning time in new builds or retrofits.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and is designed for Gas Group IIB environments. It complies with IEC 60034-1 standards for electrical performance and insulation, providing a verified safety profile suitable for mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 45 kW output with a 500 V supply, connected in a 3-phase delta configuration (D), and rated for IE3 premium efficiency. It operates within ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring stable performance in demanding plants.
The design specifies operation up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. For higher elevations or temperatures, verify derating curves or select a motor variant rated for harsher conditions. In many cases, fans or cooling strategies can mitigate thermal constraints, but confirmation from the engineering team is essential.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption and cooling loads, cutting operating costs over the motor’s life. The flameproof protection minimizes downtime and inspection costs in hazardous areas, while the rugged build and long bearing life lower maintenance expenses. Combined, these factors translate to a favorable ROI for plants with continuous operation and strict safety compliance needs.
