Feature → Business Impact → Application. Flameproof Exde protection provides intrinsic safety for motors operating in explosive atmospheres, delivering regulatory compliance and reduced risk of ignition. The result is safer start-up, lower incident costs, and a more predictable maintenance cycle on critical equipment in refineries, chemical plants, and mining operations. Applied to 22 kW, 50 Hz, 8-pole drives, it aligns with IMB5/IM3001 mounting for quick installation and robust service life. IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy waste across loading conditions, delivering measurable energy savings and lower operating costs during both full-load and part-load operation. In continuous process lines such as pumps and fans, the motor helps achieve favorable total cost of ownership while meeting corporate sustainability targets. IP55 enclosure provides robust protection against dust and water ingress, enabling reliable operation in dusty plants and outdoor installations. The design supports straightforward cooling and maintenance access, reducing unscheduled downtime in harsh environments. Cast-iron frame (225) with bearing configurations 6313/C3 and 6312/C3 delivers vibration resistance and long life, minimizing maintenance intervals. This enhances uptime in continuous operations like mixers and conveyor drives in chemical processing and materials handling. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies OEM integration with ABB controls and variable-frequency drives, enabling faster commissioning and consistent performance across global sites. Gas Group IIB and Exdbeb protection align with hazardous-area requirements, helping plants pass regulatory inspections and avoid costly deratings. The motor’s origin in Finland supports local procurement programs and supply-chain reliability for global projects.

FAQs
This motor uses Exdbeb flameproof protection and Exde certification suitable for IIB gas groups. It supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting, D connection, and an IP55 enclosure, making it compatible with standard ABB drive interfaces. Ensure proper clearance, allow for 1000 m altitude and up to 40 °C ambient, and follow local electrical codes during installation.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 22 kW with IE3 premium efficiency. Full-load efficiency is 90.6% at 100% load, with 91.6% at 75% load and 91.5% at 50% load, providing reliable energy savings across operating points. The eight-pole design supports smooth start-up and controlled speed for pumps and fans in demanding environments.
Yes. The Exde flameproof protection and Exdbeb gas protection class, along with IP55 enclosure and IIB gas group rating, make it appropriate for hazardous-area applications in chemical and oil & gas facilities. With IMB5/IM3001 mounting and robust cast-iron frame, it withstands vibration and harsh processing conditions.
Key certifications include Exde flameproof protection for hazardous atmospheres, IP55 dust and water ingress protection, and IE3 premium efficiency. Insulation class ICF/L, aluminum? No, cast-iron frame, and a proofed mounting system. The motor aligns with IEC standards for industrial motors and supports safe operation in demanding installations.
The 22 kW, 8-pole design with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a cast-iron frame yields high mechanical robustness and longer bearing life (6313/C3, 6312/C3).
