IE4 Super Premium Efficiency reduces energy consumption and heat generation across the load spectrum, delivering measurable savings in long-running processes. The 75 kW motor maintains high efficiency at both full and partial loads, which is critical for pumps, compressors, and fans in chemical plants. In practice this means cooler equipment rooms, lower cooling requirements, and a faster ROI for process-intensive facilities. Ex protection Exdbeb ensures hazardous-area compliance by providing intrinsic safety against arc and explosion risks. When integrated with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and IP55 protection, the motor stays safe during startup, shutdown, and overload events. This eliminates costly retrofits and reduces downtime during maintenance windows in oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities. IP55 enclosure protects internal windings from dust and water ingress, extending service life in dusty workshops and damp facilities. The cast-iron 280 frame, together with precise bearings (6316/C3) and IMB3/IM1001 compatibility, supports reliable operation in heavy-duty environments and simplifies retrofit projects by matching existing mechanical footprints. Line-up with frame 280 and a two-pole design delivers 75 kW with robust torque at 400 V and 50 Hz, while the IMB3/IM1001 mounting options simplify installation and alignment with standard switchgear. The 2P arrangement minimizes starting current surges and improves motor response in packages where space is at a premium. Designed for S1 continuous duty, insulation class ICLF and IC411, the motor handles ambient temperatures up to 40°C at elevations up to 1000 m. With Ex protections and gas group IIB, it remains compatible with common ABB drives and control panels, enabling smooth integration into existing automation architectures and reducing commissioning time. Finland-origin manufacturing supports consistent quality and a predictable supply chain, while the robust bearing arrangement and durable cast-iron construction translate to lower maintenance intervals and longer mean time between failures. This combination delivers dependable, long-term performance in hazardous environments, supporting uptime metrics and total cost of ownership targets.

FAQs
For safe hazardous-area installation, use the Exdbeb protection rating and IP55 enclosure as primary safeguards. Mounting is designed for IMB3/IM1001 frames, with the terminal box located at the D-End top to streamline wiring. Operate at 400 V and 50 Hz with a 2-pole configuration, ensuring compliance with zone-specific explosion protection and electrical codes while minimizing start-up surges.
Key specs include 75 kW output, 400 V input, 50 Hz frequency, and 2 poles. The motor achieves IE4 efficiency with IC411 insulation, features IP55 protection, and is rated Exdbeb for hazardous environments. It is suitable for continuous S1 duty and supports standard ABB controls and drives for seamless integration.
Yes. The 280 frame size and 2P design fit into common mechanical footprints, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies retrofits alongside existing ABB drive ecosystems. The IP55 enclosure and Ex protection reduce additional enclosure changes, while 75 kW capacity supports upgrading process lines without oversized hardware or costly rewiring.
This motor provides Ex protection (Exdbeb) for hazardous areas and an IP55 enclosure. It offers high-efficiency IE4 performance and IC411 insulation. Gas group IIB and robust mechanical construction (cast iron frame, bearing 6316/C3) support compliance in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments while enabling safe operation under continuous duty.
IE4 efficiency reduces operating energy costs over the motor’s life, lowering cooling loads and utility bills. The rugged build and Ex protection translate to longer mean time between failures, reduced maintenance, and quicker commissioning with ABB drives. For hazardous-area deployments, this combination delivers a favorable total cost of ownership and improved uptime.
