Flameproof Exdbeb protection combined with an IP55 enclosure reduces risk and enables safe operation in hazardous zones, translating to lower insurance costs and fewer shutdowns in chemical plants and oil & gas sites. This robustness is matched with energy efficiency; IE4 performance lowers energy bills and carbon footprint while maintaining full 75 kW output at 400 V, supporting continuous operation of pumps and conveyors in heavy industrial lines. The 2-pole design and 50 Hz standard operation deliver predictable torque characteristics essential for process stability, while the 60 Hz performance data ensures capability in regional power variations and peak-load scenarios. Frame size 280 and cast iron construction provide durability under thermal cycling and vibration typical of mining equipment. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installs, minimizing engineering hours and spare-part inventories. Ex protection for gas group IIB and flameproof enclosure reduce the need for additional enclosure hardware, helping to meet ATEX/IECEx requirements with a single, compliant solution. Maintenance access is straightforward thanks to top-entry terminal box location and D-end box configuration, supporting quick field servicing and reduced downtime during preventive maintenance.

FAQs
Installation should follow ATEX/IECEx guidelines for Exdbeb equipment. Use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting configuration, connect via D terminal configuration, and position the terminator box at the D-End top. Ensure the IP55 enclosure is intact and verify gas group IIB compliance. Confirm proper cooling, secure mechanical mounting, and conduct insulation and electrical tests after installation to ensure long-term reliability in hazardous zones.
The motor operates at 400 V and 50 Hz with a 2-pole, 75 kW output. It is rated for S1 duty, with Exdbeb explosion protection and IP55 enclosure. The insulation class is ICLF, and the frame size is 280, with cast-iron construction and bearing 6316/C3. Duty alignment supports continuous operation in demanding industrial processes.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and is certified for operation in gas group IIB environments. Its flameproof design, combined with IP55 sealing and IE4 efficiency, makes it a compliant choice for hazardous-area pumping, fans, and compressors, reducing the need for additional protective housings and simplifying procurement steps for ATEX/IECEx projects.
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box location and a D-configuration electrical connection. Frame size 280 and cast-iron construction provide rugged mounting suitable for vibrational or high-temperature environments. This setup enables straightforward retrofits and new installations, minimizing commissioning time and enabling quick integration with existing ABB drive ecosystems.
At 60 Hz, the motor maintains IE4 efficiency with full-load performance around 95.0% and partial-load values near 94.6% (75% load) and 93.6% (50% load). It remains rated for ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring reliable performance in regional power variations and demanding industrial environments.
