Exdbeb flameproof protection is integrated into the motor, providing gas-group IIB ignition protection for hazardous locations. This design reduces ignition risk and supports compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards, enabling safe use in refineries, chemical plants, and other zones where flammable atmospheres may be present. The protection level pairs with the 132 kW rating to sustain reliable torque under demanding conditions. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable operating-cost savings by reducing copper losses and heat generation at full load. With a 95.4% full-load efficiency at 50 Hz, the motor minimizes energy consumption during continuous operation. In practice, users see lower utility bills and better motor thermal management, which translates to extended bearing life and fewer cooling requirements. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation provide dust ingress and moisture protection and high-temperature resilience. The IP55 rating supports installation indoors or outdoors with limited maintenance, while the insulation class ICLF tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes around 1000 m. Cast Iron frame 315 and bearings 6316/C3 deliver rugged mechanical robustness for long service life in harsh environments with minimal downtime. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and D-End top termination simplify installation and service, enabling quick retrofits and reliable alignment with ABB drives and safety interlocks in demanding plants. Electrical configuration is Y with a 500 V, 50 Hz supply and a 2-pole design, while heavy-duty mounting and a 132 kW rating ensure predictable performance under S1 duty in hazardous zones, reducing maintenance cycles and optimizing total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installers should verify Ex protection compliance (Exdbeb) for gas IIB environments and ensure mounting compatibility with IMB5/IM3001. Use the D-End top termination box, align with frame size 315, and follow Y connection wiring at 500 V, 50 Hz. Account for ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m to maintain cooling and reliability.
Yes. It is an IE3 premium-efficiency motor with IP55 enclosure and IC 411 insulation, paired with Exdbeb flameproof protection. The design supports ATEX/IECEx compliance for hazardous locations, enabling safe operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities while delivering lower energy consumption.
The motor provides 132 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, with a 2-pole design and Y connection. Frame size is 315, frame-mounted in cast iron, and it supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Compatible with standard ABB drive systems, it enables reliable integration with existing electrical infrastructure and protective interlocks.
Yes. The device is specified for continuous duty (S1) with a single-speed operation suitable for steady-state processes. This makes it ideal for constant-speed applications in hazardous zones, ensuring predictable torque and stable operation under full-load conditions.
