Ex protection is designed to prevent ignition in hazardous environments, reducing combustion risk and enabling installation in chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining facilities while meeting stringent safety standards. Business impact: improved plant safety metrics, lower risk of costly shutdowns, and easier regulatory compliance as part of a broader safety automation strategy. Application: suitable for hazardous-area drives and collaboration with ABB control systems to streamline safety interlocks and maintenance routines. IE4 efficiency reduces operating energy costs by delivering higher output with lower input, translating to measurable annual savings and a faster return on investment, especially in continuous process lines and pumping stations. Application: long-running motors powering fans, pumps, and conveyors in energy-intensive plants. IP55 protection and robust housing support reliable operation in dusty or humid environments, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending service intervals. Application: cement mills, mining conveyors, and marine/offshore platforms where ingress protection matters. Frame size 315, 2-pole design with Ex protection ensures straightforward retrofit into existing installations, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting provides compatibility with common ABB mounting schemes. Application: machine upgrades and retrofits in existing lines without major structural changes. IC411 insulation class and a 40 °C ambient rating support steady performance in regional climates with elevated temperatures; altitude up to 1000 m keeps performance within spec for many North European and Arctic facilities. Frame 315, 400 V, 50 Hz, 250 kW, 2P, S1 duty delivers predictable torque and reliability in continuous operation. Application: process pumps and fans in chemical processing or metalworking. Originating in Finland, this motor aligns with tight supply chains and ABB’s global service network, supporting long-term maintenance and spare-part availability. These features collectively reduce total cost of ownership and stabilize production lines across industrial facilities.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, use the Exdbeb flameproof enclosure to prevent ignition in explosive atmospheres. Ensure proper IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, and verify the D-End top terminator box position as specified. The unit is rated IP55 and IC411 insulation, suitable for ambient up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Plan for 400 V, 50 Hz supply and a 315 frame during retrofit or new installs.
The motor operates at 400 V and 50 Hz with an output of 250 kW and two poles. It is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for S1 continuous duty, with Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure. Insulation class is IC411, and mounting options include IMB5/IM3001, suitable for 315 frame size.
Yes. The motor is specified for 400 V at 50 Hz, 250 kW, and uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatible with standard ABB installation practices. The 315 frame size and robust flameproof Ex protection enable safe operation in hazardous environments, while the IP55 rating supports ingress protection in challenging industrial settings.
This motor features IE4 efficiency, flameproof Exdbeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. It is designed for hazardous area use with a duty of S1 and 2-pole configuration, operating at 400 V and 50 Hz. The assembly supports altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, with a 315 frame size.
IE4 efficiency combined with durable flameproof design reduces energy costs and scaling of maintenance in hazardous environments. The robust Ex protection and long-life bearings (e.g., 6316/C3) lower downtime and spare-part requirements. In retrofit programs, compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a 315 frame simplifies installation, speeding up deployment and delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s service life.
