FAQs
This motor is designed with Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, suitable for Zone 1/II B environments. Use D connection, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and follow local safety standards. Ensure proper cable entries, heatsinking, and ventilation. Power up during commissioning with protective devices sized for 400 V supply.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses across all load conditions. In 50 Hz operation, full-load efficiency is typically around 95.8%, with partial loads at 75% and 50% loading near 95.9% and 95.6%, respectively. These figures translate to tangible annual energy savings, especially in continuous-duty drives like conveyors, pumps, and fans in hazardous zones.
Yes. Exdbeb flameproof protection, Gas Group IIB, and IP55 rating make it apt for hazardous-area service in chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations. The 4-pole, 160 kW design with IMB5 mounting supports robust, long-life operation under demanding conditions while enabling reliable integration with standard drive systems.
Key certifications include Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and electrical specs of 400 V at 50 Hz. The motor features IMB5/IM3001 mounting, Frame 315, and Finnish origin, supporting regulatory compliance and safety audits in industrial facilities handling flammable atmospheres.
By combining IE3 efficiency with a rugged flameproof design, energy costs are reduced and asset reliability improves, boosting uptime. ABB provides standard installation guidance and documentation, with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece. The motor’s long service life and lower maintenance translate into favorable total cost of ownership in hazardous-area applications.
