FAQs
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb explosion protection and is designed for use in IIB gas groups, meeting ATEX/IECEx expectations. It also carries an IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, ensuring safe operation in challenging zones while maintaining performance across 50 Hz operation.
The motor is a 3-phase, 315 kW unit rated for 500 V at 50 Hz with a D connection configuration. It has a two-pole design, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and operates within a 40 °C ambient temperature and up to 1000 m altitude, ensuring flexibility in a variety of plant setups.
Yes. The motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-Terminator Box location (D-End top), which aligns with common ABB installation practices and simplifies retrofits and new builds alike, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time.
IE3 efficiency delivers reduced energy consumption during full-load and partial-load conditions. For continuous S1 duty, users typically see lower electricity costs and improved thermal performance, which translates to longer bearing life and lower cooling requirements in demanding process lines.
Plan for periodic inspection of the Ex protection seals, IP55 enclosure integrity, and bearing condition (6316M/C3). The IC411 insulation class supports sustained temperature tolerance, while the cast-iron frame and robust bearings tolerate vibration and harsh environments, reducing unplanned maintenance overhead.
