The motor delivers IE3 premium efficiency, translating into lower energy bills and improved process reliability across constant 50 Hz operation and variable loads. In practical terms, its 500 kW output at 400 V reduces the number of drives required for large-scale conveyors, pumps, and mixers, simplifying system topology and maintenance schedules. The flameproof Exdbeb protection enables safe operation in IIB gas environments, supporting compliance with hazardous-area installation standards and reducing ignition risk during maintenance or startup. An IP55 enclosure paired with IC411 insulation ensures resilience in dusty or humid facilities and under elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, while the cast iron frame and 355 frame size offer robust mechanical stability for IMB5/IM3001 mounting. With a 2-pole configuration and S1 duty, the motor maintains steady performance under continuous operation, and its country of origin in Finland reinforces a high-quality manufacturing pedigree. The design also supports standard 400 V 50 Hz industrial grids, easing integration with existing electrical distributions and control systems. Additional compatibility features include defined connection configurations (D) and a proven bearing arrangement (6316M/C3) for long service life, reducing total cost of ownership in continuous-duty applications.

FAQs
For hazardous-area deployment, ensure Ex protection compliance (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure are maintained. The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, with a 355 frame size and cast iron construction to withstand demanding environments. Use appropriate cabling, sealing, and enclosure protection as per local standards, and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C or 1000 m altitude ratings to preserve efficiency and reliability.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces rotor and stator losses compared with older efficiency classes, delivering measurable energy savings under full-load and partial-load conditions. For a 500 kW, 400 V motor operating at 50 Hz, this translates to lower active power draw, reduced cooling load, and improved overall plant energy intensity—benefits that compound with extended equipment life and lower maintenance demands.
Yes. The motor is rated IP55, providing protection against dust ingress and water jets, and features Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for IIB gas groups. This combination supports safe operation in hazardous zones and aligns with standards for chemical, petrochemical, and mining facilities, helping maintain uptime and regulatory compliance.
The unit uses a 355 frame size with a cast iron frame and supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting. This compatibility simplifies installation alongside existing ABB and third-party equipment. The mounting choice also influences vibrational behavior and maintenance access, so align with the plant’s mechanical standards and ensure clearance for service intervals and bearing inspection.
Expected TCO benefits come from energy savings via IE3 efficiency, reduced risk of unscheduled downtime due to robust Ex protection, and longer service life from a durable cast iron frame and high-quality bearings. Although upfront costs may be higher than non-flameproof variants, long-term maintenance, spare parts availability, and compliance with safety standards typically yield lower lifecycle costs.
