Exdbeb flameproof protection is built into the motor housing, delivering reliable ignition protection in hazardous zones and simplifying compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements. This translates to lower risk of costly shutdowns and improved worker safety across process plants. In practice, your maintenance team benefits from fewer component replacements and streamlined inspection routines. IE3 Premium Efficiency at 250 kW under 50 Hz reduces energy consumption, delivering meaningful operating cost savings over the motor’s life. Pairing efficiency with robust performance at 500 V helps optimize plant electrical infrastructure. In new builds or upgrades, the energy gains contribute to faster ROI and lower CO2 footprint. IP55 enclosure and IC Class ICLF insulation provide dust, moisture, and heat resistance in tough environments, supporting longer service intervals and reducing thermal stress on windings. The motor’s 4-pole design delivers steady torque for pumps and compressors in demanding plants. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and the D-End top terminator box location simplify installation in existing frames and retrofits, minimizing on-site customization and accelerating commissioning. Wear-resistance and bearing choices (6322/C3 and 6316/C3) support long service life under high-load conditions. The unit is rated for continuous S1 duty, with a 40 °C ambient limit and 1000 m altitude, ensuring reliable operation in typical industrial sites. Made in Finland with robust engineering, this motor aligns with quality-control standards and predictable lead times for project planning.

FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box location and a 355 frame. It integrates with standard 4-pole process drives and can retrofit into facilities using similar ABB IMB3-compatible assemblies. The design minimizes on-site modifications, speeds commissioning, and reduces retrofitting risk in hazardous-area installations.
Key specs include 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, and an output of 250 kW on a 4-pole configuration with IP55 enclosure. The motor is rated for continuous S1 duty, rated at an ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. It features Exdbeb explosion protection, Insulation Class ICLF, and IE3 premium efficiency.
Yes. The motor is certified for hazardous-area use with Exdbeb explosion protection and Gas Group IIB protection. This makes it appropriate for chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and similar environments where ignition risk must be mitigated while maintaining performance and uptime.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses at full load (and over partial loads as indicated by IE Class data). For 50 Hz operation, full-load efficiency is around 96% or higher, translating into meaningful energy savings over the motor’s life. When combined with reliability, explosion protection, and reduced maintenance, the total cost of ownership improves, supporting faster ROI in capital projects.
The motor is a heavy, floor-mounted unit with a net depth of 1479 mm, height 968 mm, width 700 mm, and a net weight of 1790 kg (gross 1820 kg). It originates from Finland and ships as a ready-to-install unit with IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, enabling efficient site handling and predictable lead times in project schedules.
