Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group create a rugged platform for hazardous zones, reducing ignition risk and helping you meet ATEX/IECEx requirements. This translates to lower insurance costs and faster regulatory approvals on new projects, enabling reliable motor-driven equipment such as pumps, fans, and conveyors in refineries and chemical plants. Applications include oil and gas facilities, mining sites, and chemical plants where ignition sources must be excluded and safety margins maintained. IE3 premium efficiency at 160 kW and 500 V improves energy usage and reduces operating costs over the motor’s life. With near 96% full-load efficiency, the drive runs cooler and delivers energy savings at partial loads, supporting processes like grinding mills and process pumps in heavy industry. IP55 enclosure with ICFL insulation handles dust and moisture, extending service intervals in tough environments and ensuring dependable performance at ambient up to 40 °C and altitude to 1000 m. The mechanical design, including 6-pole IMB3/IM1001 mounting and robust bearings (6322/C3), supports longer service intervals and easier maintenance. Designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 355 frame size, it fits common plant interfaces and simplifies installation on existing basings. The D connection configuration and 500 V supply streamline electrical design, with 50 Hz alignment for regional grids, offering predictable commissioning timelines and reduced integration risk. Exdbeb protection with IIB gas group and IP55 rating meet ATEX/IECEx demands, while insulation class ICFL and hot-weather tolerance reduce compliance overhead across offshore platforms and onshore plants.

FAQs
Plan for Ex-protected installation with Exdbeb protection and IIB gas group. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting, D-configuration wiring, and a 355 frame to fit standard plant foundations. Ensure IP55 enclosure integrity, verify ambient temperature rating up to 40 °C, and observe altitude limitations up to 1000 m. Confirm compliance with ATEX/IECEx and local electrical codes prior to commissioning.
IE3 premium efficiency at 160 kW reduces energy consumption across load profiles. At full load the motor achieves about 95.9% efficiency, with nearly identical efficiency at 75% load and ~95.5% at 50% load, improving energy savings, reducing heat generation, and extending bearing life. This is especially valuable for continuous process pumps and large fans in chemical plants and refineries.
Yes. The 355 frame is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting, enabling straightforward integration with established mechanical interfaces. The D connection configuration and 6-pole design support standard drive trains, while the protective IP55 enclosure and robust bearings simplify installation in demanding environments. This compatibility reduces custom fabrication, accelerates commissioning, and lowers installation risk.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group for explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and ICFL insulation. It operates at 50 Hz, 500 V, with a duty cycle of S1. Compliance with ATEX/IECEx, IP ratings, and insulation classes is essential for use in refineries, chemical plants, and mining sites, ensuring regulatory adherence and safer operation.
The combination of high IE3 efficiency, Ex protection, and robust enclosure translates to lower energy costs and extended maintenance intervals, improving ROI over the motor’s life. ABB’s service network and Finnish-origin manufacturing support spare parts availability, predictable lead times, and trained technicians for installation, commissioning, and after-sales service, helping minimize total cost of ownership.
