Flameproof Exdbeb protection reduces explosion risks in hazardous zones, helping customers meet ATEX and IECEx requirements while controlling insurance costs. This protection translates into safer asset ownership for chemical, oil & gas, and mining operations, enabling continuous operation where standard motors would require shutdowns. In practice, you gain fewer unplanned outages and more predictable maintenance, even in volatile environments with dust or gas exposure. IE3 premium efficiency at 250 kW and 500 V delivers tangible energy savings in continuous-duty applications. The improved efficiency lowers operating costs, reduces heat in enclosed spaces, and supports sustainability targets. Fewer thermal excursions also mean longer life for bearings and seals, while compatibility with common ABB drives provides a straightforward upgrade path for existing control architectures. IP55 enclosure and insulation class ICLF ensure reliable operation in dusty, humid, and hot environments. The rugged cast iron frame (355) and bearings (6322/C3) are designed for long service intervals, minimizing spare-part demand and maintenance downtime. Together with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and easier lifecycle planning for industrial fleets. IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility and top terminator box location simplify retrofits and new installations. Quick alignment with standard footprints reduces commissioning time, while the robust mechanical design tolerates typical field wiring and improper helix seating. This compatibility also supports standardized spare parts and service routines, improving uptime across multi-site deployments. Continuous S1 duty, 50 Hz operation, and 1000 m altitude tolerance ensure predictable behavior across varied sites. With ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, the motor maintains performance without derating under typical industrial loads. This combination of duty, mounting flexibility, and rugged construction underpins reliable operation in demanding environments, supporting uptime and plant throughput.

FAQs
Retrofits benefit from IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility and the top terminator box location, aligning with standard footprints and simplifying cable routing. The 355 frame and cast-iron construction support straightforward mounting on existing bases, with minimal modification. The 500 V, 50 Hz rating matches regional power networks, reducing transformer or drive changes and speeding commissioning.
Exdbeb denotes flameproof protection suitable for gas and dust atmospheres, preventing ignition under fault conditions. Combined with IP55 enclosure, it satisfies ATEX/IECEx requirements for hazardous locations in chemical, oil & gas, and mining sites, delivering enhanced safety, regulatory compliance, and minimized risk during maintenance and operation.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption at full and partial loads, lowering annual energy costs and cooling requirements. In a 250 kW, 50 Hz application, the savings accrue quickly, improving return on investment. The higher efficiency also reduces heat-related wear, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance frequency.
Yes. The motor is rated for 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, supporting stable torque and speed without heavy derating. Its insulation class ICLF and robust frame ensure reliable performance across diverse industrial sites, even under hot climates or elevated elevations.
IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits by standardizing footprints, allowing quick alignment with existing bases and drives. The top terminator box location reduces wiring complexity, speeds commissioning, and minimizes fault potential. This standardization also streamlines spare-parts, maintenance planning, and multi-site deployment across a fleet.
