Exde flameproof protection (Exdbeb) with Gas Group IIB strengthens safety in explosive atmospheres. This flameproof motor is designed to contain ignition sources and deliver reliable performance in hazardous plants, with a compact 2-pole layout suited to continuous operation. IE2 efficiency details translate into tangible energy savings on long production lines, reducing running costs. IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and a T4 temperature class enable operation in dusty, humid, and outdoor environments up to 40 °C ambient, with reliable performance. The cast-iron frame size 400, bearings 6317M/C3, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting deliver rugged durability for heavy-duty service and extended life in tough conditions. Top terminator box location simplifies wiring and service in restricted spaces, while compatibility with ABB drives and standard mounting configurations eases integration. Overall, the combination of flameproof protection, robust construction, and energy efficiency supports high uptime, safety compliance, and lower total cost of ownership in hazardous-area automation.

FAQs
For Exde flameproof installations, place the motor with the top-terminal box accessible for wiring and routine inspection. Use IMB3 mounting on a cast-iron frame size 400 and ensure the top-terminal cover is sealed to IP55 levels. Confirm Exdbeb protection for IIB gas group, maintain ambient temperature below 40 °C, and follow local hazardous-area wiring codes to avoid derating or misinstallation.
The IE2 rating delivers about 2–5% energy savings under full load (95% efficiency) and similar gains at partial loads (94.6% at 75%, 93.7% at 50%). On continuous S1 duty, these improvements reduce running power draw, lower utility bills, and shorten payback periods, especially in pumps, fans, and conveyors with variable load profiles.
Yes, the motor features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, enabling safe operation in dusty, humid, or outdoor hazardous zones. The Temperature Class is T4, while Exdbeb explosion protection and IIB gas group compliance meet common regulatory requirements for Exde drives.
The motor suits chemical plants, refineries, mining, and other hazardous-area processes requiring reliable 2-pole flameproof operation. Typical applications include pumps, fans, mixers, and conveyors with S1 duty. The rugged cast-iron frame and top-terminal box simplify integration with ABB drives and control systems, improving uptime in harsh environments and enabling safer, longer operation.
Plan for bearings (6317M/C3) and IMB3 mounting in a 400 frame, with periodic inspection of the Exdbeb enclosure and IP55 seals. The IE2 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor life, improving ROI. Availability of spare parts, standard ABB controls integration, and a 1-piece minimum order simplify stocking and maintenance planning.
