FAQs
This motor employs Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and a Gas Group IIB rating with a D-terminal connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. When installing, ensure ATEX/IECEx compliance for Zone 1/2 regions, verify proper enclosure cooling and cable entries, and provide adequate service access and ventilation to maintain safe operation.
The motor delivers 630 kW at 400 V, 50 Hz, in a 2-pole design with a D connection. It achieves IE4 efficiency (Full Load ~96.5%), is IP55 protected, and uses Exdbeb flameproof protection. Additional specs include Frame 400, insulation ICLF, ambient 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m, with IMB5/IM3001 mounting.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, combined with Gas Group IIB and IP55 enclosure, is specifically intended for hazardous-area applications typical of oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining. Always confirm site classification and ensure installation in ATEX/IECEx compliant equipment housings and control systems.
The motor is designed to integrate with ABB control ecosystems, featuring 400 V at 50 Hz with a D connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. It aligns with ABB VFDs and motor-management schemes, enabling smooth parameterization, reliable soft-start control, and consistent monitoring within a standard ABB automation stack.
IE4 efficiency reduces energy losses, and at 630 kW the improved efficiency lowers operating costs over the motor’s life. The rugged cast-iron frame, protective Ex enclosure, and robust bearings reduce downtime and maintenance needs. Actual ROI depends on duty cycle, but users typically see lower energy bills and longer service intervals with these motors.
