Ex protection is a flameproof Exdbeb rating, which means the motor is engineered to contain arc and spark risks in hazardous zones. This directly reduces risk to personnel and equipment while enabling safe motor operation in chemical, oil, and mining facilities. Application: hazardous-area drives in process lines, pump and fan systems in refineries. The IP55 protection class and a robust cast-iron frame ensure resistance to dust, water ingress, and mechanical wear, translating to lower maintenance costs and longer intervals between service in harsh plant environments. This makes it ideal for continuous-duty installations in petrochemical plants, mining operations, and paper mills where uptime is critical. With a 400 frame size and 6-pole configuration, the motor delivers reliable torque characteristics for pumps, compressors, and conveyors, supporting steady production without surprises. IE2 efficiency data confirms meaningful energy savings in inline drives and cooling-limited systems, contributing to lower total cost of ownership while meeting regional efficiency regulations. The flameproof Ex protection, coupled with the IC411 insulation class, supports safe operation in high-temperature zones and reduces risk during start-up transients. The motor’s design integrates seamlessly with ABB’s M3KP IE2 family, offering familiarity for maintenance teams and spare-part compatibility across assets in the same plant. In addition, a Top terminator box location simplifies enclosure layouts and cable management during retrofits or new-install projects. These features collectively address common objections about hazardous-area motors, providing a safer, more reliable path to compliant, energy-efficient automation.

FAQs
Yes. The 400 frame size with a 6-pole configuration is designed for seamless integration with common 400/690 V drives and control panels. Exdbeb flameproof protection ensures compatibility with hazardous-area installations, while the IP55 housing supports typical plant ingress requirements. Ensure correct alignment, coupling, and protective enclosure selection to maintain flameproof integrity during retrofit or new installations.
IE2 denotes a minimum efficiency class aligned with European energy regulations, delivering improved energy use under standard loads. For this motor, Full Load efficiency is around 95.0%, with partial loads at 95.1% (75%) and 94.7% (50%). Coupled with a S1 duty (continuous operation), the motor maintains reliable performance without frequent restarts, reducing energy waste and cooling requirements in continuous-process applications.
This motor excels in hazardous-area processes such as chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and refining where flameproof protection is mandatory. Its 6-pole, 400-frame configuration provides robust torque for pumps, fans, and conveyors, while the Exdbeb protection and IP55 rating support reliable operation in dusty, humid, or combustible environments typical of these industries.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation class, with a Temperature Class T4 and Gas Group IIB suitability. These features help meet stringent regulatory standards for hazardous areas, reduce third-party certification costs for plant upgrades, and simplify the procurement process by providing a clearly defined compliance profile.
Maintenance is streamlined by a rugged cast-iron frame, standard bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), and a Top terminator box for easier wiring. The motor’s IE2 efficiency and S1 duty deliver energy savings and reduced cooling load, improving overall ROI in continuous processes. Spare parts are typically standardized within ABB’s M3KP IE2 family, aiding long-term maintenance planning.
