Flameproof protection is engineered with Exdbeb certification, delivering enhanced safety in highly restricted environments, which translates to reduced risk and lower insurance costs for chemical and oil & gas facilities. This certification, paired with IP55 enclosure, minimizes ingress from dust and water, ensuring uninterrupted operation in outdoor and rugged plant areas. IE4 efficiency at 500 kW directly reduces energy consumption, yielding measurable operating-cost savings and improved ESG performance for processors and OEMs. The 400 V, 50 Hz, 6-pole design aligns with standard industrial power networks, simplifying procurement and installation while enabling predictable torque and speed for demanding conveyors and pumps. IMB5/IM3001 mounting, D-end top termination, and a robust cast-iron frame support quick, safe installation and straightforward maintenance in hazardous zones. With a frame size of 400 and a net weight around 3.3 metric tons, the motor offers a durable platform for long service life and reduced downtime in demanding applications such as refining, mining, and chemical processing. Altitude capability up to 1000 m and ambient 40 °C conditions are accommodated, ensuring dependable performance across global sites. This motor is designed to integrate with ABB’s mounting standards and asset-management workflows, promoting consistent spare-part availability and lifecycle planning for enterprise-grade uptime.

FAQs
This motor is designed for Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure, suitable for hazardous areas such as refineries and chemical plants. Installers should plan for D-end top termination, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and ensure operation within the 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limits. Use correct cable entries, perimeter protection, and compliant cable glands to maintain integrity of the flameproof enclosure. Alignment with standard ABB mounting practices reduces commissioning time and ensures reliable field service.
IE4 efficiency delivers lower losses at full-load and partial-load conditions, translating into meaningful energy savings over the motor’s life cycle. For a 500 kW rated unit, this can reduce electricity consumption in pumping and conveyor applications, improving return on investment (ROI) and supporting sustainability targets. The motor’s stated full-load efficiency around 96.6% at 100% loading under 50 Hz contributes to steadier torque and smoother operation in demanding processes.
Yes. The motor accepts a 400 V supply at 50 Hz and is configured in the D connection arrangement for standard industrial power networks. It is a 6-pole, 3-phase unit designed for S1 continuous duty, with a 500 kW output and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. This compatibility simplifies integration into existing plants and minimizes the need for downstream electrical adaptations.
The unit features Exdbeb explosion protection for hazardous locations (Gas Group IIB), IP55 enclosure protection, and IC Class IC411 insulation with ICLF insulation. It is designed for demanding environments such as refineries and mining sites and adheres to ABB’s mounting and installation standards, enabling safer operation, easier maintenance, and regulatory compliance across global sites.
The heavy-duty cast-iron frame (size 400) with robust bearings and IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports long intervals between maintenance and reduced unplanned downtime. With flameproof protection and corrosion-resistant enclosure, field servicing is limited to routine checks, seals, and bearing lubrication per schedule. Long-term lifecycle cost is further improved by energy savings from IE4 efficiency and fewer replacement parts due to a durable construction in challenging environments.
