Flameproof Exdbeb protection provides a proven safety envelope for hazardous-area installations, reducing the risk of ignition in explosive atmospheres and enabling compliant operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This translates to lower insurance costs, safer plant floors, and uninterrupted production similar to other IECEx-certified equipment. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings at full and partial loads, with Full Load (100%) around 94.6% at 50 Hz and up to 95.0% at 60 Hz, supporting lower operating costs over the motor’s life while maintaining strong torque characteristics for heavy-duty applications. The IP55 enclosure protects critical components from dust and water ingress, reducing maintenance frequency and extending service intervals in harsh environments. Cast Iron frame size 400 and robust bearing arrangements (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) ensure longevity in high-vibration settings, improving uptime and reducing replacement costs. IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation in existing plant layouts, while the 8-pole, 355 kW, 400V configuration delivers reliable performance for continuous S1 duty in demanding processes. Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature up to 40 °C are supported without derating, providing wide geographic applicability. The combination of Ex protection, flameproof design, and rugged construction offers a compelling total cost of ownership, minimizing unplanned outages and easing regulatory compliance for reference projects in petrochemical, mining, and process industries. This motor’s mounting, enclosure, and electrical characteristics align with common industry standards, enabling straightforward integration with ABB and third-party drives, control systems, and protective relays.

FAQs
For Ex environments, follow the Exdbeb flameproof installation requirements and confirm suitable mounting with IMB5/IM3001. Use the D connection configuration and ensure the IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation are intact. Verify the 8-pole, frame size 400, and 355 kW power rating align with the system’s drive train, and install within altitude and ambient limits (up to 1000 m, 40 °C). Employ appropriate cable glands, gland seals, and protective relays. Ensure alignment with local standards and plant safety procedures and check that the termination box is positioned for easy access and maintenance.
IE3 efficiency class yields measurable energy savings across operating points. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is approximately 94.6%, with 75% load around 94.9% and 50% load about 94.5%. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 95.0%, with 75% load near 95.1% and 50% load around 94.5%. These figures translate into lower electricity consumption in continuous duty (S1) operations, reducing operating costs and supporting sustainability targets without compromising torque or startup performance.
Yes, the motor is suitable for offshore gas facilities given the Ex protection (Exdbeb), IIB gas group, and robust enclosure (IP55) designed for hazardous areas. The 8-pole, 355 kW rating at 400 V and 50 Hz, along with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, enables reliable operation in restricted spaces. Ensure installation follows maritime electrical standards and local regulatory requirements, and verify that the equipment is anchored to withstand vibration and environmental conditions typical of offshore platforms.
This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous environments, IP55 protection class for dust and water ingress, and IC411 insulation with a cast-iron frame. It is rated for S1 duty and supports 8 poles at 355 kW, with 400 V and 50 Hz operation. Certification aligns with global safety standards relevant to chemical, petrochemical, and mining operations, ensuring regulatory compliance and installer confidence.
Expect lower maintenance frequency due to the rugged cast-iron frame, robust bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), and IP55 protection. IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs in continuous service, while the flameproof design minimizes unplanned outages in hazardous areas. The combination of high reliability, long service life, and reduced energy usage supports a favorable return on investment for project deployments in challenging industrial environments.
