Ex protection is the core safety feature that minimizes ignition risk in IIB gas environments, enabling safe operation in hazardous zones. ABB Exdbeb flameproof design increases resilience in chemical plants and oil refining. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation with IE2 efficiency ensure reliable performance across temperatures and altitude up to 1000 m. The motor's cast-iron frame—frame size 400—together with a top-entry terminator box supports quick, clean installation and straightforward wiring in tight spaces. Energy efficiency and rugged construction translate to lower lifecycle costs, easier compliance, and safer operation in industrial automation and hazardous-area environments. With Finland-origin manufacturing and a robust cast-iron frame, it supports retrofit projects and maintains spare-part availability across global supply chains, minimizing downtime during maintenance windows.

FAQs
Installations in hazardous areas require attention to Ex protection and enclosure class. For this motor, ensure Exdbeb flameproof compliance, IP55 protection against dust and water jets, and correct frame mounting on a 400-size base. The top-entry terminator box simplifies field wiring, and the 8-pole, cast-iron frame supports reliable operation at temperatures up to 40C and up to 1000 m altitude.
IE2 efficiency reduces energy consumption across full-load and part-load operation, delivering Full Load (100%) 93.5% and partial-load figures around 93.3–93.8% as listed. In practice this means lower electricity costs for pumps, fans, and conveyors in continuous-duty processes, especially where load varies. Cooling and auxiliary drive costs also decrease as heat rejection stays within design limits.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for IIB gas groups and hazardous-area installations. Key certifications include flameproof Ex protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IE2 efficiency. These conspire to meet common industry standards for safety, reliability, and energy performance in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments.
Maintenance considerations center on keeping the top-entry terminator box accessible, monitoring bearing condition (6324/C3 and 6319/C3 are used here), and ensuring proper lubrication intervals per service plans. The 8-pole design supports predictable torque and rotation. Availability of spare parts is aided by the cast-iron frame and Finland-origin manufacturing, reducing downtime during overhauls.
This model shares the flameproof Exdbeb protection and IE2 efficiency profile with the ABB M3KP IE2 series, offering compatibility for retrofits or new builds. Its 400 frame and top-entry terminator box simplify mounting and wiring changes, while the Ex protections and IP55 rating align with typical hazardous-area drive requirements in industrial automation projects.
