Exdbeb flameproof protection combined with IP55 enclosure delivers safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, enabling installation in gas groups IIB and other hazardous zones with reduced risk of ignition. This directly lowers regulatory and safety-compliance costs while enabling production lines to run continuously without frequent shutdowns for protective upgrades. The IE2 efficiency class, with Full Load 93.5% and Partial Load up to 93.8%, translates to meaningful energy savings and lower operating expenses across variable-load applications such as pumps and fans in process plants. The 8-pole, 400 frame, cast-iron housing provides rugged durability and compatibility with standard bolt patterns and mounting footprints, simplifying retrofit or new-install projects and reducing installation time. The top terminator box location aids fast, clean electrical connections, improving commissioning speed and reducing wiring errors. With insulation class ICLF and operating limits at 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, the motor stays within performance envelopes in challenging environments. The bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) and IM class (IMB3 IM1001) support long service intervals and predictable reliability, lowering maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership. This motor is suitable for a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, mining, and metal fabrication, where durable construction and proven flameproof protection are essential for uptime and safety. With a rated 3-phase input and Ex-protection compatibility, it can be integrated with existing ABB drives and automation ecosystems, enabling standardized spare parts and streamlined procurement.

FAQs
Plan for Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure by confirming the installation location aligns with Gas Group IIB ratings. Use the top terminator box for easier access, ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C, and verify altitude remains within 1000 m. The 8-pole, 400 frame with Cast Iron housing fits standard mounting patterns and aligns with common ABB drives for straightforward integration.
This is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor with IE2 efficiency, Full Load 93.5% and Partial Load up to 93.8%. It runs at 8 poles, frame 400, voltage code E, and is rated for S1 duty. It supports direction of rotation on both sides and uses Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor employs Exdbeb flameproof protection and is rated for Gas Group IIB, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation. These features meet common regulatory requirements for hazardous-area motors and provide a reliable solution for oil & gas processing, chemical plants, and similar domains.
Critical certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation class, and IE2 efficiency. It also features an IMB3 IM1001 design, 8-pole configuration, and a top-placed terminator box, all contributing to compliance, reliability, and ease of maintenance in industrial applications.
The IE2 efficiency reduces energy costs across full and partial load scenarios, while robust bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3) and a cast-iron frame extend service intervals. The flameproof and IP55 protections lower downtime due to safety incidents, and the top-entry terminal box simplifies installation and future servicing, delivering lower total cost of ownership in demanding plants.
