Exdbeb flameproof protection delivers intrinsic safety for hazardous-area operation, supporting ATEX/IECEx compliance and rapid commissioning. This reduces the risk of unplanned shutdowns and costly retrofits in plant turnarounds. Typical applications include chemical processing, oil and gas extraction, and mining conveyors in zone IIB environments. The IP55 enclosure provides dependable protection against dust and water ingress, enabling uninterrupted operation in dusty or humid plants and reducing weather-related failure modes. With a 12-pole, 400-frame design, torque is managed smoothly and startup transients are dampened, improving conveyor and mixer performance while enabling compatibility with standard ABB drives and control cabinets. Cast iron frame construction and bearings such as 6324/C3 deliver durability and long service life under continuous S1 duty, even in tough environments. Temperature class T4 and altitude up to 1000 m ensure consistent cooling and stable performance at 40 °C ambient temperature, while the insulation system IC411 supports reliable operation under full-load conditions with minimal thermal risk. Efficiency data shows IE Class NA performance around full-load 95% across partial loads, contributing to energy savings and lower operating costs over the motor’s lifecycle. Finally, the motor’s Exde/Flameproof attributes, gas group IIB compatibility, and rugged mechanicals guarantee robust operation for demanding plant sections such as conveyors, mixers, and pumps in chemical and mining industries.

FAQs
Yes. This motor is designed for integration with standard ABB drive systems and IEC interfaces, allowing seamless VFD-controlled operation. The 12-pole, S1 duty configuration combined with Exdbeb flameproof protection ensures safe, controllable performance in hazardous areas while delivering consistent torque, smooth acceleration, and predictable efficiency under varying load conditions.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure for dust and water ingress protection. It is designed for Gas Group IIB and uses IC411 insulation with Temperature Class T4, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous zones and compliance with ATEX/IECEx-style requirements.
Ideal for oil and gas refineries, chemical processing plants, and heavy mining operations, especially where conveyors, mixers, and pumps operate in zone IIB areas. Its rugged cast iron frame, 12-pole arrangement, and flameproof protection ensure reliable performance in demanding, high-temperature, and dusty environments.
Plan for periodic health checks of the 12-pole machine aligned with your maintenance schedule. The top-terminator box location simplifies wiring access, while the robust cast iron frame and bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3) support longer MTBF. Monitor inverter cooling, ensure proper ventilation for the ambient 40 °C, and verify Ex protection integrity during inspections.
The flameproof design reduces regulatory risk and downtime in hazardous areas, while its high efficiency near 95% full load helps lower energy costs. Durability and low maintenance requirements translate to longer MTBF, fewer service interventions, and predictable performance for critical line equipment, contributing to a favorable return on investment over the motor’s lifecycle.
