ABB can now offer a complete range of high-efficiency motors for explosive atmospheres with the launch of IE2 motors in frame sizes 80 to 132. Its range of IECEx/ATEX certified motors now covers frame sizes 80 to 450, with power ratings of 0.55kW – 950kW. The motors are rated at efficiency class IE2 at 400V 50Hz.
The motors are available in two to eight pole versions, in all protection classes. High-efficiency means savings in energy costs and reduced CO2 emissions while also offering the advantages of increased safety, longer lifetime, lower maintenance, higher reliability and uninterupted production.
An improved fastening of the fan cover on sizes 80 to 112 prevents vibration problems, while detachable forged steel feet offer maximum durability and resistance to shock loads. Motors for explosive atmospheres are not covered by the EU MEPS energy saving regulations, but they are included in IEC standard 60034-30. Demand for high efficiency motors for explosive atmospheres is increasing, and ABB can now meet this demand with a range of products in all protection types.
