ABB Hazardous Area Motors

The motor enclosure shall be designed in such a way that no internal explosion can be transmitted to the explosive atmosphere surrounding the motor.

Motor range 0.18k.W. – 400k.W.

The design of motor prevents the occurrence of sparks, arcs or hot spots in service (including starting and locked rotor situation) that could reach the self ignition temperature of the surrounding, potentially explosive atmosphere, in all inner and outer parts of the motor.

Motor range 0.18k.W. – 400k.W.

This motor is designed in such a way that no sparks can occur in normal operation, used within the ratings specified by the manufacturer, which excludes thermal requirements due to starting or accidental stalling.

Motor range 0.37k.W. – 1000k.W.

This protection prevents any explosion transmission of dust because the ingress of dust into the motor is prevented by the IP protection being either IP55 (called dust protected) or IP65 (called dust tight).

The maximum surface temperature outside the motor must not exceed the temperature class for which the motor is certified.

No sparks must occur outside the motor enclosure

Motor range – 0.37k.W. – 710k.W.
