ABB India has introduced an extended range of low voltage (LV) flameproof motors, offering the safest solution for industries operating in hazardous environments.
The advanced motors are designed to deliver superior safety, reliability, and energy efficiency. They are ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage, where explosive gases pose significant risks.
Manufactured at ABB’s cutting-edge facility in Bengaluru, these motors meet strict regulatory standards. They comply with the Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization (PESO) guidelines.
With this launch, ABB India now offers a comprehensive flameproof motor range with outputs from 0.18kW to 500kW, ensuring safe operations in the most demanding industrial conditions.
Advanced Design for Enhanced Safety
The new flameproof motors feature a robust, pressure-tested enclosure that can withstand high internal pressures and prevent flame propagation during an internal explosion. This advanced design provides maximum protection in hazardous areas.
The expanded range includes motors with power ratings from 37kW to 500kW, available in frame sizes 280-355. They are certified for use in gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Commitment to Innovation and Performance
Sanjeev Arora, President of the Motion Business at ABB India stated, “With this launch of our latest range of LV flameproof motors, industries operating in hazardous environments can now achieve unmatched safety, reliability, and energy efficiency. Engineered to outrun, these Made-in-India motors are designed for the toughest conditions, combining advanced flameproof technology with superior performance. Leaner and cleaner, they enhance operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with global standards”.
Built for Extreme Conditions
ABB engineers its new motors to operate reliably in extreme environments, withstanding ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C. This durability makes them ideal for demanding applications where both safety and performance are critical.
Energy Efficiency at the Core
The motors are available in IE2, IE3, and IE4 efficiency classes, optimizing performance while minimizing energy consumption.
Because industrial equipment often operates under partial load conditions, these motors are designed to maintain high efficiency at around 75% loading. This feature significantly reduces energy consumption and offers long-term cost savings.
For variable torque applications that run primarily at partial loads, pairing these motors with variable frequency drives (VFD) further enhances energy savings. This combination improves operational efficiency and reduces energy costs.
Quiet, Low-Maintenance Operation
Due to precision manufacturing, ABB’s flameproof motors operate with lower noise levels, improving workplace safety and reducing maintenance requirements. Their smooth and quiet performance enhances the working environment while ensuring long-lasting reliability.
Conclusion
With the introduction of this advanced range of flameproof motors, ABB India reinforces its position as a leader in providing safe and efficient solutions for hazardous environments.
According to the press release, these motors offer superior protection, energy efficiency, and reliable performance. They meet the toughest industrial challenges while adhering to global safety standards.
