ABB India has unveiled its latest range of flameproof motors, designed for maximum safety and efficiency in potentially explosive environments. These motors are ideal for industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Pharma, and Food & Beverage, where hazardous gases are present, making safety a top priority.
Manufactured at ABB’s state-of-the-art Bengaluru facility, the new motors comply with PESO (Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization) standards and offer exceptional reliability, durability, and energy efficiency. With power ratings ranging from 37kW to 500kW, they are available in frame sizes 280-355 and are certified for use in gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC.
Sanjeev Arora, President, Motion Business, ABB India, commented, “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.”
ABB’s flameproof motors feature pressure-tested enclosures that can withstand high pressure and prevent flame propagation in the event of an internal explosion. These advanced motors come in IE2, IE3, and IE4 efficiency classes, optimizing energy use and reducing operational costs, especially for variable torque applications operating at partial loads.
Additionally, the motors’ precision engineering ensures quieter operation, reducing noise levels and minimizing maintenance requirements. ABB’s flameproof motors are trusted by industries worldwide, with over 500,000 units supplied for use in hazardous environments globally.
