Industry-leading motors for explosive atmospheres

ABB’s flameproof low voltage motors are specifically designed for use in potentially explosive environments, offering a robust solution that contains internal explosions and prevents external flame propagation. Manufactured with a flameproof cast iron frame and terminal box, these motors are certified for gas groups IIB and IIC and meet stringent ATEX, IECEx, and EN standards.

With an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and durability, ABB flameproof motors perform reliably in extreme temperatures, corrosive dust, and humid conditions. Their Ex db and Ex db eb designs provide flexibility for a range of industrial needs, making them the ideal choice for the oil, gas, and chemical sectors.
