ABB Smoke extraction motors for critical infrastructure

ABB smoke extraction motors are engineered for critical fire safety applications where performance under pressure is non-negotiable. As IEC Low voltage motors designed for tunnel ventilation, they play a vital role in smoke control during emergencies. In the event of a fire, these high-temperature electric motors ensure reliable operation of jet fan motors and axial fan motors, helping to disperse smoke and toxic fumes efficiently. Certified as EN 12101-3 motors, they serve as trusted fire-rated electric motors across a wide range of environments, including tunnels, stairwells, theaters, and car park smoke extraction systems.

Beyond emergencies, ABB IEC motors also function as part of daily ventilation systems for tunnels and enclosed spaces. Integrated with variable speed drive motors (VSDs), they enable smart fan control that reduces energy use and operational costs. Available in energy efficient motor classes up to high-efficiency motors IE4, they are ideal for both comfort ventilation and industrial fire safety use. From malls to warehouses, ABB’s high-temperature resistant motors are built for performance, reliability, and long-term value in all critical smoke extraction motor applications.
