ABB has launched a new range of motors for smoke venting applications, designed to mitigate the development of fires in industrial and public buildings, tunnels and other locations.
The motors have dualpurpose certification and can also be used for standard ventilation. They are tested to withstand temperatures up to 400° C for two hours.
ABB’s smoke venting motors comply with the new European standard EN 12101-3, which became mandatory in new installations on 1 April 2005.
Smoke venting motors are used in emergency ventilation to create smoke-free areas for rescue and fire fighting operations, as well as to help reduce the spread of smoke and fire to other areas.
The new European standard determines the safety requirements to be fulfilled by motors intended for ventilation systems in closed or underground public spaces.
ABB’s smoke venting motors range from 0.55 to 560 kW, IEC frame sizes 80 to 400. Two-pole motors are available up to frame size 250 and 4-12 pole up to 400 frame size, single or two-speed, in aluminium or cast iron.
