IE4 efficiency is the core feature, delivering tangible energy savings across full and partial loads. Business impact includes lower operating costs and cooler motor operation, contributing to extended bearing life and reduced maintenance cycles. Application contexts span conveyors, pumps, and industrial fans where consistent torque and reduced heat generation improve process stability. The IP55 enclosure and cast iron frame offer rugged protection in dusty or damp environments, enabling longer service intervals and safer operation. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and the D end terminal location simplify integration with existing control systems and panel layouts, reducing installation time. The motor’s 2-pole design at 400 V supports common plant voltages, while S1 duty ensures reliable continuous operation in demanding lines. Local stock in Germany shortens lead times and supports faster project kickoffs, with MOQ of 1 piece to support both pilots and production runs.

FAQs
The motor supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a D-type connection configuration. These options enable straightforward integration into standard conveyor, pump, and fan assemblies while aligning with common panel layouts and cabling schemes. This compatibility minimizes custom fabrication and reduces installation risk for new drives or upgrades.
This is a 3-phase, 400 V, 50 Hz motor rated for 15 kW with 2 poles. It features IE4 efficiency, IP55 protection, and an insulation class suitable for demanding environments. The motor uses a D connection configuration and is designed for continuous duty (S1) in standard industrial duty cycles.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the 40 °C ambient rating and 1000 m altitude capability ensure reliable performance in challenging facilities. The cast-iron frame and IMB3/IM1001 mounting further enhance durability and vibration resistance in demanding production lines.
The motor achieves IE4 efficiency with full-load efficiency around 93.3% at 50 Hz and 93.5% at 75% load, delivering meaningful energy savings over lifecycle. Its 2-pole, 160-frame design supports stable torque and rapid startup for conveyors and pumps, while low heat generation contributes to reduced cooling requirements and longer bearing life.
This model is stocked at Menden, Germany, with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece, enabling quick pilots and scalable production runs. It carries standard industrial durability, broad compatibility with existing ABB motor families, and local logistics support to minimize lead times and project delays.
