FAQs
The motor uses a 160 frame with a cast iron housing and IMB3 IM1001 mounting, plus a D-End top termination box. Plan alignment supports with standard base mounting and ensure correct shaft alignment, permits, and electrical connections to match the S1 duty and 6-pole configuration. Confirm ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude under 1000 m for optimal performance.
The motor features IP55 protection, offering dust and water ingress resistance suitable for challenging environments. It uses insulation class ICFL, which supports reliable operation under higher ambient temperatures and steady loads, contributing to longer motor life in demanding industrial settings.
Yes. The model is specified for up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, with ICFL insulation and robust protection. This makes it suitable for outdoor or semi-indoor installations where environmental stress is a concern, while maintaining performance and reliability.
At 60 Hz, the motor delivers Full Load efficiency of about 89.0%, with Partial Load (75%) around 88.8% and 50% loading near 88.4%. It is a 3-phase, 6-pole motor with Voltage Code S and a continuous S1 duty rating, designed for steady, long-duration operation in industrial plants.
The M2BAX-based ABB motor originates from China (CN) and has a customs tariff number of 85015230. It is available with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece, and the product is suitable for retrofits or new builds where reliability and standard ABB mounting practices are important for procurement and regulatory compliance.
