FAQs
Plan for a 180 mm frame, cast iron housing, and a D-End top terminator box to simplify wiring. Ensure mounting compatibility with standard ABB mounting patterns, account for a 169 kg net weight, and confirm clearance for service access. The motor is designed for IP55 protection and up to 1000 m altitude with 40 C ambient temperature, which informs enclosure and enclosure choices on site.
This motor operates as a 4-pole, 3-phase device with IE1 efficiency. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 89.9%, decreasing slightly at partial loads (75% and 50%). At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is about 91.0% with similar partial-load figures. It is a continuous-duty (S1) motor suitable for demanding, steady-state operation.
Yes. The motor is designed for continuous-duty service (S1) with IP55 ingress protection, ICFL insulation, and operation up to 40 C ambient and 1000 m altitude. The cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6210-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3) support durability in abrasive or dusty factory floors and outdoor areas when paired with appropriate protection and cooling.
Key features include IP55 protection for dust and moisture resistance, ICFL insulation class for thermal reliability, and IE1 efficiency ratings at 50/60 Hz. While not listing CE or SIL certifications in the provided data, the combination of IP55, insulation class, and efficiency aligns with common industry standards for industrial motors.
Expect reduced downtime due to robust mechanical design (cast iron frame, durable bearings) and a straightforward D-End top box for maintenance. IE1 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s lifetime, while the 180 frame size and 169/179 kg weight indicate a rugged installation suitable for retrofits and new lines, ultimately improving total cost of ownership.
