Feature IE3 premium efficiency at 37 kW reduces electrical losses across full-load and partial-load conditions, delivering tangible energy savings and a lower total cost of ownership. Business Impact Lower energy consumption lowers operating costs and supports sustainability goals, particularly in continuous-duty applications like conveyors, pumps, and fans. Application Suitable for manufacturing lines and process facilities where energy intensity is high. Paragraph 2: Feature Cast iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting provide robust mechanical stability and straightforward integration with existing ABB footprints. Business Impact Durable construction minimizes vibration-induced wear, extends service life, and reduces unplanned downtime, while mounting compatibility shortens installation and retrofit timelines. Application Ideal for heavy-duty equipment in metalworking, mining, and general industry. Paragraph 3: Feature IP55 enclosure protects the motor from dust and water ingress in tough environments. Business Impact This protection lowers ingress-related failures and maintenance costs, improving uptime in dusty plants or light washdown areas. Application Common in bulk material handling, packaging, and process systems. Paragraph 4: Feature Bearing configuration 6212-2Z/C3 and NDE 6209-2Z/C3 support reliable start-up, smooth operation, and long bearing life. Business Impact Reduces maintenance intervals and replacement costs, delivering predictable performance over the motor’s lifecycle. Application Suitable for conveyors, fans, and pumps with demanding duty cycles. Paragraph 5: Feature 2-pole, 50 Hz operation with 400 V supply provides straightforward drive integration and torque delivery. Business Impact Simplifies drive selection and control alignment, enabling faster commissioning and easier maintenance. Application Fits European and other 400 V grids in standard industrial plants. Paragraph 6: Feature Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient up to 40 °C are accounted for in design. Business Impact Ensures reliable performance across diverse plant locations and seasonal conditions, reducing the risk of derating or performance loss. Application Useful in high-altitude installations or facilities with variable environmental conditions.

FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting on a 200 frame. Plan for a robust base, proper alignment, and adequate cable sizing for 400 V 50 Hz service. Consider the 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limits, which influence cooling and ventilation requirements to maintain NDE bearings within spec.
Yes. With 37 kW output and a 2-pole design at 50 Hz, it provides strong torque and reliable speed regulation suitable for belt conveyors and similar line-shower applications. Its IP55 enclosure and cast iron frame support harsh environments, while IMB5 mounting simplifies retrofit or new-install integration.
The motor features IP55 protection, IE3 efficiency, and ICFL insulation class, along with a cast iron frame and 2-pole design. It is built for S1 continuous duty and is compatible with 400 V, 50 Hz power. These characteristics support durable operation in challenging industrial settings.
IE3 motors reduce electrical losses compared with older efficiency classes, delivering lower operating costs over the motor’s life. The actual ROI depends on load profile, duty cycle, and energy prices, but continuous-duty processes such as conveyors, pumps, and fans typically see meaningful reductions in energy spend and improved sustainability metrics.
Follow standard ABB maintenance for IMB5/IM3001 mounted IE3 motors. Regular checks should include bearing condition (6212-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3), lubrication intervals per manufacturer guidance, and inspection of the IP55 seals. Given the cast iron frame, expect robust performance with longer intervals between service in dusty or harsh environments.
