Feature → Business Impact → Application: The cast iron frame provides robust mechanical strength and vibration resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and unscheduled downtime in heavy-duty applications such as conveyors and pump assemblies. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and longer motor life in demanding environments. Feature → Energy efficiency and performance data → Application: IE1 efficiency ratings at 50 Hz and 60 Hz deliver measurable energy savings in continuous-duty loads, helping facilities meet energy targets while maintaining reliable torque for fans and pumps. Feature → IP55 protection and insulation → Application: IP55 and insulation class ICLF ensure reliable operation in dusty or damp environments, such as manufacturing floors or outdoor installations, with reduced risk of insulation degradation over time. Feature → Ease of installation and serviceability → Application: D-End top termination box and cast-iron construction simplify wiring, protection, and field servicing, speeding commissioning and minimizing downtime during upgrades or maintenance windows. Feature → Duty and mounting compatibility → Application: S1 continuous duty, 6-pole design, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility enable straightforward replacement of legacy motors on existing lines, while maintaining consistent performance across equipment like pumps and processing equipment. Feature → Bearing design and longevity → Application: 6215-2Z/C3 and 6212-2Z/C3 bearings resist wear and contamination, enhancing reliability in industrial environments with limited lubrication intervals and demanding start-stop cycles.

FAQs
This motor is designed for continuous operation in industrial settings such as pumps, fans, and conveyors. Its 250 frame, cast-iron construction, and IP55 protection deliver reliable performance in environments with dust, moisture, and temperature up to 40 °C, while IE1 efficiency helps reduce energy costs across steady-state and varying load profiles.
At 50 Hz, Full Load efficiency is approximately 90.8% and at 60 Hz, about 91.7%, reflecting the IE1 rating. Partial-load performance remains strong with values around 90.4–91.1% at 50% to 75% loads, delivering meaningful energy savings for continuous-duty processes such as pumping and air-moving applications.
Yes. With IP55 protection and an ICFL insulation class, it tolerates dust and moisture typical of manufacturing floors and outdoor installations. The 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient capability, combined with a rugged cast-iron frame and D-End top termination, simplify field wiring and reduce the risk of premature insulation or frame fatigue.
The motor uses a 250 frame with IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility and bearing sets including 6215-2Z/C3 (frame bearing) and 6212-2Z/C3 (NDE). These bearings are designed for longer service life under frequent start-stop cycles and offer straightforward maintenance intervals with commonly available replacement parts.
The model is not made-to-order and requires a minimum quantity of one piece. Origin is China (CN), with tariff code 85015230. This standard availability supports straightforward procurement and easy substitution in a multi-line drive train, ensuring alignment with existing ABB or third-party components in your electrical and mechanical assemblies.
