FAQs
This motor uses a Cast Iron 280 frame with IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a standard IP55 enclosure. Ensure compatible IEC mounting feet alignment, verify enclosure protection in dusty environments, and plan lifting and handling for the 645 kg net weight. Follow ABB installation manuals for wiring, torque specs, and alignment to minimize vibration and energy loss.
The motor is a 3-phase, single-speed design with Voltage Code X and 2-pole configuration suitable for S1 duty. It features IC416 insulation and insulation class, IP55 protection, ambient rating 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m. Use with compatible ABB drives to optimize control, starting torque, and energy efficiency while maintaining safety margins.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure rating, rugged cast iron frame, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting make it well-suited for dusty, humid, and hot production lines. Its robust construction supports continuous operation (S1), while high torque stability reduces startup surges. This combination is ideal for long-running conveyors and industrial pumps in challenging settings.
The motor’s rugged build and compatibility with ABB drives reduce spare-part diversity and simplify maintenance planning. The IP55 and IC416 insulation support longer service intervals and fewer unplanned outages, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The 1-piece MOQ and standardized frame streamline procurement, accelerating project timelines and reducing total cost of ownership.
Country of origin includes Finland (FI) and China (CN); customs tariff number is 85015381, and UNSPSC is 26101100. The motor meets protection and insulation standards such as IP55 and IC416, with IMB3 IM1001 mounting. This combination supports regulatory compliance and ease of sourcing for multi-site deployments.
