FAQs
This motor uses a standard 280 frame with cast iron construction and IMB3 IM1001 mounting, aligning with common VFD-driven systems and OEM mounting patterns. It supports straightforward retrofits and seamless integration with ABB and third-party drives, reducing commissioning time and enabling quick start-ups on conveyors and pumps.
Key specs include IC416 insulation, IP55 protection, 2 poles for S1 continuous duty, altitude up to 1000 m, ambient temperature rated at 40 °C, and a 280 frame with a 685 kg net weight. These factors define operating limits, ensuring reliable performance in hot or dusty environments and preventing insulation breakdown.
Yes. The 2-pole, 3-phase design delivers solid starting torque and steady torque during operation, suitable for conveyors, pumps, fans, and mixers. The cast iron frame provides structural rigidity to withstand heavy loads and misalignment, while IP55 and IC416 support protect against environmental stress.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC416 insulation, with IMB3 IM1001 mounting classification. It is cataloged under UNSPSC 26101100 and aligns with typical industrial compliance requirements for durable, continuous-duty motors used in harsh plants and equipment.
The rugged cast iron frame and high-protection rating reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance frequency, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). With a robust S1 duty cycle and reliable thermal performance, lifecycle costs are lowered through longer bearing life, fewer repairs, and simpler spares management for OEMs and maintenance teams.
