FAQs
This motor uses a standard 355 frame with cast-iron construction, making mounting straightforward on typical base plates and carriers. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling, verify alignment with the driven equipment, and accommodate 1000 m altitude tolerance and 40 °C ambient conditions. Use proper fasteners and shielded wiring to maintain IP55 integrity and facilitate quick replacement if needed.
The unit is a 3-phase, 2-pole, S1 duty motor with a cast-iron frame and IP55 protection. It features IC411 insulation and a 355 frame size, designed for reliable continuous operation. Maximum performance is achieved in environments up to 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, with no two-speed capability to maintain predictable speed in standard mains conditions.
Yes. The IP55 rated enclosure guards against dust and moisture, while the IC411 insulation supports sustained operation under elevated temperatures. The cast-iron frame adds rigidity and vibration resistance, making it well-suited for conveyors, pumps, and fans in factories, warehouses, and process lines with demanding environmental conditions.
Key standards include IP55 protection and IC411 insulation classification. The product aligns with industrial procurement references such as UNSPSC 26101100. The 355 frame and sturdy cast-iron construction support compliance with general industrial installation practices, with origin spanning Finland and China as listed in the ordering data.
The rugged design reduces downtime through durable cast-iron construction, IP55 sealing, and robust insulation, translating to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. Its standard mounting and compatibility with common ABB control interfaces simplify installation, spare-parts planning, and retrofit projects, delivering lower total cost of ownership in high-demand manufacturing environments.
