Robust cast iron frame construction provides excellent rigidity and heat dissipation, translating to longer motor life in challenging environments and reduced maintenance costs in continuous operation. Business impact: minimized downtime and lower total cost of ownership; application: conveyors and heavy-duty pump systems where uptime is critical. The 355 frame size supports straightforward mounting on standard bases, accelerating installation and serviceability. Application: retrofit projects and new line builds where fast deployment matters. IP55 ingress protection shields internal windings from dust and water exposure in typical factory floors, improving reliability and reducing field failures. Application: dusty or damp environments such as process industries and air handling systems. Insulation class IC416 combined with IMB3 IM1001 frame enables operation at higher ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, ensuring consistent performance. Application: plants with heat and altitude constraints where voltage and performance stability are essential. The motor is a conventional, single-speed S1 unit with a 2-pole configuration, designed for continuous operation and predictable torque. Application: general-purpose drives in pumps, fans, and material handling. The product ships as a standard, off-the-shelf solution (Made To Order = No), supporting rapid procurement and minimal lead times. Application: OEMs and integrators aiming to reduce stock complexity while maintaining supply reliability. Built-on compatibility with ABB ecosystem ensures easy maintenance, standardized spare parts, and simplified service across multiple lines. Application: multi-site operations seeking consistent maintenance practices and cost control.

FAQs
This motor uses a 355 frame with a cast iron housing and IMB3 IM1001 class, designed for base mounting on standard angular or flat bases. Ensure clearance for cooling, verify base alignment, and accommodate the 0 pallet packaging level for safe handling. The 2-pole configuration supports straightforward wiring and a simple commissioning sequence, minimizing on-site integration time.
The motor features a 2-pole, 355 frame design with S1 duty (continuous operation). It provides IP55 protection and IC416 insulation, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Made from cast iron, it offers robust mechanical stability and reliable torque for demanding applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. IP55 protection shields against dust ingress and water exposure, while IC416 insulation supports operation in higher ambient temperatures. The combination is ideal for factory floors, process areas, and conveyors where dust, moisture, and temperature rise are common, helping prevent insulation failure and extending service life.
Its cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and IC416 insulation reduce the likelihood of field failures and insulation degradation, lowering maintenance frequency. The standard 355 frame and IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility streamline spare parts management and technician training, enabling faster replacements and consistent maintenance across multiple sites.
This motor is well-suited for industrial pumps, fans, and conveyors in manufacturing, processing, and HVAC sectors. Its robust construction supports continuous operation in demanding environments, while its standard frame and ABB compatibility ensure easy integration with existing drives, controllers, and maintenance programs across installations.
