FAQs
This motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a Y connection configuration, enabling straightforward installation into standard 3-phase drive systems. The D-End top termination supports clean wiring routing and quick retrofits in existing enclosures.
Key specs include 7.5 kW output at 500 V, 50 Hz, and 4 poles with an IP55 enclosure. It features IE5 efficiency, IC411 insulation, and a cast-iron frame (size 160) suitable for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and S9 duty.
Yes. The motor is rated for altitudes up to 1000 meters and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, making it suitable for many factory floors and outdoor installations within these limits.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation. It is supported by sustainability documentation such as EPD for synchronous reluctance motors and ABB EcoSolutions initiatives.
The IE5 efficiency reduces energy costs, while robust bearings and cast-iron construction extend service life under S9 duty. Combined with easy installation and retrofit compatibility, this lowers maintenance frequency and overall lifecycle costs.
