FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection for 690 V systems and is designed for 50 Hz operation with a 4-pole configuration. It supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and IP55 protection, making it suitable for rugged environments. Ensure proper shaft alignment, attach to the IMB5 mount, and pair with a compatible variable speed drive or soft starter to optimize performance.
The motor delivers 11 kW output at 50 Hz with a 690 V input, 4 poles, and a frame size of 160. It conforms to IE5 efficiency class and IP55 protection, with IC411 insulation and a cast iron frame. It operates with a Y connection and is suitable for continuous duty (S9) in industrial environments.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the cast iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting support rugged usage. It is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, which helps maintain reliable performance in many manufacturing sites and outdoor locations.
The motor features IE5 energy efficiency, contributing to lower running costs and regulatory alignment. It also carries IP55 protection and robust insulation (ICFL/IC411) ratings, with mounting compatibility for IMB5/IM3001. ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) are available to support sustainability and compliance programs.
The IE5 efficiency class reduces energy consumption, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life. The rugged cast iron frame and bearing configuration (6309/C3) extend service intervals with durable components, while IP55 protection minimizes maintenance due to environmental exposure. Comprehensive documentation and compatibility with standard 690 V systems simplify spare parts provisioning and lifecycle planning.
