FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection configuration with a 500 V input and 50 Hz frequency. Ensure proper motor terminal wiring per ABB installation guidelines, mount using IMB5/IM3001, and size the drive and soft-start components to handle the 11 kW load. Verify IP55 seals and enclosure integrity before commissioning to protect against dust and moisture.
IE5 is the top tier in efficiency for asynchronous and synchronous motors, translating to lower real-world losses. For this 11 kW SynRM motor, full-load efficiency is about 93.7% with slight variation at partial loads (75% and 50%). This reduces annual energy consumption and operating costs, especially in duty cycles with variable torque.
Yes. S9 duty indicates continuous operation with periodic rest or load variations, making it suitable for conveyors, mixers, and packaging lines. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting, IP55 enclosure, and robust bearings support reliable, long-term operation under such duty profiles in demanding environments.
The motor is IE5 energy-efficient, IP55-protected, and features IC411 insulation. It is designed for 50 Hz operation, 500 V input, and 4-pole performance, with a cast-iron frame and reliable bearings suitable for industrial settings that require robust protection and durability.
Expect maintenance to focus on bearing health (6309/C3) and enclosure integrity, with minimal routine servicing due to robust SynRM design and IP55 protection. The energy savings from IE5 efficiency, plus extended equipment life from a heavy-duty cast-iron frame, typically translate to lower lifecycle costs and faster payback in automation upgrades.
