Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, 15 kW, 690 V, 50 Hz with Y connection enables precise, efficient power conversion and robust torque at start-up, reducing energy consumption and damping mechanical stress in conveyors and pumps. This translates to lower energy bills and extended motor life in continuous processes, especially where uptime matters. Application: heavy-duty material handling, process automation, and HVAC systems using high-inertia loads. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron frame and 160 frame size provide rugged mechanical integrity with long-term wear resistance in tough factory floors; Benefit: lower maintenance costs and fewer unscheduled outages. Application: packaging lines, bottling, and textile machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 and IC411 insulation class support harsh environments and wide ambient temperatures; Benefit: safer operation and compliance with industrial electrical standards in food & beverage, chemicals, and metalworking. Application: production lines with washdown or dusty environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility and D-End top terminator location simplify installation and service; Benefit: faster commissioning and easier retrofits in retrofit projects or new builds. Application: retrofit of legacy drives and new-line integrations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ABB EcoSolutions and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) support sustainability reporting; Benefit: favorable procurement metrics and reduced life-cycle impact for green initiatives. Application: plant-level ESG reporting and supplier compliance.

FAQs

The motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator location and a Y connection configuration, designed for straightforward installation in standard frame 160 assemblies. This supports quick retrofits and consistent pulley or gear drives in conveyor and pump lines while keeping wiring simple for 690 V, 50 Hz systems.
Key specs include 15 kW output power, 690 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 4-pole configuration, IP55 protection, and a 681 mm length with a cast iron frame. The motor operates with a 650 V nominal voltage, is designed for Y configuration, and supports 3-phase industrial drives with robust thermal tolerance up to 40 °C ambient.
Yes. The machine is designed as an IE5 SynRM solution with high efficiency metrics and documented IE4 performance data at 50 Hz, which translates to lower energy consumption, reduced heat generation, and longer service life under continuous duty. This makes it a strong choice for conveyors, pumps, and fans in demanding production lines.
The motor carries IP55 protection and IC411 insulation with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. It is manufactured in Finland (FI) and aligns with ABB EcoSolutions. WEEE categorization is noted, and the part adheres to standard industrial classifications (UNSPSC 26101100) for procurement in manufacturing environments.
Expect longer intervals between maintenance due to the robust SynRM design, durable bearings (6309/C3 and 6209/C3), and cast-iron frame. The combination of energy efficiency, reliable performance, and ABB EcoSolutions support drives lower total cost of ownership through reduced energy use, fewer unplanned outages, and easier maintenance planning.
