Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE3 energy efficiency rating reduces running costs for continuous-duty applications, delivering measurable energy savings on conveyors, pumps, and fans while maintaining stable torque curves even under partial-load conditions. This translates to lower electrical bills and improved sustainability in production lines. Application: high-load transfer systems and processing lines seeking cost-per-ton reductions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection combined with IC411 insulation enhances reliability in dusty and humid environments, lowering maintenance frequency and risk of downtime. This is critical for food & beverage, chemical processing, and metalworking facilities where washdowns or high ambient moisture are common. Application: washdown zones, dusty production corridors, and outdoor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast-iron frame (5800) with bearing 6324/C3 and IMB3 IM1001 mounting improves service life and retrofit ease, enabling quicker equipment swaps without structural modifications. Application: plant-wide motor upgrade projects and OEM integrations requiring robust, vibration-tolerant frames. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 6-pole, 3-phase S1 duty and a D-End top terminator box simplify wiring, startup sequencing, and on-site commissioning, reducing install time and commissioning risk. Application: material handling, pumps, and fans in automation cells where rapid deployment is valued. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude specifications ensure dependable performance in diverse geographic sites, facilitating global rollouts and maintaining uptime in regional plants. Application: multi-site installations and remote facilities with varied environmental conditions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Verified rotational direction on both sides and a standard 1-piece MOQ streamline inventory management and installation planning, supporting procurement teams with predictable lead times. Application: industrial plants pursuing lean inventory and fast-changeovers.

FAQs
The motor uses a 5800 frame with IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a D-End top termination box, designed for straightforward retrofits and OEM integrations. Its 1-piece MOQ simplifies procurement, while the 6-pole, S1 duty configuration aligns with common industrial drive systems and standard ABB/M3BN interfaces, enabling quick commissioning and minimal site adaptation.
IE3 efficiency ensures high electrical efficiency at full load, with reported Full Load (100%) efficiency around 95.8%. The motor maintains stable torque at 75% and 50% partial loads (95.4% and 94.6% respectively), supporting predictable performance in variable-speed and constant-speed applications such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides robust protection against dust ingress and water splashes, while IC411 insulation class supports reliable operation in elevated ambient temperatures. This makes the motor well-suited for harsh manufacturing environments, including material handling and process lines.
The motor is rated IE3 for energy efficiency, with IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation. These certifications align with energy and safety compliance requirements for many industrial sectors, facilitating regulatory acceptance and utility incentive qualification during project funding and equipment audits.
Robust cast-iron framing, high-quality bearings (6324/C3VL0241, 6319/C3VL0241), and a proven IMB3 IM1001 layout contribute to longer bearing life and reduced maintenance cycles. Combined with IE3 energy savings and reliable international serviceability, facilities typically see shorter payback periods and lower lifecycle costs compared with standard IE2 motors in similar loads.
