Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE2 high-efficiency rating reduces energy consumption across heavy-duty loads, translating to lower operating costs and improved lifecycle cost of ownership for pumps, fans, and conveyors in continuous-process environments. This improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reduces peak electrical demand in plants with large motor fleets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame and precision bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3) deliver exceptional durability and vibration resistance, enabling longer service intervals and less unscheduled downtime in demanding manufacturing lines such as steel processing, mining, and chemical processing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection and IC411 insulation provide reliable performance in dusty, humid, and elevated-temperature environments, supporting uninterrupted operation in outdoor installations, wastewater treatment, and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two-speed motor with 6 poles supports flexible process tuning and energy optimization, reducing mechanical wear and allowing rapid response to changing production rates in pumps, blowers, and compressors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Top-termination box location simplifies wiring and commissioning, speeding installation on crowded machines and enabling easier retrofits in existing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard, non-make-to-order design with 1-piece MOQ and international origin coverage (Finland/China) streamlines procurement and global sourcing for OEMs and maintenance teams working across multinational plants. These attributes collectively support compliance, reduced downtime, and measurable energy savings in industrial motors.

FAQs
Yes. This 3-phase squirrel cage motor is designed for variable-speed drive (VFD) applications. It supports a two-speed configuration and a standard voltage code in line with ABB’s IE2 class, allowing seamless integration with common industrial drives while delivering energy efficiency and precise speed control.
Plan for a top-termination box layout to simplify wiring in tight enclosures. The motor uses a rugged cast-iron frame (400) with bearings 6324/C3 and 6319/C3, and an IMB5/IM3001 mounting class, which informs alignment and foundation needs. Ensure ambient temperature, altitude, and enclosure conditions meet IP55/IC411 specifications.
Ideal for pumps, compressors, fans, and conveyors in heavy industrial settings such as oil, steel, and water treatment facilities. The 400 kW output, IE2 efficiency, and dual-speed capability provide flexibility to handle varying load profiles while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, along with a robust cast-iron frame and dual-speed capability. While CE/SIL certifications depend on regional compliance programs, the design aligns with common industry protection and insulation standards for demanding environments.
Energy savings from IE2 efficiency, combined with durable bearings and a robust cast-iron frame, contribute to lower life-cycle costs and reduced maintenance frequency. Two-speed operation further optimizes energy use under varying loads, improving return on investment for heavy-duty applications over time.
