380 V operation and a 4-pole design ensure compatibility with European electrical infrastructure while delivering strong starting torque and reliable speed under load. This combination translates to fewer soft-start routines and improved line throughput in conveyors, mixers, and processing equipment. An Aluminum frame, size 160, delivers a sturdy form with reduced weight and easier handling during installation and maintenance. The result is faster on-site mounting, simplified transport between machines, and lower support costs in retrofit projects. IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH provide robust protection against dust and humidity in factory environments while maintaining safe temperature rise. The motor is designed for ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring dependable operation in varied sites. Duty S9 and a fixed 4-pole configuration support predictable performance in continuous, heavy-load applications. The ability to rotate in both directions simplifies drive layouts and minimizes rework during line changes. Bearing 6312-2Z plus IM class IMB35 IM2001 deliver durable support and simplified service routines. Together with compatibility with ABB drive systems, this motor reduces maintenance intervals and extends mean time between failures, offering clear total cost of ownership improvements in automation projects.

FAQs
For 380 V operation, ensure supply stability, proper motor starter or VFD compatibility, and correct wiring per local standards. Verify the 4-pole configuration suits your drive and control scheme, confirm ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, and plan for IP23 protection by installing in indoor, mechanically protected environments. Adequate mounting hardware and alignment with ABB drives will streamline commissioning and startup.
Review the IE Class data to estimate efficiency at varying loads: at 50 Hz, full-load (100%) is 89.0%, 75% load is 90.0%, and 50% load is 90.2%. At 60 Hz, full-load is 90.2%, 75% load is 91.5%, and 50% load is 92.0%. These figures indicate excellent efficiency across partial loads, supporting reduced energy consumption in continuous-duty applications.
Yes, the IP23 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against water spray at 60 degrees from vertical. This makes the motor suitable for indoor industrial setups with moderate exposure to dust and humidity. Ensure installation in regions where enclosure and ambient conditions maintain the IP19+ requirements through enclosure protection and proper cable management.
The motor uses bearing 6312-2Z with a matching 6312-2Z designation for bearings, and IM class IMB35 IM2001. This combination supports durable life in moderate-to-heavy loads and provides predictable service intervals. For maintenance, schedule periodic inspections for bearing wear, verify lubrication protocols if applicable, and monitor vibration to preempt early failures, aligning with typical industrial maintenance practices.
ROI is driven by reliable performance, reduced downtime, and energy savings from high efficiency across loads. The combination of aluminum frame, IP23 protection, S9 duty, and ease of integration with ABB drives lowers installation time and maintenance requirements. Expect lower total cost of ownership through extended mean time between failures, simpler spare parts inventory, and improved process uptime in automation environments.
