FAQs
This ABB motor is designed for straightforward integration with standard 3-phase variable frequency drives (VFDs). Use the Direction of Rotation setting (Both sides) to align with your conveyor or pump drive configuration, connect per the IEC motor wiring diagram, and verify the Voltage Code D to ensure proper voltage matching. Confirm IP55 seals and the IC411 insulation class support while routing cables to minimize heat buildup. Always follow ABB installation manuals for torque specifications on mounting bolts and align the shaft to prevent bearing pre-load issues.
IE3 denotes high efficiency for 3-phase induction motors, delivering reduced losses at both full and partial loads. For this model, IE Class IE3 corresponds to substantial energy savings during continuous duty (S1) applications, improving operating costs in pumps, fans, and conveyors. Expect lower voltage drop, cooler running temperatures, and improved return on investment when paired with energy management strategies and variable-speed control.
Yes, this motor includes Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC compatibility, expanding safe operation in certain hazardous zones. It also features IP55 ingress protection for dusty or damp settings. Verify site classification against local regulations and ensure proper enclosure integrity and installation practices. For chemical or petrochemical processes, align the installation with the defined hazard area and permit requirements.
The motor carries IE3 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a 2-pole, S1 duty specification. It uses a cast-iron frame (160) with bearings 6209-2Z/C3 and a Type designation M2GAX 160MLC 2 for ordering. It is designed to operate at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C and up to 1000 meters altitude, which helps ensure reliable performance across varied industrial sites.
With a robust cast-iron frame, sealed bearings, and a high-efficiency IE3 rating, maintenance intervals are typically longer and bearing life is enhanced, reducing downtime. The IP55 rating and IC411 insulation contribute to safer, more reliable operation in challenging environments. ROI is driven by energy savings, reduced maintenance frequency, and easier integration with existing ABB drives, which lowers lifecycle costs and supports predictable maintenance planning.
