Feature: IE2 efficiency class. Business Impact: Reduces energy losses during steady-state operation, lowering running costs over the motor’s service life. Application: Suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors in continuous duty scenarios where energy efficiency targets are priority. Feature: Cast iron frame, 225 frame size. Business Impact: Enhanced mechanical rigidity and vibration dampening translate to longer bearing life and reduced maintenance. Application: Heavy-duty industrial environments with demanding mounting requirements. Feature: IP55 enclosure. Business Impact: Superior ingress protection against dust and water jets, increasing uptime in dirty or wash-down environments. Application: Food, beverage, and chemical processing lines where environmental exposure is common. Feature: IC411 insulation, 50 °C ambient, altitude to 1000 m. Business Impact: Stable insulation performance under elevated temperatures and altitudes, reducing risk of insulation failure. Application: Harsh plant floors and outdoor installations. Feature: 8-pole, S1 duty, IMB5 IM3001, D-end top termination. Business Impact: Low-speed, high-torque operation with reliable terminal access for simplified wiring. Application: Conveyor systems and fans requiring robust torque characteristics. Feature: Ex protection, Gas Group IIC. Business Impact: Enables assessment for hazardous area installation by qualified teams, with caveats per local approvals. Application: Plants handling flammable substances where compliance is essential. The aggregation of these features supports measurable outcomes like reduced energy bills, fewer unplanned outages, and simplified installation in retrofits or new builds, backed by a proven ABB design lineage and compatibility with standard industrial drives.

FAQs
This motor is rated for ambient temperatures up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, with a cast iron frame for robust mechanical stability. Use a D-end top termination configuration and verify mounting on a rigid base to minimize vibration. Pair with a compatible VFD and ensure IP55 seals are intact during enclosure assembly to maintain protection levels in dusty or wash-down environments.
IE2 class indicates enhanced efficiency over conventional IE1 motors, providing lower stator copper losses and improved operating efficiency. For continuous duty loads, this translates to measurable energy savings during full-load or partial-load operations. On a fixed-speed or VFD-controlled line, the motor’s efficiency of around 88.6% at full load (50 Hz) helps lower annual energy costs and supports sustainability goals.
The model includes EX-Protection: Exec and Gas Group IIC design considerations, signaling some suitability for hazardous environments when approved by a qualified authority. Always verify local regulatory approvals and ensure correct installation practices, documentation, and certification scope before deployment in hazardous zones. For full compliance, obtain the appropriate factory or third-party attestations applicable to your geographic region.
The motor uses a 225 frame with a cast iron frame material, and bearings specified as 6213-2Z/C3 (bearing) and 6210-2Z/C3 (NDE). Termination box location is D-End top, and the IM class is IMB5 IM3001, indicating a compact yet robust footprint. This configuration supports straightforward mounting to standard bases and easy connection to control gear and protection devices in most industrial panels.
Net weight is 254 kg with a gross weight of 264 kg, indicating substantial handling requirements. Packaging is listed as 0 pallet (lift) level, so plan for safe lifting and transport with appropriate rigging and equipment. This data supports capacity planning for cranes, trolleys, or forklift routes in plant environments and ensures compliant handling during distribution and installation.
