Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 225 frame size in a cast iron housing provides rugged durability and heat dissipation for continuous operation in hot, dusty factories, reducing unscheduled downtime in cement, metal, and chemical processing lines. This translates to improved line availability and lower maintenance costs for heavy-duty conveyors and pumps. Feature → IE2 efficiency at Full Load (89.1%) → Cost reduction through energy savings, especially in high-duty cycles and long-running applications like cooling fans and water pumps. Application: Industrial process equipment where energy efficiency is a priority. Feature → IP55 and IC411 insulation → Enhanced protection against dust and moisture, enabling installation in outdoor or damp areas without compromising safety. Application: Fans, compressors, and pumps in manufacturing floors. Feature → Ex protection capability (Ex) and Gas Group IIC → Regulatory compliance for hazardous environments, unlocking use in chemical and oil-and-gas facilities with proper installation. Application: Hazardous-area motor installations requiring certified protection. Feature → 8-pole design (High) and IMB5 IM3001 → Balanced performance with stable running and straightforward gearbox pairing for conveyors and milling lines. Application: Medium-speed drives and process lines needing reliable torque. Feature → D‑code Voltage with 50 Hz operating conditions and ambient up to 50 °C, altitude up to 1000 m → Broad compatibility with regional electrical grids and modest derating needs, simplifying procurement and installation. Application: Global manufacturing sites leveraging standardized power. Feature → Cast Iron frame and robust bearings (6213-2Z/C3; 6210-2Z/C3) → Reduced maintenance intervals and extended bearing life in vibration-prone machinery. Application: Heavy industrial fans, pumps, and mixers. All these features together support a seamless integration with existing ABB or third-party drive systems, reducing lifecycle costs and accelerating project timelines.

FAQs
Consider mounting orientation that suits the D-End top terminator box and the 225 frame, ensuring adequate space for cable entry, cooling, and maintenance. Verify shaft alignment with gearboxes or belts and confirm compatibility with standard VFDs that support IE2 motors at 50 Hz. The cast iron frame and IMB5 IM3001 configuration support vibration resistance in demanding plants.
This motor is IE2 rated with a voltage code D and operates under 50 Hz conditions. It features IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and is designed for ambient up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. It also provides Ex protection for hazardous areas and Gas Group IIC where permitted by installation codes.
Yes, the motor includes Ex protection capability suitable for hazardous environments, with Gas Group IIC considerations. Always verify local regulatory approvals and ensure the installation follows ATEX/IECEx or local equivalents. The combination of IP55 and IC411 insulation contributes to safe operation in dusty or damp locations.
With IE2 efficiency, full-load efficiency is about 89.1%, delivering meaningful energy savings over traditional starts and runs, especially in continuous duty scenarios like pumps and fans. This reduces electrical demand charges and lowers total cost of ownership when paired with appropriate drives and control strategies.
The motor uses a cast iron frame with durable bearings (6213-2Z/C3 and 6210-2Z/C3) and a D-end box location for convenient wiring. Regular lubrication checks, bearing condition monitoring, and periodic alignment with connected equipment will help maximize life. It is compatible with standard drive systems and ABB accessories, enabling straightforward integration into existing control architectures.
