High efficiency with IE5 class design improves energy consumption by reducing losses in everyday duty cycles, delivering measurable annual savings on electricity and cooling. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and longer motor life in conveyors, pumps, and process equipment. Ex ec protection and IIC gas group ratings provide intrinsic safety for hazardous-area installations, decreasing risk and simplifying compliance when integrating with protective systems. IP55 enclosure and robust cast iron frame deliver reliable operation in dusty, damp, or washdown environments, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs while extending service intervals. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and frame size 225 enable straightforward installation in existing skids or gear trains, reducing retrofit costs and installation time. With four poles and a 37 kW output at 690 V, the motor supports precise speed control and high torque at start-up, improving line performance in heavy-load applications. Designed for 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, the product sustains performance in facilities with elevated operating conditions, while the Y connection simplifies wiring in standard drive systems. Long-term reliability is reinforced by robust bearings (6313/C3 and 6212/C3) and a purpose-built Synchronous Reluctance topology that minimizes maintenance needs and reduces noise in production lines.

FAQs
Begin with confirming a Y connection as specified for 690 V operation and 50 Hz. Use the IMB5 IM3001 mounting arrangement and ensure IP55 protection. Verify ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Use appropriate protective devices and follow ABB installation guidelines to achieve safe, efficient operation and reliable motor lifecycle.
The motor delivers 37 kW at 690 V, 50 Hz, with four poles and a frame size of 225. It carries IE5 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Ex protection (Exec) for hazardous areas, and is configured for Y connection. It is designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and operates reliably in up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperatures.
Yes. The motor features Ex ec protection suitable for hazardous environments and Gas Group IIC classification. This enables safe operation in areas where flammable gases may be present, provided that installation conforms to local codes and ABB safety guidelines, including proper enclosure integrity and protective interlocks.
The IE5 efficiency class reduces electrical losses during continuous operation, delivering lower energy costs over the life of the motor. Paired with robust construction and low maintenance needs of SynRM technology, operators can achieve quicker payback through energy savings, reduced cooling requirements, and extended service intervals in demanding production lines.
Ensure mounting aligns with IMB5 IM3001 standards for a 225 frame, and confirm the D-end top terminator box placement. Check balance, shaft alignment, and cable routing for the 690 V supply. Verify bearing health (6313/C3 and 6212/C3) and confirm ambient and altitude specs, enabling a smooth retrofit or new build with minimal downtime.
