IE5 efficiency plus a 37 kW rating delivers meaningful energy savings for continuous drive applications. Lower power losses mean cooler operation and fewer cooling requirements in compact plant spaces. This performance is ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans within demanding process environments. The motor’s synchronous reluctance design minimizes rotor copper losses while preserving high torque at low speeds, boosting overall process reliability. Ex ec protection provides safe operation in hazardous areas, reducing risk and expediting compliance. With Ex ec protection and IIC gas group certification, installation in potentially explosive environments is safer and simpler, lowering commissioning time. In chemical processing, oil and gas, and other hazardous industries, this capability supports safer, more consistent production. IP55 protection ensures reliable performance in dirty or damp environments, reducing maintenance cycles and unplanned downtime. The rugged enclosure shields critical components from dust ingress and water jets, even in wash-down zones. This resilience translates to longer motor life and lower maintenance costs across multi-shift operations. Cast iron frame delivers stiffness and vibration resistance for demanding installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting options, along with the 250 frame size, enable straightforward integration with standard baseplates and adaptors. This compatibility shortens installation time, minimizes bolt-on modifications, and supports retrofit projects with little risk. With 690 V, 50 Hz operation and a 4-pole design, the motor delivers robust torque across the speed range. The Y connection simplifies starter sizing and reduces harmonics in VFD-driven systems. Rated for ambient up to 40 °C and altitude to 1000 m, IE5 efficiency remains within 95% full-load and ~95.7% partial-load benchmarks, delivering predictable performance in process automation.

FAQs
Install using a standard 690 V, 50 Hz drive system by following the IMB5/IM3001 mounting guidelines. Use the Y connection for reduced line current, verify IP55 enclosure seals, and place the motor within the 40 °C ambient limit up to 1000 m altitude. Ensure alignment with the ABB or compatible drives for safe soft-start and controlled ramping.
IE5 efficiency with 95.6% full-load efficiency improves overall plant energy performance. The 37 kW rated output at 690 V with 50 Hz, 4 poles, and a 3-phase configuration provides reliable torque across speeds, while the Y connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplify drive integration and reduce installation time.
Yes, with Ex ec protection and IIC gas group certification, the motor is rated for hazardous environments, enabling safer operation and easier compliance in chemical plants and refineries. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, supporting wash-down or outdoor areas; proper sealing and mounting minimize risk during routine maintenance.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency, Ex ec protection, IP55 enclosure, ICFL insulation, Gas Group IIC, and IC411 insulation. The device uses a cast-iron frame (250) with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and Y connection, and is designed for 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient conditions, supporting compliance with typical industrial requirements.
A robust cast-iron frame and IP55 enclosure reduce exposure to dust and moisture, lowering maintenance cycles. IE5 efficiency lowers energy costs and heat generation, while bearings 6315/C3 and 6210/C3 support reliability. IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 690 V operation simplify retrofits and spare parts planning, delivering a lower total cost of ownership.
