FAQs
Install in IMB3/IM1001 mounting with the top termination box accessible for cabling. Use the 6-pole, 400 frame motor aligned with standard couplings and ensure the drive aligns to 50 Hz operation at 500 V. Check bearing clearances (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C, with permissible altitude up to 1000 m. Ensure D-connection configuration and torque requirements match the application.
Yes. The motor is designed as a Dust Ignition Proof IE3 unit with IP55 enclosure, ICFL insulation, and EX-protection (Exec) for hazardous environments. Gas Group IIC support and robust ABB engineering help ensure reliable operation in cement, mining, and bulk-handling facilities where dust and ignition risk are present.
The motor runs at 500 V, 50 Hz, delivering 450 kW of output power with 6 poles. It employs a 3GGP IE3 design and a frame size 400. It is intended for S1 duty with a 1000 m altitude tolerance and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, suitable for industrial drive applications.
Key certifications include IE3 efficiency class, ICFL insulation, IP55 protection, EX-protection (Exec), and Gas Group IIC. Additional compliance elements cover mounting standards IMB3/IM1001, and country origin Finland. These ensure regulatory alignment for industrial installations in hazardous or dusty environments.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption over full-load operation, while rugged construction and top-termination wiring shorten maintenance cycles. The motor’s 3150 kg net weight and robust bearings support long service intervals, lowering downtime costs and improving overall lifecycle cost in continuous-duty processes.
