Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron Frame and 400 Frame Size deliver torsional stiffness and vibration damping, improving motor longevity and reducing maintenance cycles in continuous operation applications such as conveyors and mixers. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and higher line uptime. Application: packaging lines and processing equipment requiring robust mechanical integrity. Feature → IE2 Efficiency Class and IE Class Data provide energy savings of up to several percent under full-load and partial-load conditions, lowering operating costs for high-duty cycles in metalworking and food processing. Application: energy-conscious manufacturing environments aiming for lower kW-hours per unit produced. Feature → IP55 Protection and IC411 Insulation ensure reliable performance in dusty and humid floors, with protection against water ingress and thermal stress; this supports longer service intervals in metal fabrication and chemical processing. Application: harsh plant floors and outdoor installations. Feature → Ex Protection Exec and Gas Group IIC enable use in hazardous zones, expanding the deployment of this motor to explosion-risk environments while maintaining compliance. Application: chemical plants and oil refineries requiring certified equipment. Feature → Top Terminator Box Location and IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility simplify installation and future maintenance, reducing commissioning time and spare-part variety. Application: retrofit projects and new line builds where quick wiring under limited access is essential. Feature → 8 Poles and S1 Duty provide stable, continuous operation with predictable torque and heat management, supporting heavy load profiles in fans, pumps, and mixers. Application: continuous-process equipment where consistent speed and duty-cycle control matter. Feature → 6324/C3 bearings and 6319/C3 NDE bearings offer strong radial support and reduced wear in high-load scenarios, extending bearing life and minimizing unplanned downtime. Application: heavy conveyors and material-handling equipment. Insight: The motor’s high mass and crate-level packaging (3200 kg net, 3240 kg gross) reflect its industrial-grade design, enabling it to withstand rigorous transport and installation workflows in large facilities.

FAQs
This motor features a top terminator box for simplified wiring and IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility. Plan for a 3240 kg gross weight package on a sturdy support structure, ensure adequate clearance around the 400 frame and bearings, and verify alignment with your drive system and any ABB motor controllers for seamless integration.
Yes. The unit is Ex-protected (Exec) with Gas Group IIC, enabling use in certain hazardous environments when installed per ATEX/IECEx guidelines. Confirm local certification scope and ensure installation is performed by qualified personnel with proper safety measures.
The motor is rated IE2 (Full Load 93.5% at 100%, 93.8% at 75%, 93.3% at 50% partial load). It operates under S1 continuous duty in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m, providing reliable performance for continuous-process applications.
With 8 poles and rolling-element bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), plan for periodic bearing checks and alignment verification. The top-terminal-box design reduces wiring complexity, and the cast iron frame supports long-life operation in tough environments. Ensure compatibility with ABB drives and control systems for optimal performance.
Key protections include IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, IE2 efficiency, Ex protection for hazardous areas (Exec), and Gas Group IIC. The product also aligns with general IEC/EN standards for industrial motors and matching ABB installation guidelines.
