FAQs
Installations should align the motor with IMB3/IM1001 mounting standards, ensure proper top-mounted terminator box access, and plan cable routing with D connection. Use the 500 V supply at 50 Hz and verify shaft alignment and bearing clearances (6326/C3, 6322/C3) for vibration control. Verify ambient temperature and altitude limits (40 °C, 1000 m) to maintain cooling and efficiency.
IE3 ratings reduce energy losses at full and partial loads, with full-load efficiency around 96% at 50 Hz for this model. In continuous duty (S1), that efficiency translates to meaningful operating cost reductions versus older IE2 designs, especially during long run times. Expect lower electricity consumption, cooler motor operation, and extended equipment life due to reduced current draw.
Yes. The motor features a dust ignition proof design, IP55 enclosure, and EX-Protection for hazardous areas, making it well-suited for dusty environments. Combined with IC411 insulation and rugged cast-iron construction, it tolerates high dust loads, elevated ambient temperatures, and demanding shutdown cycles typical in cement and grain handling operations.
Key protections include EX-Protection (Explosion Protection), IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation class. Gas group IIC designation indicates suitability for certain hazardous atmospheres, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting supports compliant installation in industrial settings. These features help meet regulatory expectations for safety and reliability in mining, chemical, and related industries.
ROI is typically driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency, reduced downtime due to robust dust-ignition-proof design, and lower maintenance costs from a durable, cast-iron frame. With a 900 kW rating operating at 500 V and 50 Hz, the motor offers lower lifecycle costs, improved availability, and easier integration with existing ABB drive systems, delivering faster payback in heavy industrial applications.
