IE5 efficiency delivers significant energy savings across full and partial load scenarios, improving total cost of ownership for 45 kW drives in manufacturing lines. Business impact: lower electricity consumption and reduced heat generation, enabling cooler, more reliable operation in tight plant spaces. Application: retrofits and new installations in automated processes where energy efficiency is a priority and regulatory compliance is mandatory. Ex eb protection and Gas Group IIC ensure safe operation in hazardous zones such as chemical plants and mining facilities, reducing risk and enabling compliant production in challenging environments. Business impact: enhanced safety margins and easier regulatory alignment with safety standards. Application: deployments in explosion‑risk areas where protection against ignition sources is required. IP55 enclosure and a rugged cast‑iron frame provide robust protection against dust, water ingress, and mechanical stress, extending service intervals and uptime. Application: outdoor or harsh industrial environments where maintenance windows are limited. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation and future service, minimizing downtime during commissioning and upgrades. Business impact: faster deployment and easier spare‑part planning, especially for legacy ABB systems. Connection in Y configuration at 500 V with 50 Hz operation and a 4‑pole design supports straightforward integration with standard industrial power rails, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time. Application: new installations and retrofits in 3‑phase 500 V networks. Environmental considerations, including WEEE categorization and EcoSolutions support, help enterprises meet sustainability and end‑of‑life obligations with confidence.

FAQs
The motor is designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and frame size 225, streamlining installation on compatible bases. This compatibility minimizes modification needs, reduces commissioning time, and supports straightforward retrofits into existing ABB automation setups.
It is configured for a 500 V input, 50 Hz operation with a Y (star) connection and a 4-pole configuration. These specs align with common industrial power distribution and simplify integration into standard 3‑phase networks.
Yes. The motor features Ex eb explosion protection and a Gas Group IIC rating, enabling safe operation in hazardous environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations where ignition risk must be mitigated.
The motor delivers IE5 efficiency with reported performance of 96.3% at full load (100%), and around 96.0–96.3% at partial loads (75% and 50%). This translates to substantial energy savings across varying load profiles typical in industrial drives.
With a cast‑iron frame, IP55 enclosure, and a robust mounting arrangement, maintenance intervals are extended and downtime is reduced. Eco and end‑of‑life programs (EcoSolutions and EPD) support sustainable lifecycle planning and regulatory compliance for modern facilities.
