FAQs
For a new 690 V installation, plan a star (Y) connection, verify 4-pole alignment, and ensure the IMB5/IM3001 mounting surface is prepared. The 884 mm length and 480 mm width require an adequate footprint and foundation to handle 428 kg net weight. Use proper torque for flange mounting and confirm cabling routes comply with IP55 and Ex eb requirements.
Key specs include IE5 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Ex eb protection, enabling compliant operation in hazardous areas. The motor delivers 37 kW output at 690 V and 50 Hz with a 4-pole design, suitable for S9 duty. Rigid bearing systems (6315/C3 with 6210/C3 NDE) and cast iron frame further boost reliability under demanding loads.
Yes. The 37 kW synchronous reluctance design in a 690 V, 50 Hz, 4-pole format is well-suited for pumps and conveyors requiring high efficiency and consistent torque. The IP55 enclosure and Exeb rating support operation in dusty, humid, or potentially explosive environments, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting enables flexible integration with standard drive rails and bases.
The motor features Ex eb protective rating for hazardous zones, IP55 ingress protection, and IE5 efficiency. Insulation class ICFL with IC411 class data, and a gas group rating of IIC, support compliance with multiple global standards. These certifications help streamline approvals for industrial facilities across regions.
The combination of IE5 efficiency, robust mechanical design, and Ex eb protection reduces energy costs and unplanned downtime. With a cast iron frame and high-quality bearings, the motor offers long service life and lower maintenance frequency. Integrated ABB EcoSolutions support further enhances lifecycle value through sustainable, cost-conscious operation.
