IE5 efficiency is a core feature delivering lower energy consumption in continuous-duty drives. This translates into tangible operating-cost reductions for pumps, fans, and conveyors, especially where long run times and variable loads are common. With 132 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, the motor maintains high torque while minimizing electrical losses, enabling smoother process control in demanding production lines.Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure address hazardous-area requirements without adding bulky secondary enclosures. The gas-group IIC rating and Ex protection simplify zoning in chemical plants and mining sites, while the enclosure keeps dust and moisture at bay, reducing unplanned downtime.Cast-iron frame, 315 size, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and robust bearing arrangements support extended service life in tough environments. The D-end top termination box location eases wiring during retrofit projects and new installations, reducing installation time and risk of field wiring errors.Connection configuration D and voltage options align with standard plant drives. The motor operates at 500 V input with 470 V nominal, 50 Hz, and an operating altitude up to 1000 m with 40 °C ambient. This compatibility minimizes the need for bespoke control gear and simplifies integration with VFDs and soft starters.ABB EcoSolutions and Environmental Product Declaration support sustainability goals and regulatory compliance, including WEEE categorization. The design promotes reliable operation in critical processes, helping reduce lifecycle costs and improve return on investment through lower energy use and longer maintenance intervals.

FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-End top termination box, designed for straightforward retrofit and new installations. The D connection configuration aligns with standard 3-phase plant wiring, simplifying wiring runs and reducing misconnection risk. This setup supports seamless integration with VFDs and soft starters while maintaining reliable torque delivery.
It features IE5 efficiency, with Full Load (100%) efficiency around 96.8%, and high partial-load performance (75%: 96.4%, 50%: 95.3%). In continuous operation, this translates to significantly lower electricity consumption, reduced heat generation, and improved total cost of ownership for pumps, fans, and conveyors in process environments.
Yes. The motor carries Exeb protection for explosive atmospheres and a robust IP55 enclosure. This combination guards against dust ingress and water exposure, enabling safe operation in hazardous areas such as chemical plants and mines, while supporting compliance with regional safety standards.
Ideal for heavy industry applications like pumps, fans, conveyors, and material handling, the 132 kW rating at 50 Hz suits medium to high-power drives. Its four-pole design provides strong starting torque and stable torque at speed, making it a reliable choice for process lines requiring precise speed control with efficiency gains.
Key considerations include robust cast-iron construction and IMB5/IM3001 mounting for long service life, reduced maintenance, and easier field service. With IE5 efficiency and Ex protection, energy savings compound over time, lowering operating costs. The motor’s certification ecosystem—WEEE, EPD, and EcoSolutions support—helps meet sustainability targets and regulatory requirements.
