FAQs
Plan for D connection configuration with an IMB3 IM1001 mounting, frame size 315, and 4-pole design. Ensure the 500 V, 50 Hz supply is available, provide proper ventilation, and respect the IP55 enclosure. Consider hazardous-area zoning for Ex eb protection and allow space for maintenance around the bearing housing (6319/C3).
IE5 efficiency reflects one of the highest motor efficiency classes, with full-load efficiency around 97.1%. In practical terms, this reduces energy draw under typical load profiles, especially when paired with variable-speed drives, contributing to lower utility costs and improved overall plant energy performance.
Yes. It features Ex eb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIC compatibility, making it suitable for hazardous industrial spaces. Designed for high-temperature operation (40 °C) and up to 1000 m altitude, it maintains performance and safety in demanding mining, metal-processing, and chemical applications.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency, Ex eb hazardous-area protection, IP55 enclosure, insulation class ICFL, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting standards. It also carries gas-group IIC compatibility and is supported by ABB's EcoSolutions program for sustainable, compliant industrial automation projects.
ROI is driven by higher efficiency, reduced energy costs, and lower maintenance from robust construction and long service life. The motor’s compatibility with ABB drives and EcoSolutions ecosystem also shortens commissioning, lowers downtime, and supports lifecycle cost reductions in automation-focused facilities.
