FAQs

This motor uses a Y connection, which simplifies wiring for 500 V three-phase systems and supports straightforward integration with standard VFDs or soft starters. Its IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility ensures easy alignment with common base plates, while the frame 280, cast-iron housing, and IP55 enclosure support reliable installation in harsh environments. Plan for proper shaft alignment, adequate cooling, and enclosure clearance per IM standards to maximize service life.
At 50 Hz, the IE3 full-load efficiency is 93.7%, with partial-load values around 93.5–94.0% depending on load. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency improves to about 94.5%, with partial-load figures near 93.1–94.3%. These efficiency levels translate to lower running costs over the motor’s life, especially in continuous S1 duty applications like pumps and compressors in hazardous areas.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for Group IIB environments, a flameproof enclosure, and an IP55 rating, helping prevent ignition under fault conditions. Its 6-pole, 45 kW design delivers reliable torque for demanding processing equipment, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides robust, compliant installation in hazardous areas.
Key protections include Exdbeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, with IE3 efficiency for energy performance. The motor’s design supports installation in hazardous zones, meeting industry expectations for electrical safety and reliability. While CE/UL markings are common in market sectors, verify local compliance needs for your facility and obtain the appropriate documentation from ABB for your region.
The IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy consumption by several percentage points compared with older IE2 designs, yielding notable annual kWh savings in continuous operation. Combined with lower maintenance due to robust flameproof protection and durable cast-iron construction, the motor reduces downtime and spare-part costs. For a process line in a hazardous area, expect a favorable payback period driven by energy and reliability benefits.
