FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting with the terminal box located at the D-End top, simplifying wiring and servicing. When planning installation, ensure adequate clearance for the 280 frame size, proper ventilation, and compliance with Ex protection requirements. Verify that the site supports 500 V, 50 Hz operation and that the ambient temperature and altitude are within the specified limits for reliable cooling and torque delivery.
IE3 efficiency corresponds to significantly lower no-load and full-load losses compared with standard-efficiency motors. For a 45 kW unit at 500 V, this translates to measurable reductions in energy consumption, cooling requirements, and electricity bills over the motor’s life. In continuous operations, the cumulative savings improve total cost of ownership and shorten payback periods in process-critical applications.
Yes. The ABB motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for IIB gas groups, aligning with hazardous-area standards. It also carries an IP55 enclosure rating for dust and water ingress protection and an IC411 insulation class for sustained performance. These certifications support compliance in chemical plants, refineries, and other ATEX/IECEx-regulated environments.
With a robust cast-iron frame, 6316/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, this motor supports long service intervals and reliable uptime. Routine checks should include bearing lubrication schedules, inspection of Ex-rated seals, and periodic electrical testing. The design emphasizes simple field maintenance, reduced bearing wear, and consistency in torque under S1 duty at 50 Hz.
ROI gains come from lower energy consumption due to IE3 efficiency, reduced downtime thanks to robust flameproof protection, and longer service intervals from a durable cast-iron frame. For facilities operating in hazardous zones with continuous duty, expect faster payback through energy savings, improved process reliability, and lower maintenance costs over the motor’s operational life.
