Water-cooled design improves thermal management for the M3LP 315MC 6. The higher heat rejection maintains steady torque and minimizes derating in continuous-duty applications. It suits heavy-duty pumps, fans, and conveyors in steel mills, chemical plants, and paper operations. IE2 efficiency reduces energy consumption in constant-speed and variable-load drives. The built-in efficiency improves total cost of ownership by lowering operating costs in plants with high-duty cycles. This makes it attractive for process cooling, water treatment, and material handling. IP55 protection and insulation class ICLF deliver reliable operation in dusty, moist, and wash-down environments. IC71W further ensures stable performance across load changes and speed variation. This is valuable for process lines and packaging lines with rigorous cleaning cycles. Aluminum frame 315 and top-entry terminator box streamline installation and serviceability. Bearing arrangements 6319/C3 and 6316/C3, plus IMB5/IM3001 compatibility, support easy retrofits into existing ABB motor systems. This reduces commissioning time and risk when upgrading aging fleets. Altitude rating up to 1000 m and ambient temperature of 40°C expand site suitability. The 850 kg net weight and rugged construction support long service intervals and predictable maintenance. These efficiency and reliability factors translate into lower maintenance costs and higher plant uptime.

FAQs
Yes. The M3LP 315MC 6 uses a 315-frame footprint and is designed for easy retrofit into ABB-driven systems. It supports IMB5 IM3001 compatibility and features a top-entry terminator box to simplify wiring and service, reducing commissioning time and disruption during upgrades.
The motor is IE2 efficient, rated for a 6-pole, 315-frame configuration, with IP55 protection and IC71W insulation. At 50 Hz, it maintains high efficiency under full-load and partial-load conditions (Full Load 94.6%, 75% load 94.7%, 50% load 93.9%), supporting reliable operation in demanding environments.
Commonly deployed in heavy-duty process lines such as pumps, cooling fans, conveyors, and material-handling equipment within steel, chemical, and paper industries. Its water-cooled design and rugged aluminum frame suit environments requiring high continuous operation, tight space management, and dependable uptime.
Key certifications include IE2 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC71W insulation class. The motor is designed for harsh environments with a temperature rating of ambient 40°C and altitude up to 1000 m, supporting reliable operation under demanding industrial conditions.
The aluminum 315-frame design reduces weight and improves handling during installation. Top-entry wiring and robust bearings (6319/C3 and 6316/C3) simplify maintenance. With longer service intervals, higher uptime, and lower energy consumption due to IE2 efficiency, this motor lowers total cost of ownership in long-running plant operations.
