ABB M3RP 280MC 8 - 3-Phase squirrel cage motor - IP55

Feature → Business Impact → Application22 kW output and 8-pole design deliver high starting torque and stable speed under variable loads. The result is improved process control and reduced motor cycling, boosting pump and fan efficiency in continuous operations. In packaging lines and conveyors, this translates to smoother starts and less mechanical stress, extending equipment life.IP55 enclosure protects internal windings from dust and moisture, reducing unplanned downtime in dusty production areas and near washdown zones. For OEMs and integrators, this means fewer enclosure-related failures and simpler maintenance scheduling across food, beverage, and chemical processing applications.Cast iron frame size 280 provides robust structural integrity and vibration damping under heavy loads. This durability is crucial for IMB3/IM1001 mounting in rugged installations such as metalworking conveyors and heavy-duty grinding lines, enabling longer service life and lower replacement costs.IC410 insulation class supports reliable operation at elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes to 1000 m. When coupled with a 400 V, 50 Hz supply, it aligns with standard industrial power systems, simplifying electrical design and reducing installation risk.Direction of rotation on both ends offers installation flexibility in tight spaces and reversible drive configurations. Paired with a high-quality bearing (6316/C3) and heavy-duty frame, the motor delivers consistent torque and longevity, addressing common objections about misalignment and premature bearing wear.IE Class data shows full-load efficiency around 92% at 50 Hz, supporting energy reduction initiatives and lower operating costs. For energy-conscious plants, the 22 kW motor contributes to regulatory compliance and a favorable total cost of ownership over its life cycle.
