2004-08-16 - A new range of standard high voltage induction motors, ready for delivery within days, has been launched by ABB.
The new standard motors, which have a much lower price than engineered motors, are ideal for OEMs who need a standard product with electrical and mechanical properties that do not alter between projects. The motors combine high voltage technology with components normally used for low voltage motors, such as rotors and cast iron frames.
A simple ordering process is helped by the easy selection and dimensioning, with all the technical data found in one catalogue. ABB’s existing low voltage dimensioning program can also be used for the high voltage motor.
Designed for any pump, fan or compressor application, the high voltage standard motor features high efficiency, excellent starting characteristics, extremely low noise levels, low vibration, IP55 protection, reliable bearings and windings, long maintenance intervals and a long lifetime.
The motor has an IP55 rib cooled cast iron frame, and operates at 3–6.6kV, with ratings of 110 to 530kW at 50Hz and with two to 12 pole designs. It also offers high safety standards, with non-sparking and dust ignition proof designs for Zone 22 and protection classes IP55 and IP65 being available as an option.
