Rib cooled motors

Rib cooled motors offer easy configurability and built-in serviceability throughout the product life cycle.

High voltage flameproof motors

ABB high voltage rib cooled motors provide the benefits of a small size with high power density, high reliability, efficiency and easy maintenance. Rib cooled motors offer easy configurability and built-in serviceability throughout the product life cycle. Our rib cooled motors are available for both direct on line (DOL) and variable speed drive (VSD) for an even higher efficiency.

Our rib cooled motors are a high efficiency solution for a wide range of applications and industry segments. Rib cooled motors are commonly used in applications such as pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, conveyors, saws and mills. Industries, where rib cooled motors are most commonly used are mining, water, metals, chemical and pulp and paper.
