Standard motors operate in hot,
corrosive areas
Standard motors that operate in temperatures up to 90 deg C as well as in 100% relative humidity are also fully protected against corrosion, inside and out.
High temperature motors from ABB are now available in a new standard range, providing a cost-effective alternative to custom models for use in demanding environments Designed for applications that require high performance in temperatures up to 90 deg C, the ABB range can also work in 100% relative humidity and in corrosive environments

ABB drives range extended
ABB has extended the range of one of the key elements in its ACS 600 drives range, by introducing new IGBT Supply Unit frame sizes.
With delivery times from 24 to 72 hours, ABB brings fast delivery of high temperature motors to users in areas such as the metallurgical and wood industries, brick and glass manufacturing, and food production.
Constructed in cast iron or aluminium and coated with a tough, multi-layer epoxy surface treatment, the range is fully protected against corrosion, both inside and out.
Frame sizes are 160 to 250 for cast iron frame and 112 to 132 for aluminium frame, available with four poles (1500 rev/min) from 4 to 55kW and with six poles (1000 rev/min) from 2.2kW to 37kW.
Other features include a high-efficiency cooling fan, high temperature grease, high temperature insulation (class H), built-in thermistors for temperature monitoring, IP55 protection with drainage holes, rustproof stators and rotors, and stainless steel nipples for regreasing.
The motors are fitted with C4 clearance bearings, which offer the clearance needed to provide for heat expansion.
Permanently greased bearings can be supplied as an option.
The newly designed terminal box is roomy and easy to work with and the motor itself can be ordered in a variety of configurations to suit a range of conditions.
Conditions include various positions of the terminal box, with or without the cooling fan, and a standby heating system for use in humid conditions.
