Product Description
ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motors
The ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motors provide dependable mechanical power for demanding industrial equipment. Moreover, their proven induction-motor design supports pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and process machinery.
ABB’s process-performance induction-motor range covers powers from 0.12 to 1,300 kW. In addition, available voltage configurations extend from approximately 230 to 690 V.
Selected configurations provide efficiency classes up to IE5. Therefore, ABB three-phase induction motors can help users reduce energy consumption while maintaining reliable industrial performance.
Reliable Induction-Motor Technology
An ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motor uses a rotating magnetic field within the stator. Consequently, this field induces current in the rotor and produces mechanical torque.
The rotor operates slightly below the speed of the rotating magnetic field. Therefore, engineers also refer to this motor design as an induction motor.
Moreover, standard squirrel-cage configurations do not require permanent magnets or electrical rotor connections. As a result, the ABB asynchronous motor provides robust and straightforward industrial operation.

ABB Motor Power and Efficiency Options
ABB offers several IEC low-voltage induction-motor families for industrial applications.
General Performance Motors
ABB General Performance induction motors deliver power up to 355 kW and efficiency classes from IE2 to IE4.
Moreover, their cast-iron frames, high-tensile steel shafts and precision bearings support pumps, fans, compressors and general industrial machinery.
Therefore, these ABB asynchronous motors suit many standard manufacturing and process duties.
Process Performance Motors
ABB Process Performance induction motors provide a wider power range up to 1,300 kW.
In addition, selected configurations reach IE5 efficiency and offer extensive customisation for demanding process applications.
Therefore, users can select a standard ABB motor for general machinery or a Process Performance model for more specialised operating duties.
Direct-On-Line and Variable-Speed Operation
The ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motors can support direct-on-line and variable-speed-drive operation, depending on the selected model and application.
Direct-on-line starting provides a straightforward solution for fixed-speed machinery. However, users must ensure that the starting current and mechanical acceleration remain suitable for the electrical system and driven equipment.
Alternatively, an ABB variable-speed drive can regulate motor speed and torque. Consequently, pumps and fans can match their output with actual process demand.
As a result, variable-speed operation may reduce energy consumption, mechanical stress and unnecessary process flow. ABB also designs relevant process-performance motors for dependable operation with compatible variable-speed drives.
Protection for Demanding Environments
ABB Process Performance motors include IP55 protection as standard on relevant models. Meanwhile, selected configurations offer IP66 protection for greater resistance to dust and water entry.
In addition, ABB uses a C3 paint system as standard on relevant process and general-performance motors. Therefore, the motor provides corrosion resistance for many industrial environments.
More demanding installations may require additional coatings, specialised seals or application-specific protection. Consequently, users should specify whether the ABB motor will operate outdoors, near chemicals or in humid and dusty conditions.
Flexible Installation and Customisation
ABB uses modular construction for its process-performance induction motors. Therefore, users can select different mounting positions, terminal-box arrangements and accessories.
The adjustable terminal box can also simplify cable entry and electrical connection. Moreover, users may specify sensors, heaters, encoders and specialised bearing arrangements where available.
As a result, an ABB three-phase asynchronous motor can integrate more easily with new machinery, replacement projects and plant-modernisation programmes.
ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motor Applications in India
The ABB 3-Phase Asynchronous Motors suit many industrial applications across India, including:
