ABB has introduced a new 2-pole
motor to complete its high voltage
modular induction range.

With the new motor, the
range extends from IEC
frame size 400 to 800,
covering all general high
voltage needs.

The motor is said to be
especially suitable for driving
water injection pumps on
FPSOs (floating production,
storage and offloading units), main
oil pipeline pumps, and applications
in chemical, oil and gas installations,
water and wastewater treatment plants.
The new motor can be operated
with supplies from 6 to 13.8kV. It is
initially targeted at fixed speed
applications to 3000 rpm with directon-
line connection. VSD operation
is possible, but the speed
range is fixed on a case-bycase
basis. For use in
explosive
atmospheres, the
available protection
types are nonsparking
(Ex n) and
pressurised (Ex p).

Vibratibration levels are
low, as are maintenance
requirements.
