Application notes

The new AMI modular induction motor series

is based on a standardized platform with
many options enabling it to be optimized
for best production efficiency for every
application in any industry segment. It is the
next step in the modular induction motor
evolution that combines all experience
gathered from its successful predecessors.

- Number of poles
- Speed
- Mounting
- Ambient temper.

IEC 560, 630, 710, 800,

900
up to 23 000 kW
up to 31 000 HP
up to 13.8 kV
50 & 60 Hz
2 - 20
Fixed & variable speed
Horizontal & vertical
-50C to +60C
-58F to +140F

The new modular induction motor series

allows air-to-water and air-to-air cooling
as well as weather protected design, with
corresponding protection grades spanning
from IP24W up to IP56. Its many options and
the great flexibility makes it possible to tailor
the motor for any application, industry and
ambient condition.
Great efforts have resulted in very low noise
and vibration levels. As standard all motors
have noise level below 82 dB(A), optional
designs provide even lower levels. Bearing
housing vibration levels are kept low to
enable fulfilment of the latest IEC and NEMA.
The high efficiency option allows the
motors to be optimized for minized energy
consumption and highest productivity.
Motors have form wound windings with
Micadur Compact Industry Insulation
System, insulation class F (155C).
The motors are environmentally sound and
sustainable. Special attention has been paid to
material and paint selection. High operational
efficiency supports the efforts to reduce the
production of CO2.

What is new for variable speed

drive motors?
Stiff shaft design is now available also for
2-pole variable speed drive motors. Stiff shaft
ensures low vibrations through the entire
speed range, i.e. from 0 rpm to maximum
rated speed, since the first critical speed is
higher than the rated maximum speed.
From an insulation point of view the design
yields very moderate voltage stresses between
winding elements even when the motors are
supplied by a frequency converter. Therefore
all motors are well adapted for low and
medium voltage converters.

Which are the customer values?

High efficiency, high reliability, long time
between service intervals, low noise and
low vibrations ensure significant customer
values. The modular design with many
available options ensures that the motors
can be optimized for nearly all customer
requirements.

What is ABBs total motor offering?

ABB offers several comprehensive ranges of
AC motors and generators. We manufacture
synchronous motors for even the most
demanding applications, and a full range of
low and high voltage induction motors. Our
in-depth knowledge of virtually every type
of industrial processing ensures we always
specify the best solution for your needs.
