 Low voltage motors

q ABB launches new low voltage AC motors with

improved energy efficiency and lifecycle
value.
q At the same time, the company has
rearranged its standard motor portfolio into
three ranges.

Types of motors
 Process Performance Motor

With the Process performance motors ABB is

ready to meet and exceed the future
challenges of energy efficiency requirements.
Likewise the customer expectations concerning
lifetime reliability of motors.
Continuous development work ensures highest
efficiency requirements as standard feature
of the Process performance motors.

 Industrial performance
motors
ABB's new Industrial performance motors offer
the flexibility needed by most of our
customers.
All variant codes normally needed by
customers are available. Motors fulfill
efficiency class requirements.

 General performance motor
ABB's new General performance motors are
best suited for applications where simplicity
and off-the-shelf availability are paramount.
With ABB quality and support these motors
have the features appreciated by volume
customers.

 Winding insulation
Variable speed drives cause higher voltage
stresses than the sinusoidal supply on the
winding of the motor.
Therefore the winding insulation of the motor
as well as the filter at the converter output
must be dimensioned according following
instructions.

The highest curve “ABB peak
Special Insulation”
applies to motors with a 
special winding
insulation for frequency
converter supply.

 Bearing currents
 
Insulated bearings or bearing constructions,
common mode filters and suitable cabling
and grounding methods must be used
according to the following instructions:
I.Elimination of bearing currents with ABB
ACS800 and ACS550 converters.
II.Elimination of bearing currents with all
other converters.

 Elimination of bearing currents with
ABB ACS800 and ACS550 converters .

In the case of the ABB ACS800 and ACS550-

series frequency converter with a diode
supply unit, the following methods must be
used to avoid harmful bearing currents in the
motors:
 Insulated bearings which have aluminum
oxide coated inner and/or outer bores or
ceramic rolling elements, are recommended.
Aluminum oxide coatings shall also be treated
with a sealant to prevent dirt and humidity
penetrating into the porous coating.

 Elimination of bearing currents with
all other converters
 
The user is responsible for protecting the
motor and driven equipment from harmful
bearing currents.but their effectiveness
cannot be guaranteed in all cases.


 Cabling , grounding and EMC

To provide proper grounding and to ensure

compliance with any applicable EMC
requirements.
Motors above 30 kW shall be cabled by shielded
symmetrical cables and EMC glands, i.e. cable
glands providing 360° bonding.
Also for smaller motors symmetrical and shielded
cables are highly recommended. Make the 360°
grounding arrangement at all the cable entries as
described in the instructions for the glands.
Twist the cable shields into bundles and connect to
the nearest ground terminal/bus bar inside the
terminal box, converter cabinet, etc.

 Operating speed

For speeds higher than the nominal speed

stated on the motor’s rating plate or in the
respective product.
Ensure that either the highest permissible
rotational speed of the motor or the critical
speed of the whole application is not
exceeded.



 Rating plates
The usage of ABB’s motors in variable speed
applications do not usually require additional
rating plates.
However, in some special applications the motors
can be equipped with additional rating plates for
variable speed applications and those include
following information:
 - speed range
 - power range
 -voltage and current range
 - type of torque (constant or quadratic)
 - converter type and required minimum switching
frequency.
 Commissioning the variable
speed application
The commissioning of the variable speed
application must be done according to the
instructions of the frequency converter and
local laws and regulations.
All parameters needed for setting the
converter must be taken from the motor
rating plates. The most often needed
parameters are:
 - Motor nominal voltage
 - Motor nominal current
 - Motor nominal frequency
 - Motor nominal speed

 Maintenance

Voltage may be connected at standstill inside

the terminal box for heating elements or
direct winding heating.
The capacitor in single-phase motors can retain
a charge that appears across the motor
terminals, even when the motor has reached
standstill.


 General inspection
Inspect the motor at regular intervals, at least once a
year.
The frequency of checks depends on, for example, the
humidity level of the ambient air and on the local
weather conditions.
Keep the motor clean and ensure free ventilation airflow.
If the motor is used in a dusty environment the
ventilation system must be regularly checked and
cleaned.
Check the condition of shaft seals (e.g. V-ring or radial
seal) and replace if necessary.
Check the condition of connections and mounting and
assembly bolts.
Check the bearing condition by listening for any unusual
noise, vibration measurement, bearing temperature,
 Lubrication

Bearing types are specified in the respective

product catalogs and on the rating plate of all
motors except smaller frame sizes.
Reliability is a vital issue for bearing lubrication
intervals.
 Types of lubrication

 A. Manual lubrication
 B. Automatic lubrication

 Manual lubrication
Regreasing while the motor is running
– Remove grease outlet plug or open closing
valve if fitted.
– Be sure that the lubrication channel is open

– Inject the specified amount of grease into the

bearing.
– Let the motor run for 1-2 hours to ensure that

all excess grease is forced out of the bearing.

 Automatic lubrication

The grease outlet plug must be removed

permanently with automatic lubrication or
open closing valve if fitted.
ABB recommends only the use of
electromechanical systems.
