M2BAX Series is High-Efficiency IE2 low voltage general performance cast iron motors and Premium-Efficiency IE3 motor designed by ABB.
ABB uses class F insulation, which, with temperature rise B, is the most common requirement among industry today. The use of class F insulation with class B temperature rise gives ABB products a 25 °C safety margin. This can be used to increase the loading for limited periods, to operate at higher ambient temperatures or altitudes, or with greater voltage and frequency tolerances. It can also be used to extend insulation. For instance, a 10 K temperature reduction will extend the insulation life.
The impact on temperature rise caused by voltage and frequency fluctuation is defined in IEC 60034-1. The standard divides the combinations into two zones, A and B. Zone A is the combination of voltage deviation of +/-5 % and frequency deviation of +/-2 %. Zone B is the combination of voltage deviation of +/-10 % and frequency deviation of +3/-5 %. This is illustrated in figure below. Motors are capable of supplying the rated torque in both zones A and B, but the temperature rise will be higher than at rated voltage and frequency. Motors can be run in zone B only for a short period of time.
