ABB (Cary, NC) continues to help companies increase motor efficiency by as much as 20% by expanding the ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 motor line.
The development of the new cast-iron totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) severe duty motor marks the second phase of ABB’s SP4 technology launch. This model is uniquely designed for applications in hazardous environments with certifications for Division 2 and Class I Groups A, B, C, D, as well as Class II Groups F, and G, making it suitable for areas with explosive gases and combustible dust. The model also features an IP55 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water spray, making it reliable for harsh and dirty conditions. ABB previously introduced two different models with SP4 technology: rolled steel open drip proof and totally enclosed fan cooled motors.
The SP4 product line builds on the simplicity of ABB’s proven AC induction motors and features a range of durable motors tailored to meet diverse, severe-duty applications. These motors are compatible with pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors and are ideal for all industries. The new cast-iron motors cover a power range of 25 to 300 horsepower, and the rolled steel models, which were launched earlier this year, are available in ¼ to 20 horsepower.
