Performance and reliability start here

The rotor
The key to long life for the rotor lies in ensuring
very low vibration levels. This is achieved through
robust construction and careful balancing of each
completed unit.
Rotor shaft material is selected according to the
duty and the ambient conditions. The spider
beam welds and subsequent stress relieving
are performed according to rigorous norms and
subjected to stringent inspection.

Rotors are dynamically

balanced at full
operating speed.

Squirrel cages are made from copper or copper

alloy dependent upon the loading and individual
customer requirements. Swaged rotor bars provide additional stiffness enabling the motors to
withstand long periods of heavy use.
Special accessories for
noise reduction are
available.

The stator
The stator core is welded and machined to form
a compact unit. Radial air ducts ensure uniform
and efficient cooling. The stator core forms a solid
block that retains its rigidity throughout the life of
the motor. The complete stator is vacuum-pressure impregnated.

Micadur Compact
Industry insulation
system
ABBs world renowned
insulation system gives
reliability and long life. The
windings and connections are insulated with
Mica- based tape. When
the windings are in place
the whole stator is impregnated in the vacuum
pressure impregnation
(VPI) process. Class F is
standard.
Coil locking
Well developed and proven
methods for locking coils
into slots and bracing coil
ends ensure long term
reliability.
Easy-to-connect
terminal boxes
All terminal boxes are
designed to facilitate cable
connection and shorten
installation time. Boxes
are available in explosion
proof or increased safety
execution.

The frame
The compact, rigid, welded frame construction is
designed to reduce overall weight, provide high
lateral and torsional stability and ensure low vibration levels in all operating conditions and over the
whole speed range.

The bearings
The bearings are designed for reliable, continuous
operation and ease of maintenance. Depending on
the power and speed of the motor the right choice
of bearing is made. Anti-friction bearings with a
predicted service life of over 100,000 hours can be
specified. ABB also offers spherically seated, selfaligning sleeve bearings. For greater radial load
capacity, cylindrical roller bearings can be used at
the drive end with a deep-groove ball bearing at
the non-drive end. All bearings feature a sealing
system that prevents dust penetration.

Easy-to-connect terminal
boxes
The standard terminal box is available in EEx d
flame-proof or EEx e Increased Safety execution.
Other types of connection boxes can be provided
on request (EEx e execution certified).
Following types are available:
Phase separated
Phase segregated
Phase insulated
With different types of cable connections such as
Raychem termination or Elastimold.
The box is turnable by 90 to provide cable entry
from any direction.
The terminal boxes are widely dimensioned in
order to facilitate cable fitting as much as possible.

of Exmachines, classified according to their hazard potential

Hazardous area classification

According to European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), IEC 60079.10, EN 60079.10 and NEC 505, hazardous environments are classified relating to the presence probability of flammable substances into
Zones.
AMD Flameproof machines are suitable for
use in zone 1 and 2

Gas groups
Air mixtures, gases and vapors are grouped in
function of the highest explosion pressure consequently, also apparatus to be employed in
hazardous area are classified accordingly:

ZONE 0 (*)
Group

Continuous
presence

ZONE 1

Apparatus for coal mines

II

Apparatus other than mines

Moreover, Group II apparatus are divided into sub

groups depending on Gas type.

Presence during
normal operation

ZONE 2
Presence just in case of
failure or abnormal
operation

ZONES 1 - 2

The motor is continuously filled with protective gas so that the explosive mixture
cannot enter the motor enclosure

Ex-d (IEC60079-1)
ZONES 1 - 2 The enclosure is designed in such a way that an explosion inside the
EEx d (EN50018)
motor will not cause any deformation and will prevent the flame from

The motor is designed so that the temperature of the external and internal parts
is always below the ignition temperature of the explosive mixture present in the
surroundings. Moreover, the Te time (locked rotor time), shall be at least 5 sec
or longer depending of the starting current (see Temperature Classes)

Ex-n (IEC60079-15)
EEx n (EN50021)
AEx nA (ISA S12.12.01)

The motor is designed in such a way that, during normal operation, no sparks
will occur and the temperature in any parts is below the ignition temperature of
the explosive mixture present in the surrounding (see Temperature Classes)
