support.

A single phone call or fax to any ABB sales officeenables you to access our highly efficient on-linesales and support network. For LV motors, our centralstock locations in Europe, Singapore and the US,guarantee delivery of any of our 10 000 stock itemswithin 2-72 hours. You can even order and trackdeliveries on-line via the Internet. Motors, and smallpower drives, can also be ordered on-line at distrib-utors via Comp-AC.

On-line availability guaranteed

As motors account for around 65 percent of the totalelectric energy consumed in industrial applications,higher efficiency levels are extremely cost effective.Which is why our motors and generators are designedto meet ever-increasing demands for higher efficienciesand greater reliability.

In fact, ABB has always led the way in this area.We introduced the very first EU eff1-equivalent LVmotor as early as 1993. Today we have productranges in EU energy efficiency classes eff1 and eff2,and no motors in the lowest efficiency class eff3.Which means our products deliver substantial costsavings and environmental benefits and pay forthemselves very quickly, compared with less efficientrival motors.

ABB and the Environment

The ABB Group is committed to minimizing theenvironmental impact of all its products, systems andservices. By developing increasingly efficient products,we help reduce energy consumption, emissions andoperating costs.

We have also implemented sound environmentpractices at our factories, which are all now ISO14001 certified. This standard is your guarantee thatusing ABB equipment will help reduce the environ-mental impact of your company and its products,too.

Induction motors are the true workhorses ofindustry, widely used in the pulp and paper,petro/chemical, marine and offshore, power,water and wastewater processing industries.Typical applications include pumps, fans, blow-ers, compressors, conveyors, mills, crushers,refiners, pulverizers, and vessel thrusters.

Induction motors

Totally enclosed fancooled, or open dripproof, aluminum, steelor cast iron frames. Ourmotors are field provenfor demanding industrialapplications rangingfrom air circulation to oiland gas exploration;conveyor drives to tradi-tional fans and pumps.

Our ultra high efficient LV mo-tors are of totally enclosedfan cooled design, with alu-minum or cast iron frames.All fall within EU efficiencyclassification eff1 and theNorth American EPCA equiv-alent.

The slip ring unit is positioned atone end of the motor for ease ofmaintenance. The unit can be fittedwith permanent contact brushes foradjustable speed drives, or with abrush-lifting device for continuousoperation. Also available for hazard-ous area applications.

Wind turbine generators are themost common variant of inductiongenerators. We can supply LV andHV, cast iron and steel wind turbinegenerators.

Modular induction motors usemodular building blocks based onthe same basic design. We offer acomplete range of enclosures andcooling arrangements as well asoptimal weight to power ratio. Alsoavailable for hazardous area appli-cations.

Synchronous Motors and Generators for Various Applications

Synchronous motors

High efficiency, robust constructionand short delivery times make oursynchronous generators ideal forpower plants, marine and otherindustries.

Synchronous Generators

A high degree of standardizationenables shorter delivery times andgreater versatility. Our standard mo-tors are suitable for general appli-cations in the petro/chemical, min-ing, metallurgy, pulp and paper andsimilar industries. They can also beused in special applications suchas wind tunnels and condensers.
