7 In this context, low voltage refers to motors that operate at voltages less than 1 000 V and produce a maximum power of 1 000 kW. The reference values provided in this guide apply specifically to ABB's Process performance Motor range. The designation IEC means that the motors conform to standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission. For example, IEC. standardizes the frame size of motors ; in the case of Process performance motors , there are frame sizes starting from IEC frame 56 in the aluminum range up to 450 (millimeters from shaft to base) in the cast iron Motor range.

8 More recently, IEC standards have specified how motors should be classified into energy efficiency classes. 8 9 AKK105285 EN 02-2014 | ABB motors and Generators Introduction About ABB. ABB ( ) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100. countries and employs about 145,000 people. ABB manages its business based on a divisional structure, with five divisions: Power Products, Power Systems, Discrete Automation and Motion, Low voltage Products and Process Automation.

9 At ABB, motors are manufactured and marketed by the business unit motors and Generators, which is part of ABB's Discrete Automation and Motion division. The Discrete Automation and Motion division offers a wide range of products and services including drives, motors , generators, power electronics systems, rectifiers, power quality and power protection products, converters, photovoltaic inverters, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and robots. These products help customers to improve productivity, save energy, improve quality and generate energy.

10 The business unit motors and Generators manufactures low, medium and high voltage motors and generators, and mechanical power transmission products. ABB products are backed up by an extensive portfolio of services and a high level expertise in a wide variety of Motor applications. ABB motors and Generators | 9 AKK105285 EN 02-2014 9. IEC low voltage Motor ranges In this overview, motors are classified primarily according to their fundamental physical differences, and secondarily, according to their purpose of use.
