The ABB M2BA 90SLC 2 is a three-phase induction motor built by ABB. The rated output is 2.2 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 90. The protection class is IP55, IP56, IP65 and IP66. The efficiency is 84 per cent at full load, 84.7 per cent at 75 per cent load and 83.6 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 25 kg. Stated countries of manufacture: India, Poland, China and Finland. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEEE 112-B(USA). Rated output across the ABB range ranges from 0.75 to 185 kW; the M2BA 90SLC 2 sits at the bottom of that range with 2.2 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the M3BP 112MJ 6L below it with 2 kW and the M2BA 100 LE 4B above it with 3 kW. 2143 ABB models across 2 series are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 23 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

ABB M2BA – the cast-iron generation before the M3BP: frame sizes 80 to 355, 0.75 to 185 kW, mostly below today's efficiency classes

M2BA is the predecessor of the M3BP: ABB's second-generation cast-iron motor, fitted in the 1990s and early 2000s in pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors and still running in many plants today. The type code reads like the successor's – M for motor, 2 for the generation, B for cast iron, A for the general execution – followed by IEC frame size, frame length and number of poles. Anyone who finds 'M2BA 132SMB 4' next to 'M3BP 132SMB 4' in the register is looking at two generations of the same mechanical frame size.

The register lists 127 versions from frame size 80 to 355 with 0.75 to 185 kW, two- to eight-pole. Full-load efficiencies lie between 74.1 and 95.6 % – at the top end about one and a half percentage points below the best M3BP of the same size. The efficiency note in the registrations is telling: of 127 M2BA only one meets the high-efficiency level that is confirmed for the M3BP series in 157 of 364 cases. Protection IP55 to IP66, mountings B3, B5, B35 and vertical, rated voltage 400 to 415 V; recorded weights 16 to 75 kg for the small frames. Manufacturing locations per registration: India, Poland, China, Finland and Spain.

For operators the M2BA is therefore a typical candidate for an efficiency swap: a motor running 6,000 hours a year pays back an IE3 successor through electricity savings – the shaft height stays, the frame fits.

When buying spares, frame size, mounting and shaft end matter; new motors of this generation are, because of the EU Ecodesign regulation, practically only available as remaining stock or reconditioned.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the ABB M2BA 90SLC 2 have?

The ABB M2BA 90SLC 2 delivers 2.2 kW.

What to check before buying

  • Match the data plate against the order: frame size, mounting and rating have to agree.
  • Check the ingress rating against the installation site — outdoors or in dust the demands differ.
  • Hold the mounting form and dimensions against the existing seat before ordering.
  • The pole count sets the speed — when replacing an older unit, compare this first.
  • For used units, ask about winding condition and bearing play.
  • Ask about parts availability for this series — the running costs hang on it.
