The M2BA 90SLD 4 from ABB is a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 1.5 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 90 S in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 84.6 per cent at full load, 83.6 per cent at 75 per cent load and 80.9 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 28 kg. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B34, B35 and B14. Stated countries of manufacture: China and Spain. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under the GEMS Determination 2012; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the ABB range ranges from 0.75 to 185 kW; the M2BA 90SLD 4 sits at the bottom of that range with 1.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the M3VRF/S80B2 below it with 1.1 kW and the M3BP 112MJ 6L above it with 2 kW. 2143 ABB models across 2 series are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 26 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 90SLD 4 have?

The ABB M2BA 90SLD 4 delivers 1.5 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.
