The ABB M3AA is a three-phase induction motor built by ABB. The rated output is 55 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 250. The protection class is IP55, IP56 and IP65. The efficiency is 95.9 per cent at full load, 95.8 per cent at 75 per cent load and 94.9 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: V1, V3, V5 and V6. The motor is built in Sweden. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration 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 M3AA sits in the lower part of that range with 55 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the M3AA200MLC4 below it with 48 kW and the M3AA 225SMD 4 above it with 64 kW. 2143 ABB models across 2 series are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 25 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the ABB M3AA have?

The ABB M3AA delivers 55 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.
