ABB speeds up certified NEMA motor mods EU-wide 02 May 2014

Modifications to NEMA motors certified to CSA standards can now be undertaken by ABB at its European logistics centre in Germany for use anywhere in Europe.

ABB's Mod Express line motor build centre carries out the work on NEMA general-purpose, severe-duty and IEEE 841 severe-duty motors held in stock.

Robin Cowley, ABB's product manager for NEMA motors, says that general-purpose and IEEE severe-duty motors are available with foot mount, C-face foot and C-face footless options, while severe-duty motors are stocked with foot mounted options.

Modifications include installation of thermistors, thermal protection sensors, bearing upgrades, conduit box modifications, tropicalisation, customised paint finishes and nameplate modification.

"Our customers can be confident that ABB supplies a range of NEMA motors for immediate delivery, and also modifies those motors with the majority of typical options in-house by our accredited specialists," states Cowley.

"The ABB facility in Menden stands as the flagship of NEMA motor stock and customisation, with no other manufacturer able to match ABB's range and modifications services," he claims.
