ABB Crane Duty Squirrel Cage Induction Motors incorporating State-of-the-art technology, are specially designed to service the cranes and hoists. These motors have unique torque-speed characteristics, which results in rapid acceleration causing minimum heat losses in rotor circuit. ABB crane duty motors are robust in construction and extremely sound in electrical and mechanical design. These motors can also be used for similar applications in intermittent duty. These motors have high starting torque with low starting current and are suitable for frequent starts, stops and reversing operation. Further, rapid acceleration is achieved by high pull out torque/ rotor inertia ratio.
