ABB debuted its Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motor, which the company describes as a solution to most severe-duty application challenges.

Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motors are built in Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma, and they are available now from local inventory. The motors are easy to install and maintain, the company says, offering a range of standard features.

“When it comes to performance, the Severe Duty XT is a versatile option for what the industry expects as severe duty,” says Matt Rodebush, ABB’s NEMA motors global segment manager. “With Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motors, premium features come standard on a wide variety of configurations, so it’s easy to get up and running with a high-performance motor for the most demanding applications.”

According to ABB, the motors include a number of off-the-shelf components that can help severe-duty applications perform safely and reliably, including a heavy-duty cast-iron frame construction that is available from 1- to 300-hp NEMA 143T frame up to 449T frame. Additionally, the motors features enhanced ingress protection and corrosion-resistant two-part epoxy paint, as well as color lead cables for easy identification and installation.
