ABB 3GBA161410-BST 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55
Part Number: 3GBA161410-BST
Quick Summary
ABB 3GBA161410-BST motor is a 3-phase squirrel cage drive for industrial pumps and conveyors. Engineers often grapple with mounting compatibility, efficiency across varying loads, and maintaining reliability in harsh environments. This design delivers IP55 protection, an ICLF insulation class, and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, supporting rugged operation at height and vibration. Cast iron frame and a robust 2-pole configuration optimize torque delivery and thermal performance for continuous duty S1 applications. IE1 efficiency data at 50 and 60 Hz confirms favorable energy use, reducing operating costs over the motor's lifetime. The M2BAX designation and standardized sourcing ensure predictable interchangeability and streamlined procurement across industrial plants.

FAQs
The motor uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting and features a D-End top terminator box location, which aligns with common ABB and third-party frames. This simplifies retrofits by matching standard mounting footprints and bolt patterns, reducing alignment effort and downtime during replacement or upgrade projects.
IES data shows IE1 efficiency with Full Load (100%) around 87.6% at 50 Hz and 87.5% at 60 Hz; Partial Load figures are 87.9% at 75% and 84.6% at 50%. These values indicate solid energy performance across typical load ranges for continuous operation in process and material handling applications.
Yes. The M2BAX design supports S1 continuous duty, with IP55 protection, a cast iron frame, and a robust bearing setup. It is engineered for reliable operation in factory floors with dust, moisture, and vibration, making it well-suited for pumps, fans, and conveyors in challenging environments.
Key design standards include IP55 protection for enclosure integrity and ICLF insulation class for elevated temperature tolerance. The motor also conforms to industry benchmarks relevant to heavy industry: IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and IE1 efficiency profile. These features support regulatory compliance, safe operation, and predictable maintenance planning.
The combination of IP55 protection, IE1 efficiency, and durable cast iron construction reduces downtime and energy costs over the motor’s lifecycle. Although initial procurement may be higher than a standard grade motor, the improved reliability, longer bearing life, and lower maintenance frequency translate into a lower total cost of ownership for capital-intensive processes.
