The IE4 efficiency of the ABB 3GBA161420-ADNCN translates directly into measurable energy savings in continuous-run applications such as pumps and fans. With 15 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, the motor reduces operating costs by lowering electrical losses across full-load and partial-load conditions, where IE4 performance remains high (Full Load 93.3%, Partial Load 75% 93.5%, 50% 92.9%). In practice, that means a shorter payback period when replacing older IEC motors and a lower carbon footprint for facilities. Cast iron frame size 160 and IP55 enclosure provide rugged durability and protection against dust and water ingress in harsh environments like metalworking, packaging, or chemical processing. The D connection, 2-pole design, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify wiring and installation, enabling straightforward retrofits and faster commissioning. Finally, insulation class ICLF and bearings 6309-2Z/C3 support long-term operation with minimal vibration, reducing maintenance costs over the life of the motor.

FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting and uses a D-ended connection configuration. Plan mounting on a rigid base suitable for a 160 frame with 626.5 mm length, 414 mm height, and 310 mm width. Ensure panel wiring follows the 400 V, 50 Hz supply and verify the termination box is positioned at the D-End top for easy access during commissioning.
The motor delivers 15 kW at 400 V and 50 Hz with two-pole operation. IE4 efficiency is specified, with full-load efficiency around 93.3% and partial-load figures near 93.5% at 75% load and 92.9% at 50% load, enabling substantial energy savings in continuous duty or variable-load applications.
Yes. The motor carries an IP55 enclosure, offering dust protection and limited water ingress suitable for demanding factory floor conditions. It is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, making it well-suited for typical industrial plants and installations with moderate environmental exposure.
The unit uses a D connection configuration and is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The 160 frame size and specified base can simplify retrofits into existing equipment racks. Wiring is streamlined through the D-ended terminal box, facilitating quick and reliable electrical installation in 400 V/50 Hz systems.
Key certifications and standards include IE4 Super Premium Efficiency, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation class, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The motor is specified as a cast-iron 160 frame with a 15 kW output, designed for robust, long-life operation in industrial environments across global facilities.
