Feature: IE5 efficiency with synchronous reluctance (SynRM) technology reduces energy use across variable loads, cutting operating costs and heat in drive trains. This improves system performance without adding complexity to drive control. Applications include pumps, fans, and conveyors in manufacturing environments where efficiency delivers tangible ROI. Feature: Ex ec protection and IP55 enclosure provide safety and reliability in harsh environments. The motor is designed for hazardous zones and tough washdowns, minimizing corrosion risk and unplanned downtime. This makes it suitable for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and heavy industrial sites where protective ratings matter. Feature: IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and a robust 160 frame with a cast-iron body enable fast installation and long service life. The design supports standard assembly practices, reducing commissioning time and spare-part complexity. It also simplifies retrofits and upgrades in existing automation lines. Feature: Y-connection at 690 V and 50 Hz with a four-pole, 160-frame motor matches common industrial power networks and VFD interfaces. The simple wiring and consistent footprint ease integration with existing drives, control panels, and protection schemes. This helps minimize downtime during expansion or modernization projects. Feature: Sustainability data and Eco Solutions alignment, including an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), support procurement goals and regulatory reporting. The motor meets corporate sustainability expectations while maintaining performance in demanding processes across global operations.

FAQs
The motor uses a Y connection for 690 V operation and supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a 160 frame. Ensure proper ventilation and cooling, respect altitude and ambient temperature limits, and connect through compatible drives. Use standard control panels and protective devices, and verify IP55 enclosure integrity to maintain environmental protection during commissioning.
IE5 efficiency indicates top-tier energy performance across rated and partial loads, reducing electrical losses and heat. In continuous or high-duty applications, this translates to lower energy bills, cooler operation, and improved system reliability. Combined with SynRM technology, it supports sustained savings in pumps, fans, and conveyors without sacrificing torque or control.
Yes. The ABB 3GGL162412-BUC features Ex ec explosion protection and is rated IP55 for protection against dust and water ingress. It also carries IE5 energy efficiency certification and is compatible with standard industrial safety practices, making it suitable for chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and other hazardous environments.
The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a 160 frame and cast-iron construction, which streamlines retrofits. Before replacement, verify the existing footprint, drive compatibility, and mounting clearances. The Y connection, 690 V supply, and 4-pole configuration support straightforward integration with common drives and control cabinets.
With IE5 efficiency and Ex ec protection, maintenance intervals can be extended due to lower thermal stress and robust build. The IP55 enclosure and cast-iron frame resist harsh conditions, reducing downtime. Lifecycle cost benefits come from energy savings, safer operation, and easier spares management through standard ABB mounting and mounting-compatible accessories.
