FAQs
Install the 3GBA162410-BST on a compatible base using the 160 frame footprint and cast-iron housing. Ensure correct alignment with the IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and mount the unit with the D-End top terminator box located as specified. Wire connections should follow standard ABB or compatible VFD wiring practices, and verify IP55 seals after wiring.
At 50 Hz, Full Load efficiency is IE1 with typical values around 87.6% and higher at partial loads (75% ~88.0%, 50% ~87.5%). At 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency is about 88.5%, with partial-load values near 88.1% (75%) and 86.7% (50%). The motor is a 4-pole, 160-frame unit with IP55 protection and IC411 insulation.
Yes. The motor features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, making it well-suited for environments with dust, moisture, and moderate temperature variation. This combination reduces windings exposure risk, improves reliability in production settings, and supports longer service intervals in demanding industries like packaging, process, and material handling.
Ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing, packaging, and processing facilities. The 4-pole design, 160-frame size, and cast-iron frame deliver durability for continuous-duty operations (S1), while IE1 efficiency helps lower energy consumption in high-cycle applications. The motor’s robust bearings and mount flexibility support integration with ABB drives and third-party controls.
The 6209-2Z/C3 bearings and IMB5 IM3001 class provide long bearing life and predictable maintenance needs. IP55 and IC411 insulation minimize unplanned downtime due to environmental ingress and winding issues. Overall, customers typically see reduced maintenance costs, improved uptime, and energy savings from IE1 efficiency over the motor’s lifecycle.
