ABB 3GBA162420-AST 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55

The 160 frame size with a cast-iron body and a four-pole rotor provides high starting torque and excellent mechanical strength. This design reduces vibration and extends bearing life, improving uptime in continuous operation lines. It is well suited for general-purpose drives in conveyors, pumps, and fans where reliability matters most. IP55 protection seals the motor against dust and water ingress, minimizing field failures in harsh environments. The protective rating translates into lower maintenance interruptions and longer service intervals in production halls and outdoor installations. Ideal for packaging lines, mining equipment, and process plants where grime and occasional washdowns are common. IE1 efficiency with measured full-load and partial-load performance helps you meet energy targets without sacrificing performance. At 50 Hz the motor delivers about 88.7–89% efficiency under full load, and around 88.2–88.8% at partial loads, contributing to lower operating costs over the asset’s life. Insulation Class ICLF supports elevated ambient temperatures and moderate altitude, enabling reliable performance at 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m above sea level. This resilience reduces the risk of insulation breakdown in challenging sites and seasonal climates. The motor’s robust bearings (6209-2Z/C3), IM class IMB3 IM1001, and D‑End top termination box simplify installation, servicing, and field wiring. These design choices minimize maintenance time, improve fault diagnosis, and support seamless upgrades within existing drive ecosystems. Duty S1 (continuous) operation aligns with steady-running applications, ensuring predictable thermal behavior and consistent output for critical industrial processes. Voltage Code S supports standard supply configurations, while the overall package is ready for straightforward integration with ABB and third‑party drive systems.
