FAQs
Installation requires a 400 V, 50 Hz supply with a 4-pole configuration, D connection, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Use proper belt/pulley alignment, secure the cast iron frame to a solid base, and verify rotation direction. Ensure IP55 seals are intact and that electrical connections follow local standards and ABB installation guidelines.
The motor delivers IE4 efficiency, IP55 protection, and ICFL insulation. IE4 supports lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs, IP55 ensures protection against dust and water ingress in harsh environments, and ICFL insulation enhances reliability at elevated ambient temperatures. These ratings align with stringent industrial performance requirements and regulatory expectations.
Yes. The ABB 3GBA162420-BDNCN is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting, facilitating retrofit compatibility with many legacy drives. Confirm frame size, shaft alignment, and terminal box location during planning, then verify mechanical clearances and cable routing to ensure a smooth upgrade and minimal downtime.
Ideal for conveyors, pumps, fans, and other automated equipment in manufacturing and processing facilities. The 4-pole design provides reliable torque with predictable control, while the 400 V 50 Hz rating supports widespread industrial electrical infrastructure. Its rugged cast iron frame and IP55 protection make it well-suited for demanding shop floor environments.
IE4 efficiency lowers energy consumption, while the IMB5 mounting and durable bearings reduce maintenance and downtime. The IP55 enclosure minimizes protective seal failures, and the sturdy cast iron frame supports longer service life. Together, these factors contribute to a shorter payback period and improved long-term ROI on automated systems.
