ABB 3GBA163410-AST Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55
Part Number: 3GBA163410-AST
Quick Summary
ABB 3GBA163410-AST is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for demanding industrial drives across manufacturing lines. Engineers and procurement teams often face downtime and performance variability when motors are under-sized or poorly protected in harsh plant environments. This model delivers key protections and efficiency standards, including IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IE1 efficiency, helping sites meet regulatory and energy targets. With a rugged cast iron frame, 6-pole design in a 160 frame, and convenient D-End top terminal box, it supports straightforward installation, servicing, and long-term reliability in high-demand production settings. The result is lower lifecycle costs and more consistent uptime for critical processes.

FAQs
ABB 3GBA163410-AST supports operation at up to 1000 m altitude with a 40 °C ambient limit. For installation, use the D-End top terminal box to simplify wiring runs and ensure secure cable entry. Verify bearing alignment and mount on rigid bases to minimize vibration, especially during startup in elevated facilities.
This motor features IP55 protection for dusty and damp environments, IC411 insulation class for elevated temperature resistance, and IE1 efficiency. These certifications support CE-compliant installations and help meet energy and safety standards across most industrial facilities.
Key specs include a 160 frame size, 6 high poles, cast iron frame, and bearings 6209-2Z/C3 with NDE 6209-2Z/C3. The motor is designed for S1 continuous duty with a D-End top terminator box, offering reliable torque and straightforward serviceability in rugged plant environments.
Yes. The motor is rated for S1 duty, providing continuous operation with consistent performance. Its IE1 efficiency level, IP55 protection, and robust IMB3 IM1001 mounting classification support reliable long-run operation in packaging, material handling, and plastics processing lines.
The cast iron frame, robust bearings, and sealed IP55 enclosure reduce maintenance intervals and risk of unexpected failures. Longer bearing life and fewer replacement cycles translate to lower total cost of ownership, improved uptime, and faster return on investment for production-critical applications.
