IE4 efficiency and a robust 11 kW output minimize energy consumption while sustaining torque under start-up and peak load conditions. The business impact is lower operating costs and improved machine availability in conveyors, pumps, and fans. This motor's 6-pole design delivers stable speed and torque, reducing mechanical stress and vibration in automation lines. The cast iron frame and IP55 enclosure provide reliable operation in demanding environments, enabling installations in workshops, outdoor equipment, or washdown areas. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility supports straightforward retrofits and fast integration into legacy systems, saving installation time and reducing downtime. The 400 V, 50 Hz input with a D connection configuration aligns with standard European power distribution, simplifying wiring and control integration. With an ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, the motor maintains performance in typical plant conditions, while IC411 insulation adds thermal resilience for long, maintenance-friendly lifecycles. In short, this motor combines durability, efficiency, and practical compatibility for modern automation.

FAQs
The ABB 3GBA163420-ADN supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting, which aligns with standard European frame 160 configurations. It uses a D connection configuration and a 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply, making it straightforward to retrofit into existing equipment or supplement new lines without extensive re-wiring or enclosure redesigns.
IE4 efficiency indicates very low energy losses at full load, translating to lower operating costs over the motor’s life. With a rated output of 11 kW at 400 V and 50 Hz, the motor maintains high efficiency across load conditions (full load around 92.3%), which reduces energy consumption during peak and part-load operation in conveyors, pumps, and fans.
Yes. The motor features IP55 protection and a durable cast-iron frame, designed for reliability in challenging environments. It operates effectively at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, supporting robust performance in workshops, outdoor equipment, and production floors with demanding duty cycles.
Key certifications include IE4 efficiency (IE Class data), IC411 insulation, and IP55 enclosure protection. The unit is compatible with IMB3/IM1001 mounting standards and is built to meet CE-related expectations. These attributes support regulatory compliance, energy efficiency programs, and safe integration into European control systems.
Upgrading to this motor reduces maintenance demands through a rugged cast-iron frame, long-life bearings (6309-2Z/C3), and a design aligned with IMB3/IM1001 mounting for reliable mechanical coupling. The motor’s high IE4 efficiency lowers thermal stress, potentially reducing cooling requirements and wear on ancillary drive components, which translates into lower total cost of ownership.
