IE4 efficiency with 11 kW output reduces energy consumption and heat generation, improving overall plant efficiency and lowering operating costs in continuous-duty applications. This performance translates to reduced cooling load and energy bills for conveyors, pumps, and fans, enhancing uptime and process stability. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation protect internal windings from dust and moisture, enabling reliable operation in harsh production environments and high ambient temperatures up to 50 °C. The cast iron frame size 160 provides superior rigidity and vibration damping, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplifies installation and alignment, shortening commissioning time. A 6-pole design at 415 V 50 Hz delivers strong starting torque for belt-driven machinery, with a Delta (D) connection option that supports flexible panel wiring. The 6209-2Z C3 bearings offer extended life in demanding conditions, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs. Built for up to 1000 m altitude and 50 °C ambient, it supports diverse site requirements and reduces lifecycle risk for OEMs and end users alike.

FAQs
ABB 3GBA163420-BDNIN supports D-configuration (Delta) for connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. It uses a 3-phase supply 415 V, 50 Hz, with a 6-pole, 11 kW design in a 160 frame, cast iron body. The bearing arrangement is 6209-2Z C3, and the terminator box sits on the D-End top for easy wiring. This combination simplifies panel integration and alignment with IMB5 IM3001 standards.
IE4 efficiency reduces energy losses, improving overall motor efficiency across load conditions. For this model, Full Load (100%) efficiency is 92.3%, with Partial Load (75%) at 92.4% and Partial Load (50%) at 91.6%. These figures translate to meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors, lowering electricity bills and cooling requirements while maintaining performance.
Yes. The motor features IP55 protection, ensuring robust enclosure sealing against dust and moisture. It is rated for ambient temperatures up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments such as foundries, processing plants, and outdoor installations where reliability and protection are critical.
Typical applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, and general-purpose drives in material handling, process automation, and packaging lines. With its IE4 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and cast iron frame, it is well-suited to continuous-duty tasks that demand reliable torque, long service life, and predictable maintenance intervals in challenging environments.
The Cast Iron Frame 160 offers high rigidity and vibration damping, improving motor longevity in demanding installations. Coupled with IC411 insulation and a robust bearing arrangement (6209-2Z C3), it resists wear under continuous operation. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports straightforward installation and service access, reducing downtime during maintenance and enabling longer intervals between bearing and winding inspections.
