The 225 frame size and cast iron construction provide high mechanical strength and durability to withstand heavy-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps, reducing shaft wear and maintenance cycles. This translates to lower downtime costs and longer service intervals in continuous operations. IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation protect windings from dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, enabling reliable performance at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, which is essential for outdoor or semi-indoor plants. IE1 efficiency data at 50 Hz and 60 Hz demonstrates energy savings across full and partial load conditions, supporting a smaller energy footprint and a faster return on investment. The motor’s bearing arrangement (6213-2Z/C3) and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class simplify installation, reduce alignment issues, and improve serviceability. With a D-End top terminator box and a single-speed S1 duty, it integrates with standard electrical cabinets and starter configurations, ensuring straightforward retrofits and predictable operation in existing lines. The design’s direction of rotation being suitable for both sides offers installation flexibility in tight spaces and multi-drive setups, while the 225 cast-iron frame resists torque and vibration, promoting longer life in demanding applications.

FAQs
For installation, use the IMB5 IM3001 mounting class suited to the 225 frame. The motor features a D-End top terminator box for convenient wiring, a cast-iron housing, and a 4-pole configuration which simplifies alignment with standard couplings and drive shafts. Ensure adequate ventilation and maintain ambient limits near 40 °C to preserve insulation integrity.
IP55 protection guards against limited dust ingress and water jets, reducing the risk of winding moisture and contamination. This enhances reliability in factories with dust, humidity, or washdown processes. It also supports longer intervals between maintenance and reduces the likelihood of unplanned downtime, especially in conveyors, fans, and pumps in harsh plants.
Yes, the ABB 3GBA222220-BDT is suitable for VFD-controlled applications given its S1 duty rating and standard IEC-driven design. When using a VFD, select a drive capable of handling a 4-pole induction motor with IP55 protection and ensure proper cooling, harmonics management, and motor nameplate alignment to maintain efficiency and protection levels.
At 50 Hz, IE Class IE1 ratings specify Full Load efficiency around 91.7%, with 75% and 50% loads near 91.5% and 90.8% respectively. At 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency is about 93.0%, 75% load around 92.3%, and 50% load near 90.7%. These values translate to tangible energy savings in continuous-duty applications like conveyors and pumps.
Key details include a 225 frame, cast-iron frame material, and weight around 292 kg net (302 kg gross). Bearing configuration is 6213-2Z/C3 with NDE 6210-2Z/C3, and the motor supports IMB5 IM3001 installation. The Terminator Box Location is D-End top, and rotation is possible on both ends, enabling flexible mounting in existing systems.
