Frame and mechanical robustness: The cast-iron housing and 6316/C3 bearings provide long life under heavy loads, reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment availability in process lines. This translates to lower maintenance spend and higher throughput for pumps, fans, and conveyor systems in mining, chemical, and material handling applications. Protection and enclosure: IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress in harsh environments, lowering the risk of motor failure in dusty plants or wet production areas and supporting reliable operation in 40 °C ambient conditions. Electrical and efficiency specs: Insulation Class ICLF with IC411, combined with IE1 efficiency (93% full-load at 50 Hz, 93.0% at 100% load in 60 Hz as applicable), delivers tangible energy savings across extended run times. Mounting and compatibility: 280 mm frame, cast-iron construction, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting simplify retrofits and OEM integrations, ensuring straightforward alignment with standard ABB drives and control panels. Rotation and accessibility: Direction of rotation can be set for both sides, and the D-End top terminator box location streamlines wiring during commissioning, reducing installation time and field issues.

FAQs
This motor is designed for reliable operation with variable frequency drives and soft starters common in ABB and compatible third-party drive systems. With IE1 efficiency, S1 duty, and IP55 protection, it delivers steady torque control, energy efficiency, and protection in demanding processes such as pumping and conveying. It is easy to integrate into standard control schemes and supports straightforward field tuning for smooth startup and acceleration.
Key specs include a 3-phase squirrel cage design, 280 frame, weight around 576–596 kg, IP55 enclosure, ICFL insulation, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting. It operates with a 2-pole design, S1 duty, and a voltage code 'D'. The bearing arrangement is 6316/C3, and it supports up to 1000 m altitude with ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. IE1 efficiency aligns with typical energy-saving targets in continuous operation.
Yes. The ABB 3GBA281250-ADT is rated for up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures of 40 °C, making it suitable for moderately elevated or hot industrial locations. Its IP55 protection and ICFL insulation provide resilience against dust, moisture, and heat, while the S1 duty rating ensures dependable continuous operation in challenging production lines.
The motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box, simplifying electrical connections and alignment with standard ABB drives. It supports rotation in both directions, aiding flexible installation. This arrangement reduces commissioning time and helps ensure correct shaft alignment and wiring, especially in retrofit projects or multi-motor installations.
The cast-iron frame, robust bearings, and IP55/ICLF specifications contribute to longer service intervals and reduced maintenance costs. IE1 efficiency lowers operating energy costs over the motor’s life in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors. These factors collectively improve uptime, reduce total cost of ownership, and support rapid ROI in heavy-industry environments.
