The 315 frame, cast iron construction provides exceptional durability and vibration resistance for harsh industrial environments, delivering longer service life and reduced maintenance costs in pumps and conveyors. The IP55 protection class safeguards against dust and moisture ingress, lowering the risk of electrical faults in dusty or humid facilities and simplifying routine servicing with a top-entry terminal box for faster wiring and fault tracing. IE1 efficiency at 50 and 60 Hz translates into meaningful energy savings during continuous operation, reducing operating expenses for 24/7 driven loads such as fans and process pumps. The motor’s S1 continuous duty rating, four-pole design, and dual rotation capability ensure consistent performance and flexible installation across rotating equipment in power plants or manufacturing lines. The combination of IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a robust bearing set (6319/C3 and 6316/C3) supports reliable start-up, maintenance predictability, and easy retrofits with existing ABB or third-party drive systems. Altitude tolerance up to 1000 m and ambient 40 °C further extend site applicability, making this motor a practical choice for elevated or hot environments that demand steady, predictable operation.

FAQs
Plan for a top-entry terminal box layout and a 315 frame footprint to fit standard mounting spaces. The motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a cast-iron frame, which supports straightforward alignment and secure belt or coupling connections. Ensure ambient temperature stays near 40 °C and altitude remains within 1000 m to protect insulation performance and maintain rated IE1 efficiency. Confirm electrical connections match voltage code D and that rotating equipment is placed on a vibration-damped base to minimize bearing wear.
The motor is designed for IE1 efficiency with Full Load performance of 93.8% at 50 Hz and 94.5% at 60 Hz. Partial-load figures are slightly lower, but the design maintains efficient operation across common industrial loads. This translates to reduced energy costs for continuous duty applications such as pumps and fans, helping shorten payback periods in new builds or retrofit scenarios.
Yes. The ABB 3GBA312230-ADT is specified for S1 continuous duty with a four-pole configuration, making it ideal for steady, uninterrupted operation in pumps, fans, and conveyors. Its IP55 protection and durable cast-iron frame help maintain reliability in challenging environments, while the top-entry box simplifies ongoing maintenance and wiring adjustments without disrupting operation.
The motor’s 3-phase design and voltage code D enable straightforward integration with standard VFDs and control systems used in industrial plants. Its robust bearings (6319/C3 and 6316/C3) and IM mounting class support reliable coupling to variable-speed drives, while the top-entry terminal box streamlines cabling for drive installation and future service or component upgrades.
Maintenance benefits come from the cast-iron frame, IP55 protection, and reliable bearings, which together reduce downtime and parts replacement. With IE1 energy efficiency and S1 duty, the motor lowers operating costs during long-running cycles. High reliability and compatibility with ABB control ecosystems also minimize spare-parts stock and support costs, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership and a shorter ROI period.
