FAQs
ABB 3GBC281223-BXG is a 280-frame, 2-pole, cast-iron motor designed for straightforward mounting with standard IEC-compatible fixtures. Ensure proper alignment, secure mounting to IMB5 IM3001 bases, and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water jets, reducing enclosure-related installation concerns in semi-outdoor areas.
Key specs include 2-pole design for high-start torque, S1 continuous duty, and a robust IMB5 IM3001 mounting class. The IP55 enclosure and IC416 insulation support reliable operation in 40 °C environments and up to 1000 m altitude, making it suitable for demanding conveyor and pump applications where uptime matters.
Yes. The 3GBC281223-BXG motor is a standard 3-phase, 2-pole unit designed for integration with common motor drives and controls. Its 280 frame and cast-iron housing simplify mounting and cabling, while the S1 duty rating ensures predictable performance when paired with ABB or third-party VFDs and protection relays.
This motor features an IP55 enclosure for environmental protection, IC416 insulation class for elevated temperature resistance, and an ICLF insulation system for reliability in demanding conditions. It is designed for heavy industrial use with a robust cast-iron frame, suitable for stringent plant standards and long service life.
With IP55 protection, a durable cast-iron frame, and a 2-pole configuration for reliable torque, maintenance intervals are typically extended compared with lighter-duty designs. The combination reduces downtime and spare parts complexity, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership and faster return on investment in mid-to-large scale manufacturing environments.
