ABB 3GBC281232-AXG 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55 IC411
Part Number: 3GBC281232-AXG
Quick Summary
The ABB 3GBC281232-AXG is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor for heavy‑duty industrial drives. It helps prevent uptime loss in harsh environments by combining a rugged cast‑iron frame with proven insulation and a robust build. Key protections and standards include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, supporting reliable operation in challenging conditions; mounting and enclosure considerations are well‑defined to simplify installation. For procurement, the Finland origin and 280 frame design, along with a 1 piece MOQ, streamline stocking, while the 2-pole, S1 duty configuration improves throughput and reduces lifecycle risk across pumps, conveyors, and processing lines.

FAQs
Plan for a compatible 3‑phase supply and appropriate drive or starter matching the 2‑pole configuration. Use the 280 frame with a cast iron housing and account for the significant weight (net ~725 kg) during crane lift and foundation design. Ensure adequate cooling and clearance for IP55 protection in typical workshop or outdoor environments.
The model is a 2-pole, 3-phase squirrel cage motor (M3BC designation) with IC411 insulation and IP55 enclosure. It features a 280 frame size, cast iron frame, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting. Duty is S1, ambient temperature up to 40°C, and altitude up to 1000 m, suitable for continuous operation in demanding settings.
Yes. Designed for continuous S1 duty with a robust cast iron frame and IC411 insulation, it supports reliable operation in pumps, conveyors, and processing lines. Users should ensure proper alignment, cooling, and mounting to maximize uptime and minimize vibration-related wear over long production runs.
This motor carries IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, indicating suitability for dusty and damp environments with sturdy insulation performance. It originates from Finland (FI) and conforms to large equipment WEEE considerations. While SIL and CE markings are not stated for this model, the enclosure and insulation specs support compliance in many industrial facilities.
Expect reduced downtime due to rugged construction and high protection, with periodic insulation checks, bearing inspection, and alignment being the primary maintenance activities. The reliable S1 duty, 2-pole design, and cast iron frame contribute to lower lifecycle costs through fewer unscheduled outages and longer service intervals, improving overall return on investment.
