ABB 3GBC311431-BXG - 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor, IP55
Part Number: 3GBC311431-BXG
Quick Summary
ABB 3GBC311431-BXG is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for demanding industrial drives. Engineers often struggle to find a robust, standard motor that fits existing frames, withstands dusty environments, and delivers long-term reliability in harsh plants. This model combines IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IMB5 mounting with a cast-iron frame for rugged service. Designed for continuous S1 duty at a 315 frame with two poles and a 40 °C ambient limit up to 1000 m, it aligns with ABB drive systems and maintains spare-part availability to reduce downtime and total cost of ownership. The result is predictable performance and a clear path to safer, more efficient automation outcomes.

FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GBC311431-BXG, ensure a compatible 315 frame mounting with IMB5 IM3001 class support. Use proper mounting hardware, verify alignment with driven equipment, and account for a 40 °C ambient limit at up to 1000 m. The IP55 rating helps with washdown environments, but electrical connections should be protected from moisture and dust during panel installation.
IP55 protection minimizes ingress of dust and water, reducing winding short circuits and corrosion risk in dusty plants. IC411 insulation provides a robust insulation system for continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures, maintaining winding integrity and efficiency. Together, they support longer motor life and lower maintenance in harsh manufacturing settings.
Yes. The motor is rated for S1 continuous duty with a two-pole design, ensuring consistent speed and torque for conveyors and pump applications. The 315 frame and cast-iron construction deliver the rigidity and thermal handling needed for sustained operation, while the standard footprint aids drop-in replacement and straightforward integration with existing ABB drives and control systems.
Key specifications include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and IMB5 IM3001 mounting. The design supports reliable operation in demanding environments, with a Finland-origin cast-iron frame. While CE marking is common, always verify local compliance requirements; the motor’s core certifications ensure suitability for heavy industry applications such as conveyors, pumps, and mixers.
Expect improved uptime due to robust IP55 protection and durable IC411 insulation, reducing fault-related downtime. The cast-iron frame and solid mounting support long service life with less vibration, lowering maintenance costs. A standard 1 piece MOQ and compatibility with ABB drives streamline procurement and commissioning, delivering faster project ROI and reduced total cost of ownership.
