FAQs
The 3GBC351213-BXG is a 3-phase, 2-pole squirrel cage motor designed for S1 continuous duty. It supports common 3-phase supply configurations and is compatible with ABB drives and control panels, enabling seamless integration into existing plant automation. The IMB5 mounting and 355 frame simplify installation, alignment, and retrofit projects, reducing commissioning time and risk.
Key specifications include a 355 frame size with cast iron construction, IP55 protection, insulation class ICLF (IC416), and a 2-pole configuration. The motor is rated for continuous operation (S1) and is intended for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m. Weight considerations include a net weight of 1625 kg and a gross weight of 1655 kg, reflecting its rugged build.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and dusty indoor applications. The cast iron frame, high-grade insulation (ICLF), and robust mounting (IMB5) support reliable operation in challenging environments such as outdoor facilities, chemical processing, and heavy-duty conveying systems.
The motor is rated IP55 for enclosure protection and features IC416 insulation with ICLF class, supporting thermal resilience. IMB5 mounting ensures standardized installation. The product is designed for continuous S1 operation and is compatible with ABB control systems, aligning with typical EU manufacturing and safety expectations for industrial motors.
The cast iron frame and robust IMB5 mounting reduce structural fatigue and misalignment over time, lowering maintenance intervals. IP55 protection minimizes enclosure-related servicing, while the durable insulation supports long service life in elevated temperature environments. Overall, the motor offers predictable uptime, compatibility with ABB drives, and a strong total cost of ownership profile for continuous-duty applications.
