FAQs
This motor uses a 400 V, 50 Hz 3-phase supply with a Y configuration and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. It fits standard frame size 160 and is designed to retrofit smoothly with ABB drives and control panels, minimizing wiring changes and enabling quick commissioning in conveyors and pumps.
The unit delivers 7.5 kW at 400 V with a 4-pole configuration. IE5 efficiency class is specified for full-load and partial-load conditions, and the IP55 enclosure supports protection against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The motor uses IC411 insulation class and an IP55-rated enclosure, which together support reliable operation at elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and in locations with limited airflow, ensuring long-term performance in harsh settings.
This model replaces 3GBL162106-ASC and is designed for a smooth upgrade path. You’ll benefit from consistent mechanical interfaces and electrical compatibility, which simplifies part sourcing and spare-parts management while keeping performance aligned with ABB’s SynRM standards.
IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption at full and part-load, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life. For continuous-duty lines like conveyors and pumps, the savings compound with uptime gains, reduced cooling load, and longer service intervals, supporting a favorable ROI over standard IE-rated motors.
