ABB 3GBL162412-HSC 3-Phase SynRM Motor - IE5 Efficiency
Part Number: 3GBL162412-HSC
Quick Summary
ABB 3GBL162412-HSC is a high-efficiency 7.5 kW 3-Phase SynRM motor for demanding industrial drives and automation applications. Engineers often struggle with energy waste and excessive heat in continuous-duty conveyors, pumps, and fans, which drives operating costs higher and shortens equipment life. This motor delivers IE5 efficiency with robust IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, and its 4-pole, frame 160 design fits compact spaces while withstanding harsh environments. The Y configuration simplifies electrical wiring, enabling faster installations and reliable motor control when paired with VFDs. By combining advanced magnetic design with durable cast iron construction, ABB supports lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime across industrial processes.

FAQs
For retrofits, ensure a 400 V power supply at 50 Hz with a Y connection, align the motor to the existing mounting footprint (frame 160, IMB35/IM2001), and position the terminator box per D-End top guidance. The IP55 enclosure and cast iron frame support rugged environments, while the 4-pole design suits standard VFD control.
IE5 efficiency delivers high full-load performance with typical full-load efficiencies around 93% or higher. At 50 Hz, IE5 data shows ~93.1% at 100% load and ~93.5% at 75% load; at 60 Hz, ~93.9% at 100% load and ~93.8% at 75% load. Expect reduced energy consumption across mixed-load operations.
Yes. The motor uses an IP55 enclosure and a rugged cast iron frame, rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. This combination supports outdoor installations, dusty plants, and hot processing environments while maintaining reliability.
Ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries. The 7.5 kW, frame 160 design with Y wiring and S9 duty makes it suitable for continuous and duty-cycle dependent processes, delivering energy efficiency and reliable operation in medium-load, single or multiple-drive configurations.
SynRM motors provide lower copper and core losses, contributing to cooler operation and reduced cooling demands. The robust bearings (6309/C3) and IMB35/IM2001 mounting minimize wear and simplify servicing. This translates to longer mean time between failures, reduced maintenance costs, and better lifecycle economics in demanding plants.
