FAQs
The 3GBL162413-BSC uses a Y connection and is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz systems, matching common VFDs used in industrial drives. Its IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 160 frame size streamline retrofit into existing baselines, minimizing rework. Ensure a proper motor starter or drive parameterization for IE5 efficiency to maximize energy savings.
IE5 efficiency is specified with full-load performance around 94% at 50 Hz and 94.4% at 60 Hz, with 75% and 50% partial-load figures near 94.2% and 93.9% respectively. These figures reflect excellent efficiency across a range of loads, translating to lower running costs in real-world operation.
Yes. The motor is rated for S9 duty, offering robust performance under intermittent, high-torque demands typical of packaging and filling lines. Its SynRM design provides high torque density with efficient operation, while IP55 protection helps maintain uptime in environments with dust or moisture.
The motor features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, with ABB EcoSolutions support and an Environmental Product Declaration for synchronous reluctance motors (7.5 kW–45 kW). These elements aid in compliance with insulation, enclosure, and sustainability criteria across many regions.
The IE5 efficiency reduces energy losses, lowering electricity costs over the motor’s life. The rugged cast-iron frame and maintenance-friendly IMB5/IM3001 mounting minimize downtime and parts wear. Weight and dimensions support stable mounting, while the sealed enclosure helps reduce routine maintenance in harsh environments.
