IE5 efficiency and synchronous reluctance topology are the core feature, delivering real energy savings under full-load and partial-load conditions. The business impact is lower energy bills over the motor’s life and reduced heat generation in drive systems. This makes the motor especially attractive for pumps, fans, and conveyors in automation lines where efficiency directly affects operating margins. Protective features IP55 and IC411 insulation extend uptime by shielding the windings and bearings from dust and moisture in challenging environments. The business impact is fewer unplanned outages and longer service intervals. In practice, this translates to more reliable operation in manufacturing cells, packaging lines, and outdoor equipment. Mechanical robustness comes from a cast iron frame, 160 mm frame size, and 4 poles, providing rigidity and steady torque. The business impact is reduced vibration, lower bearing wear, and longer service life. This suits IMB3/IM1001 mounting schemes used in conveyor drives and machine tool feeds. Y-connected 400 V, 50 Hz input and compatibility with standard controls simplify installation and integration with existing power systems. The business impact is faster commissioning, lower wiring errors, and easier retrofits. Applications include automation panels, soft-starts, and variable-speed drive configurations in mid-sized plants. Durability features like 6309/C3 bearings, NDE 6209/C3, a 40 °C ambient rating, and up to 1000 m altitude support long-term performance in varied geographies. The business impact is reduced maintenance costs and predictable performance for global deployments. This makes the motor a practical choice for multinational facilities with diverse climate zones. Additional design considerations, including IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and frame 160 suitability, help standardize spare parts and service processes. The business impact is faster repair cycles and lower total cost of ownership, reinforcing the case for replacing older efficiency motors with IE5 SynRM solutions.

FAQs
The ABB 3GBL162417-ASC uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a Y connection with a 400 V 50 Hz supply. This combination simplifies retrofits by aligning with common industrial frames and standard control architecture, reducing wiring changes and enabling straightforward integration with existing VFDs and control panels.
Yes. This motor is classified IE5, the highest efficiency tier for IE classes in its category. On 50 Hz operation, full-load efficiency reaches 93.6%, with strong performance at partial loads, delivering meaningful energy savings on continuous-duty pumps, fans, and conveyors when paired with appropriate drive strategies.
Ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors across manufacturing and packaging lines, especially where energy efficiency and reliable operation are critical. The motor’s IP55 enclosure, frame size 160, 4-pole design, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting make it suitable for machines that endure dusty environments or require robust, space-conscious drives.
Key protections include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, with a cast-iron frame supporting IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The motor is designed for demanding environments and includes bearing arrangements 6309/C3 and 6209/C3 for enhanced durability, making it fit for industrial automation applications and varied climates.
Plan for a 400 V, 50 Hz supply and Y connection in a frame 160, mounted IMB3/IM1001. Ensure ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes to 1000 m. Use compatible VFDs and protection devices to maximize efficiency, and schedule periodic bearing checks (6309/C3, 6209/C3) to sustain uptime in global sites.
