FAQs
Install the motor with a Y-configuration on a 690 V supply, ensuring the mounting aligns with IMB3/IM1001 standards. Verify ambient temperature stays near 40 °C and altitude within 1000 m. Use proper protective enclosures (IP55) and allow for adequate space for cooling. Ensure terminal connections follow ABB guidelines for safe startup and commissioning, minimizing vibration and electrical interference.
The 3GBL162417-AUC is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation and features a 4-pole synchronous reluctance design with a Y connection, making it well-suited for vector or V/Hz drive controls. It aligns with IEC standards for IE5 efficiency and integrates with ABB drive ecosystems, delivering smooth speed control, reduced harmonics, and reliable startup with standard motor protection features.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and moisture, and the Cast Iron frame with IC411 insulation supports durability under demanding conditions. Combined with IMB3 mounting, this motor is well suited for conveyors and pumps in production environments where reliability and uptime are critical.
Key standards include IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation. The product also features IMB3 IM1001 mounting and is designed for 50 Hz operation with 690 V input. The motor is aligned with Euro‑industrial practices and supports energy‑efficient drive systems for compliant installations in regulated sectors.
ROI depends on load profile, but benefits come from lower energy consumption due to IE5 efficiency (full-load efficiency around 93.6%), reduced heat generation, and longer maintenance intervals thanks to a rugged Cast Iron frame and IP55 enclosure. For continuous conveyors or pumps, the energy savings can translate to meaningful payback within months to a few years, depending on duty cycle and electricity costs.
