FAQs
The 3GBL162417-BDC uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a cast iron frame size 160 with a 4-pole configuration and D connection. Install on a rigid base with adequate clearance for cooling, wiring, and the terminal box located at the D-end top. Operate at 400 V, 50 Hz, up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient to maintain IP55.
Key specs include 11 kW output, 4 poles, 400 V input, 50 Hz, IP55 protection, IE5 efficiency with full-load around 93.6%, and partial-load values of 93.2% at 75% and 91.8% at 50%. It features IC411 insulation, frame 160, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting for robust industrial duty and reliable long-term operation.
Yes. The IP55-rated enclosure is designed for damp and dusty industrial settings. Combined with IP55, 400 V 50 Hz operation, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, the motor maintains sealing integrity even during maintenance. Ensure proper cable gland seals and enclosure integrity during servicing to preserve performance in challenging environments.
The motor carries IE5 efficiency, IC411 insulation, and IP55 protection. It originates from Finland and aligns with ABB EcoSolutions and EPD declarations for environmental transparency. A tariff code 85015230 supports customs compliance, while the Environmental Product Declaration statements aid sustainability reporting across markets.
IE5 SynRM motors deliver substantial energy savings over older IE categories by reducing losses across full and partial loads; the 11 kW model shows high efficiency at full load (93.6%) and favorable partial-load performance (93.2% at 75%, 91.8% at 50%). Lower energy consumption, reduced cooling needs, and longer bearing life contribute to a favorable return on investment.
