IE2 efficiency and large-kW output deliver tangible energy savings in continuous-duty applications, reducing operating costs and thermal load. The business impact is lower energy bills and improved motor reliability, particularly for pumps, fans, and conveyors operating under steady loads. The cast iron frame, 400 mm size, and bearing arrangement (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) provide robust mechanical strength and vibration resistance, extending service life in demanding environments such as material handling and process lines. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation enable reliable operation in dusty, humid, or hot factory floors, decreasing unplanned downtime and maintenance intervals. The two-speed motor option, combined with a 6-pole configuration, allows load matching to process demands, reducing electrical stress and energy use during start-up and variable-speed operation. Installation benefits come from IMB3 mounting, a top-terminator box, and compatibility with standard 400 frame footprints, easing retrofits and minimizing integration risk. These features translate to measurable outcomes in efficiency-driven projects and plant-wide reliability improvements, especially when replacing legacy IE2 motors on high-load drives.

FAQs
The ABB 3GBP408546-ADG uses a 400 frame, IMB3 mounting, and a top-terminator box, aligning with common European motor footprints. Its top-entry termination simplifies wiring in restricted spaces, and its 1 pallet packaging supports safer, crane-assisted handling given the net weight of about 3.4 metric tons. Ensure electrical supply matches Voltage Code D and that the drive controls accommodate 400 kW, 6-pole operation, and the motor’s S1 duty profile.
Key specs include 400 kW output, 3-phase squirrel cage design, IE2 efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a 6-pole high-speed configuration with a dual-speed option. The motor is rated for up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperature, ensuring reliable operation in typical industrial environments and variable-load applications.
Yes. The combination of IE2 efficiency, robust cast iron construction, IP55 enclosure, and dual-speed capability makes it well-suited for pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. Its durable bearings and IMB3 mounting support long service life under continuous operation, while the 6-pole design provides solid torque characteristics for demanding startup and load-change scenarios.
This motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, which are standard indicators of reliability in harsh environments. It also uses a robust IMB3 IM1001 mounting class and an industry-trusted 3-phase IE2 efficiency profile. While CE or SIL markings aren’t explicitly listed, the enclosure, insulation, and mounting configurations align with common industrial certification expectations for heavy-duty IE2 motors.
Energy savings from IE2 efficiency and reduced thermal loading contribute to a favorable return on investment, especially in continuous-duty drives. The cast iron frame and bearing set (6324/C3, 6319/C3) support long intervals between maintenance while maintaining performance. Regular lubrication checks, bearing inspections, and alignment verification are typically sufficient, with the motor’s rugged build helping minimize unplanned downtime in process-critical lines.
