FAQs
The ABB 3GFT162712-SDB uses a 160 frame with aluminum construction and bearing 6312-2Z, designed for IMB35 IM2001 mounting classes. Install with the terminator box location at the N-End right side to simplify cable routing. Ensure adequate ventilation for ambient temperatures up to 40 C and respect the 1000 m altitude limit. Verify the shaft alignment and ensure compatible couplings to minimize vibration and wear, reducing maintenance cycles and extending bearing life.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers Full Load efficiency around 90.3% with 75% and 50% load values near 90.9% and 91.0% respectively, while at 60 Hz Full Load efficiency is about 91.5% with 75% and 50% loads around 92.0% and 91.7%. The motor is a 4-pole unit rated for 375 V operation, designed for S9 duty and single-speed operation, making it suitable for steady, continuous operation in process and material handling applications.
Yes, the 3GFT162712-SDB is specified for operation up to 1000 meters altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 C, ensuring reliable performance in typical manufacturing floors and plants. Its IP23 protection helps guard against incidental moisture and dust ingress, while the insulation class IC LH accommodates heat in moderate environments. For extreme conditions, consult engineering support to evaluate cooling and enclosure options.
The motor features an IP23 ingress protection rating and IC LH insulation, supporting safe operation in general industrial environments. It is designed for 4-pole operation with a 375 V supply and a duty class of S9, ensuring reliable, continuous operation. The N-End right side terminator box simplifies wiring, and the aluminum frame provides durable, lightweight construction appropriate for conversion or retrofit projects.
The M3FT based 3GFT162712-SDB offers energy-efficient performance with IE Class data around 90%+, translating to reduced energy consumption over its service life. The aluminum frame and 6312-2Z bearings support longer maintenance intervals, while the single-speed, non-two-speed design minimizes control system complexity. These factors collectively lower lifecycle costs and improve uptime for conveyors, pumps, and fans in continuous operation.
