ABB 3GFT162716-SDB High dynamic performance motors - IP23
Part Number: 3GFT162716-SDB
Quick Summary
ABB 3GFT162716-SDB high dynamic performance motors are designed for demanding industrial drives and process automation. Many installations struggle with motor efficiency, heat buildup, and unplanned downtime under continuous operation. This motor delivers reliable performance through a robust insulation system and carefully balanced efficiency ratings, while IP23 protection adds resilience in typical plant environments. With insulation class ICLH and IE1-rated efficiency at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, it provides predictable energy use across duty cycles. By combining a rugged aluminum frame, a 160 frame size, and a four-pole design, it reduces vibration and maintenance while supporting easy integration with standard ABB drives. For procurement teams, this translates to lower lifecycle costs and smoother commissioning on upgrades and new lines.

FAQs
Install the motor in a compatible 160 frame base with proper alignment to minimize vibration. Ensure a 370 V supply and check installation constraints: altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature around 40 °C. Use appropriate couplings and a base plate, and route wiring to the N-End right side terminal box for straightforward electrical connections. Verify bearing accessibility (6312-2Z) and mount torque per OEM guidelines to maintain reliability.
This model is explicitly marketed as a high dynamic performance motor, featuring a 4-pole design and robust IE1 efficiency metrics at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The aluminum frame and IP23 protection support rapid torque response with reliable operation in typical plant environments, while maintaining energy efficiency and reduced system heat generation on conveyors, pumps, and packaging lines.
It is designed for steady-state S9 duty with a 370 V supply and can be integrated with appropriate variable frequency drives that match the voltage and insulation ratings. For speed control, choose a drive compatible with the motor’s 370 V rating and consult ABB documentation for wiring and safety clearances. Ensure cooling and protective features align with the chosen drive configuration.
Key standards include IP23 ingress protection and insulation class ICLH, supporting reliability in indoor, non-harsh environments. The motor is rated IE1 for energy efficiency across 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Additional considerations include WEEE category 4 and country of origin Finland (FI), which influence compliance and end-of-life handling in industrial installations.
The 6312-2Z bearings, aluminum frame, and robust construction reduce downtime and maintenance needs, improving mean time between failures. IE1 efficiency lowers energy costs, while durable components lower replacement frequency. For ROI, expect lower lifecycle costs and faster commissioning when upgrading lines or installing new packaging or conveyor systems.
