ABB 3GFT182721-SDB M3FT Dynamic Performance Motor - IP23
Part Number: 3GFT182721-SDB
Quick Summary
ABB 3GFT182721-SDB is a high-dynamic-performance motor built for demanding industrial drive applications. In practice, engineers often struggle with maintaining reliable torque and smooth speed under variable loads and environmental conditions. This motor addresses those challenges with a robust aluminum frame and a 4-pole design, delivering stable performance across operating ranges. It carries IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH, with documented IE Class efficiency data at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, supporting compliant, energy-efficient operation. For system integrators, this means smoother drive integration, predictable maintenance windows, and reduced total cost of ownership, while enabling higher throughput in automation lines. Secondary benefits include compatibility with ABB drives and streamlined spare-part management, which accelerates project timelines and enhances uptime.

FAQs
This motor is designed for 380 V three-phase power and features a 4-pole configuration, which provides strong starting torque and smooth speed regulation for heavy loads. Mounting options include IMB35/IM2001 classes, with an N-end terminator box on the right side. Ensure your VFD or soft starter supports the voltage code D and that the frame size 180 fits your machine footprint.
Key specs include a 380 V operating voltage, 4 poles, and a 50 Hz/60 Hz IE Class efficiency profile. The motor supports S9 continuous duty with robust bearings (6314-2Z) and an aluminum frame (size 180). The IP23 protection class offers adequate ingress protection for indoor environments, while the insulation class ICLH ensures sustained thermal performance under load.
Yes. The IP23 rating provides protection against vertical droplets and moderate dust, suitable for typical indoor production areas. Altitude is listed at up to 1000 meters, and ambient temperature can reach 40 °C, which aligns with standard industrial installations. If your environment exceeds these limits, consider cooling strategies or a higher IP rating, depending on exposure.
The motor specifies IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH, with documented IE Class efficiency data at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. While SIL/CE certifications are not listed in the provided data, the combination of IP rating, insulation, and efficiency data supports compliance in many standard industrial automation deployments and reliable performance in continuous-duty applications.
The 6314-2Z bearings and aluminum frame design offer robust durability with straightforward maintenance and bearings replacement if required. The S9 continuous-duty rating promotes predictable uptime in demanding lines, while IE Class efficiency data supports energy savings over time. For ROI, factor in reduced downtime, easier integration with ABB drives, and longer service intervals in heavy-use applications.
