ABB 3GFT282712-ADB Motors & Drives HD 4-Pole IP23
Part Number: 3GFT282712-ADB
Quick Summary
ABB 3GFT282712-ADB high dynamic performance motors deliver precise, high-torque drive for heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and processing lines. Operators often face downtime and energy waste when motor performance falls short of demand. This model addresses those challenges with IP23 protection, IE2 efficiency, and rugged bearings designed for 370 V operation up to 1000 m altitude. The result is improved reliability, reduced maintenance, and lower running costs. By integrating a welded steel frame, 4-pole design, and compatibility with standard ABB drive ecosystems, it fits easily into new installations and retrofit projects. For manufacturers seeking consistent productivity and safer, compliant equipment, these motors support scalable automation while lowering total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Install the 3GFT282712-ADB motor using standard ABB mounting patterns for 280 frame size, ensuring the terminal box is positioned for top access (D-End top). Verify 370 V supply, correct protection class IP23 wiring, and adequate cooling. Use supplied NDE bearing guidance (6316/C3VL0241) to align shafts and minimize vibration during start-up.
The motor meets IE2 efficiency standards at 50 Hz, providing Full Load efficiency around 95.4%. This figure helps estimate energy usage under nominal load, with even higher efficiency at partial loads (75% and 50%). The IE2 rating supports regulatory compliance and reduced lifecycle cost in continuous-operation applications.
Yes. The motor is specified as 4-pole and intended for S9 duty, which means it is designed for continuous, heavy-duty operation with intermittent demanding loads. This makes it well-suited for conveyors, mixers, and packaging lines where sustained torque and reliability are critical.
Key certifications include IP23 protection, IE2 efficiency, and insulation class ICLH with IC06 enclosure considerations. These ratings align with common industrial safety and energy standards, simplifying regulatory compliance for installations in food, packaging, and manufacturing environments. The enclosure and insulation ensure safer operation in elevated temperatures and dusty conditions typical of many plants.
Expect longer bearing life from 6322/C3 with NDE 6316/C3VL0241, reduced downtime due to IP23 protection, and energy savings from IE2 efficiency. Combined with robust frame and mounting compatibility, the motor lowers total cost of ownership by decreasing maintenance intervals, extending service life, and enabling smoother integration with existing ABB drive systems for faster project ROI.
