FAQs
ABB 3GFT282712-APB is designed around a 280 frame size with a welded steel enclosure and a D-End top termination box, simplifying wiring and servicing. It runs on a 430 V supply and uses a standard 1 piece minimum order. With a heavy 1770 kg gross weight, ensure your foundation and handling equipment can safely support installation and periodic maintenance.
IE2 efficiency for the 3GFT282712-APB remains high across full and partial loads, with full-load performance near 95.4% at 100% load and even higher partial-load efficiency (up to about 97%). This translates to meaningful energy savings and lower operating costs over the motor’s life, especially in conveyors and automated handling systems.
Yes. The motor is rated for S9 duty, which supports continuous operation with intermittent demand typical of conveyors, presses, and machine tools. Its 430 V supply, IP23 protection, and robust bearings help maintain torque and uptime under typical factory conditions, while the D-End termination and frame compatibility ease drive integration.
Certifications and protections for the ABB 3GFT282712-APB include IP23 enclosure, insulation class ICLH, and IE2 efficiency. The IP rating supports use in indoor industrial environments; insulation class benefits thermal resilience; IE2 aligns with energy regulations. The Finland origin and standard construction simplify compliance for typical installations.
From a maintenance and ROI perspective, the welded steel frame and high-quality bearings (6322/C3) contribute to long service life and reduced lubrication and vibration concerns. The motor’s high efficiency, reliable torque, and compatibility with ABB drives help lower energy costs and downtime, delivering faster payback in automation projects and OEM equipment.
