ABB 3GFT282731-APB High dynamic performance motors - IP23

The 3GFT282731-APB merges high dynamic torque with a robust 280 frame, delivering fast acceleration and smooth speed control for packaging lines and material handling. By operating at 430 V with a 33.8 Hz characteristic and a 4-pole configuration, it reduces cycle times and improves line throughput while maintaining predictable current draw. The welded steel frame and IMB3 IM1001 mounting, supported by 6322/C3 bearings, minimize vibration and misalignment, extending bearing life in heavy-duty applications. IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH enable reliable operation across typical factory floors and canopy-protected outdoor spaces, withstanding dust and thermal swings common in industrial environments. The motor supports operation up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, broadening site applicability and simplifying procurement for mixed assets. Energy efficiency aligns with IE Class data, reaching about 94.4% full-load at 50 Hz, contributing to tangible energy savings in continuous-drive lines. The D-End top terminator box with convenient wiring routes accelerates commissioning and reduces installation risk. In practice, this ABB motor supports straightforward integration with ABB drives, lower lifecycle costs, and consistent performance across motor-driven systems. Operators benefit from predictable start-up torque and reduced current spikes when paired with soft starters or VFDs, easing electrical design. Compatibility with standard 400–480 VAC drives, combined with a compact, heavy-duty housing, lowers engineering risk and accelerates project timelines. Maintenance teams appreciate robust bearings and a sealed enclosure, translating to fewer unplanned outages and longer mean time between failures. The BOM alignment with common European components further streamlines parts sourcing and service planning for mid- to large-scale automation projects.
