ABB M3FT 315B 4 High Dynamic Motors - IP23 IE2
Part Number: 3GFT312722-AUB
Quick Summary
ABB M3FT 315B 4 high dynamic performance motors are engineered for demanding drives in heavy machinery and process lines. Upgrading industrial motors can spike maintenance costs and complicate integration with existing drives. These motors deliver solid IE2 efficiency, IP23 protection, and robust insulation (ICLH), supporting reliable operation in tough environments. Their 640 V rating, altitude up to 1000 m, and 40 °C ambient capability simplify installs across multi-site facilities. Built to ABB’s HDP family standards, they offer consistent performance with easy spare-part compatibility, reduced energy bills, and lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and maintenance teams.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: High dynamic performance (HDP) design provides strong start-up torque and rapid speed response, reducing cycle times on conveyors, presses, and forming lines. This enables tighter process control and improved throughput in metalworking and packaging environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE2 efficiency (full-load approximately 95.5%) delivers meaningful energy savings on continuous-duty lines, lowering operating costs for OEMs and end users while supporting regulatory compliance for energy reporting. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP23 protection and IC LH insulation enhance reliability in dusty, warm plants, reducing unplanned downtime and extending service intervals in mining, plastics, and food-processing facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 640 V operation with a 315 frame and 4-pole build ensures compatibility with existing ABB HDP drives and standard VFDs, simplifying installation and spare-parts planning in multi-site plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Robust bearings (6326M/C3 and 6322/C3VL0241) and IMB3 IM1001 enclosure support long service life under S9 duty, minimizing maintenance costs in continuous production lines like steel mills and paper mills. Feature → Business Impact → Application: D-End top terminal box and compact frame accommodate easy wiring harness routing and retrofits within tight electrical spaces, improving installation efficiency in retrofits and new builds alike.

FAQs
The ABB M3FT 315B 4 is designed around the standard 315 frame with a 4-pole rotor and a 640 V three-phase supply. It is compatible with ABB HDP drives and most common VFDs, enabling straightforward retrofits and new installs. The D-End top terminal box supports convenient wiring layouts, simplifying control wiring in compact electrical rooms and retrofit projects.
Under IE2 efficiency (full-load around 95.5%), the motor delivers reliable energy savings on continuous-duty applications. IP23 protection offers robust resistance to dust and light water exposure in typical factory floor environments. Combined with 4-pole, 315 frame design and S9 duty, this results in dependable operation for conveyors, mixers, and other heavy-load drives.
Yes. The M3FT 315B 4 is rated for up to 1000 m altitude and an ambient temperature of 40 °C, with insulation class ICLH and IC06 characteristics that support operation in demanding environments. This makes it a strong candidate for multi-site facilities where ambient conditions vary and reliability is critical.
Key certifications and classifications include IP23 protection, IE2 efficiency, IC LH insulation, and EN/IEC-aligned duty and mounting standards (IMB3 IM1001). The WEEE category is 4 (Large Equipment), and the UNSPSC code is 26101100. Compliance with these standards helps streamline safety approvals, energy reporting, and end-of-life handling.
ROI improves through energy savings from IE2 efficiency and reduced downtime due to robust HDP design and durable bearings (6326M/C3, 6322/C3VL0241). The motor’s frame compatibility, top-terminal wiring, and IM class allow easier spares management and faster maintenance turns, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle in demanding production lines.
