Non-sparking design reduces ignition risk in hazardous zones, improving site safety and lowering incident-related downtime and investigations. This translates to fewer disruptive outages and a safer workforce, especially in chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas facilities where explosive atmospheres are a constant concern. IE2 efficiency numbers—Full Load 90.3%, Partial Load 75% at 90.7%, and 50% at 90.0%—drive measurable energy reductions across pumps, fans, and conveyors, lowering operating costs and easing cooling loads in dense plant footprints. IP55 enclosure and a rugged cast iron frame deliver reliable operation amid dust, water exposure, and vibration; the 160 frame size and bearings 6209-2Z/C3 support long service intervals and reduced maintenance. Installation and retrofit are simplified by a D-End top terminator box location and a standard IMB3 IM1001 mounting class, enabling quick, repeatable deployments across facilities. With a temperature class of T3 and ambient rating up to 50 °C, this motor maintains performance in hot plants and high-altitude sites, while Ex protection (Gas Group IIC) and 1 piece MOQ streamline compliance and procurement for safety-critical projects.

FAQs
When installing this motor in hazardous zones, ensure Ex-rated enclosures and proper wiring with the D-End top terminator box location to simplify retrofits. Use compatible mounting (IMB3 IM1001) and confirm the 160 frame size fits the available space. Verify power supply matches Voltage Code D and adhere to IP55 protection for dust and water ingress prevention. Ensure rotation direction requirements are met and perform a startup test in a controlled environment.
This motor is IE2 rated with Full Load efficiency around 90.3%, and partial-load performance of 90.7% at 75% load and 90.0% at 50% load. It runs as a 2-pole machine with a 160 frame, Voltage Code D, and a continuous S1 duty class. Operating ambient limits reach 50 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m, with an IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation.
Yes. The ABB 3GGA161420-ADCIN features Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, making it suitable for hazardous locations. Its non-sparking design further minimizes ignition risk, while the IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation support safe operation in explosive atmospheres such as mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities.
A cast iron frame provides exceptional rigidity and vibration damping, enhancing reliability in harsh environments. Bearings specified as 6209-2Z/C3 support long service intervals with good protection against dust and moisture. The IMB3 IM1001 mounting class and top-end terminator box location simplify servicing and alignment, reducing downtime during inspections and belt or coupling changes.
The IE2 efficiency reduces energy consumption for continuous-duty applications, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life. The non-sparking design reduces ignition risk, potentially lowering incident-related costs and downtime. Durable cast iron construction and robust bearings extend service intervals, while Ex protection ensures compliance in hazardous zones, contributing to safer operations and predictable maintenance budgets.
