FAQs
This motor uses a 160 frame with a cast-iron body and IMB5 IM3001 class, offering straightforward mounting on standard IEC bases. It supports common variable frequency drives (VFDs) and reversible rotation, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike while maintaining alignment with ABB automation ecosystems.
The motor is IE2 efficient and features IP55 protection with IC411 insulation, enabling reliable operation in up to 50 °C ambient temperatures. It runs as a 2-pole, 3-phase machine designed for continuous S1 duty, suitable for conveyors, pumps, and other constant-load applications in harsh environments.
Yes. The 3GGA161420-BDCIN includes Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC certification, making it appropriate for certain hazardous-area tasks. Combined with IP55 and IC411 insulation, it meets stringent safety and performance standards expected in chemical plants and mining operations.
Expect IP55 dust and water protection, IC411 insulation, IE2 efficiency, and Ex-protection for hazardous locations (Gas Group IIC). The motor also features a cast-iron frame, 2 poles, and S1 continuous duty, aligning with IEC standards for robust industrial use.
With a 6209-2Z/C3 bearing set and a rugged cast-iron frame, maintenance intervals are extended due to reduced wear and vibration. The IE2 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s life, contributing to faster ROIs in continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps in demanding facilities.
