ABB 3GGA162490-BDCIN 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55
Part Number: 3GGA162490-BDCIN
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGA162490-BDCIN is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for rugged industrial duty in pumps, fans, and conveyors. In demanding environments, operators face uptime gaps, moisture ingress, and energy waste that erode productivity. This motor delivers protections and efficiency that matter—IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and IE2 energy efficiency—while a cast-iron frame provides lasting durability. The result is safer, more reliable operation with lower running costs, and smoother integration with common VFDs and control architectures. For manufacturers seeking steady performance across heavy-duty applications, this solution aligns with established standards and delivers measurable business value.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection and IC411 insulation reduce dust intrusion and moisture exposure, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending motor life in dusty or humid environments such as print shops or food processing lines. This protection, combined with IE2 efficiency, yields tangible energy savings on continuous-duty loads like conveyors, fans, and pumps. Feature → Cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6209-2Z/C3) improve rigidity and bearing life, lowering maintenance costs on high-vibration equipment such as bulk material handling systems and mixing duties. Feature → 4-pole, IMB5 IM3001 mounting with D-End top terminator box simplifies installation and service, enabling quick swapping and straightforward wiring in retrofit projects across existing plant floors. Feature → Ambient tolerance up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m supports outdoor or semi-enclosed installations in moderate climates, reducing site-specific equipment variants. Feature → Non-sparking/bezel-friendly design per IGA2 classification and Ex protection context improves safety in hazardous or flammable environments, expanding application reach to small-scale hazardous duty lines without overhauling controls. These attributes collectively drive reliability, energy efficiency, and lifecycle cost reductions in diverse industrial settings.

FAQs
The motor uses a robust IMB5 IM3001 mounting arrangement and a D-End top terminator box to simplify wiring and service. It is compatible with common VFDs and drive systems, easing retrofit projects and ensuring clean integration into existing control architectures. Ensure you follow enclosure and ambient-temperature guidelines (50 °C max) and use correct anti-vibration mounting to maximize bearing life.
This is an IE2-class, 4-pole motor designed for standard continuous duty (S1). Electrical data specifies Full Load performance at 100% load with efficiency around 89.3% and partial-load figures near 89.8% (75% load) and 88.0% (50% load), supporting energy savings in sustained operation while maintaining stable torque delivery.
Yes, the product type indicates non-sparking IE2 capability (IGA2_-_M2GAX_Non-sparking_IE2_cast_iron_motor) with Ex protection context (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, allowing use in certain hazardous environments when installed per applicable standards and safety procedures.
Key certifications and standards include IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, IE2 efficiency, and Ex-related safety provisions (Exec) with Gas Group IIC. The motor also features a rugged cast-iron frame (160) and a 4-pole configuration suitable for continuous-duty applications in industrial plants.
The heavy-duty cast-iron frame and sealed bearings (6209-2Z/C3) reduce maintenance frequency and extend service life in high-vibration environments. IE2 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s life, while IP55 protection minimizes downtime due to dust and moisture. These factors collectively shorten payback periods for upgrade or retrofit projects.
