ABB 3GGA163420-BDCIN 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55 IE2
Part Number: 3GGA163420-BDCIN
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGA163420-BDCIN is a robust 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for continuous industrial drives. This model addresses downtime and energy costs by combining a durable cast iron frame with IP55 protection, IE2 efficiency, and IC411 insulation, enabling reliable operation in harsh environments. With a 50 °C ambient limit and 1000 m altitude, it supports consistent performance where harsh conditions prevail. Built for lifecycle reliability, it is compatible with standard ABB drive systems and offers straightforward installation thanks to a D-End top terminator box and IMB5 IM3001 mounting classes. These features support maintenance predictability and steady throughput across pumps, fans, and conveyors.

FAQs
This model features a Cast Iron Frame Size 160 with IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and a D-End top termination box, supporting common industrial baseplates and standard ABB drive assemblies. It is designed for straightforward alignment and reliable coupling with typical belt, pulley, or direct-drive configurations.
The motor is a 3-phase machine with IE2 efficiency, voltage code D, IP55 protection, and insulation class ICLF. It operates under a 50 °C ambient temperature and up to 1000 m altitude, with full-load efficiency around 88.7% and partial-load values near 89% at 50 Hz, supporting energy-efficient operation.
Yes. The motor includes EX-Protection with Gas Group IIC, meeting safety requirements for certain hazardous environments. However, suitability must be verified against local codes and site-specific ATEX/IECEx classifications and installation guidelines before deployment.
Ideal for continuous-duty drives in pumps, fans, and conveyors across manufacturing, mining, and processing facilities. The IP55 and IC411 insulation support reliable operation in dusty or warm environments, while the cast iron frame and 6-pole design deliver solid torque for demanding load profiles.
Plan for standard ABB maintenance cycles with attention to bearing health (6209-2Z/C3), and inspect the D-End top terminator box for moisture ingress. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and robust housing reduce vibration and wear, contributing to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership.
