ABB 3GGA164410-BDDIN 3-Phase squirrel cage motor - IE3 IP55
Part Number: 3GGA164410-BDDIN
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGA164410-BDDIN is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor used for robust, energy-efficient drives in manufacturing and processing plants. Many buyers struggle with selecting motors that tolerate high ambient temperatures, altitude, and demanding installation spaces. This motor meets IP55, IE3 efficiency, and IC411 insulation, with EX protection and gas group IIC for safe operation. It delivers reliable performance across a wide operating envelope, including ambient up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, while maintaining smooth starts with an 8-pole design. For business value, it reduces energy costs, minimizes downtime, and simplifies procurement with a cast-iron frame and standardized mounting. Designed for compatibility with common ABB drive ecosystems, it also facilitates streamlined sourcing from a single supplier and supports easy installation on 160 frame equipment.

IE3 efficiency is at the core of this motor, delivering Full Load efficiency around 84.5% at 100% load and strong partial-load performance. Business impact: lower energy bills and improved compliance with energy regulations across extended run times. Application: ideal for continuous-duty equipment such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in processing plants where energy costs are a primary concern. Cast iron frame and 160 frame size provide durability in tough environments. Business impact: extended service intervals and resistance to vibration and impact, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Application: suitable for rough shop floors, mining belts, and water-management systems where rugged construction matters. IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and ambient-rated 50 °C at up to 1000 m altitude ensure reliable operation in harsh sites. Business impact: enhanced safety, fewer enclosure handling issues, and easier compliance with industrial standards. Application: chemical plants, oil & gas support, and outdoor installations where environmental exposure is a concern. EX protection Exec and gas group IIC enable operation in hazardous zones with appropriate safeguards. Business impact: expanded application scope and safer installation by design. Application: process industries requiring explosion protection and non-sparking IE3 performance in cast iron motors. Box and terminals: D-End top termination, IM class IMB5/IM3001, and a 160 frame with 8 poles offer straightforward mounting and compatibility. Business impact: faster commissioning, reduced spare parts inventory, and easier retrofits in existing ABB ecosystems. Application: replacement motors and new installations across industrial automation and packaging lines. Additional notes cover two-speed option not supported, continuous duty (S1), voltage code D, and overall suitability for rugged industrial environments.

FAQs
This motor uses a D-End top terminator box, 160 frame, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and a 6209-2Z/C3 bearing set. Plan for IP55 protection, ambient up to 50 °C, altitude up to 1000 m, and voltage code D. Ensure compatible ABB drives and correct shaft alignment for 8-pole, 160 frame equipment.
IE3 classification provides full-load efficiency around 84.5% at 100% load, with 83.5–84.5% across partial loads. In continuous service, this translates to meaningful energy savings compared with lower-efficiency designs, particularly in pumps and fans with variable loads, improving total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
Yes, it carries EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, with IP55 enclosure and non-sparking IE3 motor design. This enables safer operation in zones with gas hazards when installed per applicable standards and with appropriate protective measures.
Leverage the heavy-duty cast-iron frame and standard bearings (6209-2Z/C3) for durable operation. Regular lubrication schedules, inspection of the terminator box location (D-End top), and periodic checks of insulation (IC411) help sustain reliability in demanding environments.
Best suited for continuous-duty (S1) applications in process industry equipment such as conveyors, pumps, mixers, and fans, especially where rugged construction, IP55 protection, and IEC IE3 efficiency are required in environments up to 50 °C and 1000 m altitude.
