ABB 3GGA164420-ADDIN Squirrel Cage Motor - IE3 Cast Iron

Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1) IE3 efficiency rating coupled with Full Load 86.2% efficiency helps reduce energy consumption across duty cycles, lowering operating costs for continuous process drives such as pumps and fans. Application: industrial fluid handling and ventilation systems where energy performance directly affects OPEX. 2) IP55 protection and IC411 insulation provide reliable operation in dusty or damp environments, minimizing unplanned downtime and facilitating outdoor or semi-enclosed installations. Application: material handling and processing lines in mills or warehouses with exposure to moisture. 3) Cast Iron frame (160) with bearings 6209-2Z/C3 and IMB3 IM1001 classification offers torsional rigidity and long life under vibration, reducing maintenance intervals. Application: heavy loads on conveyors, mixers, and gear-driven systems in steel and chemical sectors. 4) Ex-protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC suitability enable safer operation in potentially explosive atmospheres where non-sparking equipment is required. Application: hazardous-area applications in petrochemical and processing plants, subject to local regulatory compliance. 5) D-End top terminator box and 8-pole design support straightforward wiring and stable torque profiles, simplifying retrofit and new installations. Application: rebuilds and new line drives requiring quick wiring and predictable performance. 6) 160 frame size and 160ML series naming indicate compatibility with standard mounting footprints and common couplings, easing replacement projects. Application: retrofits and replacements in legacy systems without extensive mechanical adaptation.
