ABB 3GGA182420-BDCIN 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55
Part Number: 3GGA182420-BDCIN
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGA182420-BDCIN is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor for hazardous industrial environments. Operators often wrestle with energy costs, reliability, and regulatory compliance in hazardous locations. This motor delivers IE2 efficiency, IP55 protection, and intrinsic explosion protection (Gas Group IIC) for safer, cost-effective operation. Ideal for heavy-duty industrial motors and cast-iron designs, it reduces maintenance and energy use while meeting IC411 and IE2 standards. With a 180 frame and cast iron housing, it supports rugged environments and is reversible with D-End top terminator box. Its IMB5 mounting and 4-pole design simplify integration into conveyors, pumps, and mixers. The enclosure delivers IP55 and IC411 insulation, supporting operation up to 50 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude.

Feature: IE2 efficiency rating is at the core of energy-cost reduction. Business Impact: Lower electrical input during full-load operation translates to measurable ongoing savings and reduced heat, improving overall plant efficiency. Application: ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans in continuous-duty lines where energy consumption drives total cost of ownership. Feature: Cast iron frame and IP55 protection provide rugged durability. Business Impact: extended service intervals, lower maintenance, and safer operation in dusty or wet environments. Application: outdoor installations, chemical plants, and heavy industrial floors where water ingress and contamination are concerns. Feature: EX protection and Gas Group IIC rating enable safe use in hazardous zones. Business Impact: enable compliance with safety standards and reduce the risk of ignition in flammable atmospheres. Application: chemical processing, oil and gas refining, mining, and other hazardous processes. Feature: IC411 insulation with ambient 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m supports heat and altitude resilience. Business Impact: reliable operation in hot plants and elevated locations, reducing derating concerns. Application: desert plants, refineries, and offshore-like installations where ambient heat is high. Feature: Reversible rotation and IMB5 mounting along with a D-End top terminator box simplify installation and serviceability. Business Impact: faster commissioning, easier wiring, and reduced downtime during maintenance. Application: conveyors, mixers, and pumping stations that require flexible alignment and quick field servicing. Feature: 4-pole, single-speed S1 duty ensures steady performance in continuous-process environments. Business Impact: predictable torque and speed profiles, minimizing process variation and improving control. Application: load-handling conveyors, fans, and pumps in continuous operation.

FAQs
This model uses a 180 frame with IMB5 mounting and a D-End top terminator box, designed for straightforward field installation. Its reversible rotation supports flexible alignment in conveyors, pumps, and fans, while the 1-piece MOQ makes stocking predictable. Expect simple wiring, standard fasteners, and quick commissioning in new or retrofit projects.
The motor adheres to IE2 efficiency with Full Load (100%) efficiency around 91.6%, Partial Load at 75% about 92.2%, and 50% approximately 91.2%. This ensures consistent torque delivery and energy-conscious operation across varying process demands, ideal for continuous-duty fans, pumps, and conveyors.
Yes. The motor features EX protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC rating and IP55 protection, suitable for hazardous locations. Combined with IC411 insulation and 50 °C ambient capability, it supports compliant operation in chemical, oil & gas, and mining settings while maintaining safe, reliable performance.
Key considerations include the D-End top terminator box design for easy cable entry, 180 frame size for robust mounting, IMB5 IM3001 class mounting for flexibility, and a heavy-duty cast-iron housing that reduces vibration. The bearings (6210-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3) support longevity, while reversible rotation simplifies alignment during commissioning.
ROIs are driven by IE2 energy efficiency, reducing electricity consumption in continuous-service processes. Durability from a cast-iron frame and IP55 protection lowers maintenance and downtime, while explosion protection minimizes safety-related risks. In practice, users see faster payback when upgrading aging IE1 or non-Ex motors in hazardous installations.
