IE3 efficiency class delivers tangible energy savings across pumps, fans, and conveyors, reducing operating costs and cooling load in continuous-duty applications. The calculated full-load efficiency of 94.2% and solid partial-load performance (around 94.6% at 75%) translate to meaningful cost reductions over life cycle while maintaining thermal headroom for variable-speed drives. This is complemented by robust cast-iron construction and precision bearings that extend service life in vibration-prone environments, lowering maintenance frequency and spare part usage. Explosion protection is a defining advantage in hazardous zones, with Ex protection Exec and Gas Group IIC ensuring compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements and enabling safer installations in chemical, oil, and mining sites. IP55 protection protects against dust ingress and water splash, supporting reliable operation in dusty plants and outdoor facilities. The 225 frame, D-End top terminator box, and IMB5 IM3001 classification simplify installation, maintenance, and retrofits, while the option of a non-sparking IE3 motor reduces the risk of ignition in explosive atmospheres. Together with a durable 6213-2Z/C3 bearing set and 6210-2Z/C3 NDE bearings, this motor delivers predictable performance with low total cost of ownership. Industry-standard dimensions and mounting footprints ensure compatibility with existing ABB and M2GAX family components, accelerating installation and spare-part substitution while maintaining compliance with IP55 requirements and operating limits up to 50 °C and 1000 m altitude. For OEMs and maintenance teams, this translates into fewer surprises, faster change-outs, and a safer, more energy-efficient drive solution.

FAQs
The 3GGA222220-BDDIN uses a standard 225 frame, cast-iron construction and a D-End top terminator box, aligning with ABB M2GAX mounting footprints. It supports a 3-phase supply with voltage code D and 4-pole design. For clean, vibration-free operation, ensure proper shaft alignment and secure mounting, while leveraging IP55 protection and IE3 efficiency to meet system performance targets.
This motor delivers IE3 efficiency with Full Load around 94.2%, and Partial Loads near 94.6% at 75% load and 94.3% at 50% load. It is a 4-pole design with a 225 frame in a cast-iron enclosure, rated for ambient up to 50°C and altitude up to 1000 m. It also features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation for reliable operation in tough environments.
Yes. The unit carries Ex protection status (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, making it appropriate for hazardous areas. It also includes IP55 ingress protection and non-sparking IE3-capable construction, enabling safe operation in chemical, oil, and mining applications while meeting ATEX/IECEx compliance expectations.
Key bearings are 6213-2Z/C3 and 6210-2Z/C3, supporting low-friction operation and extended service life. The IM class is IMB5 IM3001, with a D-End top terminator box for easier wiring. Regular checks should focus on bearing wear, lubrication intervals per operating conditions, and ensuring the 225 frame remains properly fastened to maintain vibration and thermal performance.
Ideal for hazardous-process pump, fan, and compressor duties in chemical, mining, and oil & gas sectors. IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs, while robust protection minimizes downtime. The rugged cast-iron frame and sealed bearings provide long service life in tough environments, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership through longer maintenance intervals and safer, compliant operation.
