IE5 efficiency and Ex ec SynRM technology deliver tangible business outcomes by cutting energy usage and enabling safer operation in hazardous zones. The motor’s high efficiency translates directly into lower operating costs over the life of the equipment, particularly in constant-speed drives common in pumps and fans. In practice, installers benefit from straightforward Y-configuration wiring and standard 400 V 50 Hz supply, facilitating rapid commissioning and reduced electrical stress on downstream drives. The IP55 enclosure, combined with an ambient rating up to 40 °C and insulation class ICLF, supports reliable operation in dusty or humid environments with minimal maintenance. Cast iron frame size 225 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting options simplify retrofits and new installations alike, ensuring compatibility with existing ABB drives. Addressing common objections, the Ex protection and gas group IIC rating provide compliance confidence for hazardous-area projects while maintaining robust mechanical durability.

FAQs
This model is designed for straightforward deployment with ABB control architectures, using a Y connection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Frame size 225 and 4-pole configuration align with common drive systems. Its 400 V, 50 Hz supply supports typical industrial NEC/IEC installations, reducing wiring changes and commissioning time while preserving drive performance and protection features.
The motor delivers 45 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, with 4 poles and an IE5 efficiency class. It operates with Ex ec protection for hazardous areas, IP55 enclosure, and a Y connection. The 3-phase design supports reliable, high-torque startup, while the ICFL insulation class and cast-iron frame provide durability in demanding environments.
Yes. The 3GGL222227-BSC includes Ex protection (Exec) and a Gas Group IIC rating, making it appropriate for hazardous zones. Combined with IP55 and robust mechanical construction, it delivers safe operation in challenging environments like chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities while maintaining performance and reliability.
IE5 efficiency reduces running energy costs over the motor’s life, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. The motor’s durable cast-iron frame, reliable bearings, and low-maintenance design minimize downtime and replacement costs. Environmental credentials such as EPD support sustainability reporting and compliance with procurement standards.
Leverage ABB mounting and service guidelines for IMB5/IM3001 configurations and ensure proper cooling and enclosure integrity for IP55-rated operation. Bearings specified as 6313/C3 and 6212/C3 enable predictable lubrication cycles. Regular inspections of the terminator box location (D-End top) and wiring checks during routine maintenance help sustain peak efficiency and extend service life.
