The motor achieves IE5 efficiency, translating into measurable energy savings on continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps, reducing operating costs and carbon footprint while maintaining reliable torque. The Ex ec protection and IIC gas group certification enable safe use in hazardous environments, simplifying compliance and reducing the need for separate protection infrastructure. IP55 enclosure and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify installation in harsh plants, enabling quick integration with existing ABB drives and control systems at 500 V, 50 Hz with Y configuration for balanced startup. Cast iron frame (225) with a 4-pole design delivers robust mechanical integrity, while IC411 insulation and T3 temperature class support sustained operation at ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude. The product’s documented EPD and EcoSolutions status reinforce sustainability goals and lifecycle thinking for modernization projects in sectors like chemical, steel, and mining.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a Y connection, suitable for standard industrial housings. Ensure ambient temperature up to 40 °C, altitude up to 1000 m, and IP55 protection. Plan for 500 V 50 Hz supply and proper alignment of the 225 frame with compatible couplings and drives. Verify enclosure room and cable routing to maintain protection class and accessibility for service.
The unit delivers 45 kW output, 4 poles, 500 V input (470 V operational), 50 Hz, with IE5 efficiency. It is a 3-phase synchronous reluctance motor designed for Ex ec protection, IP55 enclosure, and a nominal speed suitable for heavy-duty S9 duty. It supports IC411 insulation with T3 insulation class and is designed for balanced Y configuration.
Yes. The motor includes Ex ec explosion protection and Gas Group IIC, enabling safe operation in hazardous zones. This makes it appropriate for chemical, oil & gas, and other industrial environments where safety classifications require intrinsic protective measures, while still delivering high efficiency and robust performance.
Synchronous reluctance motors like the 3GGL222233-AFC typically offer lower current and reduced heat generation at load, contributing to longer bearing life and less cooling effort. The robust cast iron frame and quality bearings (6313/C3 and 6212/C3) support extended service intervals. The 45 kW rating with IP55 and Ex protection reduces the need for frequent protective relays and shielded cabling in harsh environments, while the documented EPD and EcoSolutions support sustainability goals.
Choosing the 3GGL222233-AFC yields energy savings through IE5 efficiency, lower maintenance due to rugged construction, and hazard-area compliance that reduces installation complexity and downtime. Its documented mounting compatibility (IMB3/IM1001) and standard 3-phase 500 V supply simplify integration with existing drives, supporting faster project timelines and long-term operating cost reductions.
