FAQs
Install the 3GGL222233-BFC with a Y (star) connection in a 500 V, 50 Hz system. Use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting and ensure the D-End top terminator box location is accessible. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water, while the IE5 efficiency reduces energy losses during long runs. Confirm ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude under 1000 m to preserve performance.
IE5 efficiency delivers lower energy consumption at full and partial loads, improving total cost of ownership. Ex ec protection ensures safe operation in hazardous zones, reducing risk of ignition and downtime. Together with IP55, the motor maintains reliability and compliance across regulated facilities, from chemical processing to oil & gas pipelines.
Yes, the motor is designed for hazardous environments with Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC classification, meeting stringent safety standards. It also carries IP55 protection and IE5 energy efficiency, aligning with international standards for industrial motors used in demanding sectors. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting further supports compliant integration with control systems in these settings.
The motor is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and is designed to integrate with ABB drives and motion control architectures.
