FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection and is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz power; its IMB5 IM3001 mounting footprint supports straightforward panel or floor mounting. Ensure the drive system and protective enclosure are matched to IP55 standards, with correct wiring for the Y configuration and proper alignment with existing terminal boxes. Pre-check the 1000 m altitude rating and ambient temperature of 40 C to verify cooling adequacy and torque response during commissioning.
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 55 kW with IE5 class efficiency. Full-load performance reaches about 96.4 percent efficiency, with partial-load figures near 96.0 to 95.2 percent depending on load. This translates to meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty equipment such as conveyors and pumps, reducing running costs and cooling load without compromising torque or control performance.
Yes. The 3GGL252217-BSC includes Ex protection with exec classification suitable for hazardous areas and a gas group rating of IIC. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for production floors where dust, humidity, or occasional washdowns occur. Always verify local hazardous-area standards and ensure proper installation of the protective housing and wiring methods for classified locations.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency class, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and Ex ec explosion protection for hazardous environments. The motor is designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a 250 frame size and 4 poles. It also aligns with ABB EcoSolutions and includes an Environmental Product Declaration for synchronous reluctance motors, supporting sustainability reporting and compliance workflows.
The Sync Reluctance motor combines high efficiency with low rotor losses, reducing energy costs and cooling requirements over long production runs. Maintenance benefits come from robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting and durable bearings (6315/C3 with NDE 6213/C3) suited for continuous operation. Expect improved uptime, lower energy bills, and easier retrofits in existing automation lines, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership in modern plants.
