FAQs
Plan for a three-phase Y connection and ensure mounting on IMB5/IM3001 with the D-End top terminator box. The unit weighs about 454 kg (net) and fits a 250 frame size with cast-iron construction. Verify ambient conditions (up to 40 °C, 1000 m) and use appropriate cable sizing for 500 V service. Ensure compliance with IP55 enclosure and Ex protection requirements in hazardous zones.
The motor delivers 90 kW at 4 poles, with a 500 V input and 50 Hz frequency. It is IE5 efficient, has IP55 protection, and uses a Y connection. Insulation is Class IC LF, operating voltage is 470 V, and it is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Duty is S9, and the frame size is 250 with a 454 kg net weight.
Yes. The 3GGL252237-BFC features EX protection (Exec), Gas Group IIC, and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous areas in industries such as chemical processing and mining. Proper installation per IEC/EN standards and site risk assessments remain essential, but the motor is designed to meet stringent safety requirements for explosive atmospheres.
IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption and heat generation, contributing to cooler operation and longer bearing life. The SynRM design also minimizes rotor losses, which lowers cooling duty and can extend service intervals. Combined with robust mechanicals like cast-iron frames and durable bearings, this supports lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
Minimum order quantity is 1 piece with no made-to-order requirement. The unit is origin Finland (FI) and ships under customs tariff 85015381. It uses a 3GGL designation with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, 3-phase operation, 500 V supply, and 50 Hz, aligning with standard ABB motor ecosystems and facilitating retrofit into existing ABB drive setups.
