IE5 efficiency translates into meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications. With 90 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, the motor minimizes electrical losses and heat, improving overall plant reliability and reducing cooling load on drive systems. This translates to lower life-cycle costs in manufacturing lines and process equipment that operate around the clock. IP55 protection combined with a cast-iron frame provides dependable operation in demanding environments. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation on existing base frames or equipment like pumps and fans, reducing commissioning time and enabling tighter integration with ABB drives and control systems. Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC readiness mean safe use in hazardous areas, eliminating the need for heavy external enclosures in chemical plants and oil/gas facilities. The Y connection, 4-pole configuration, and robust bearings support high-torque starts and steady performance on variable-speed drives. Sustainability is reinforced by ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous-reluctance motors, assisting with regulatory compliance and corporate responsibility. The motor’s robust design also supports long service intervals and reliable operation in vibration-prone equipment, contributing to reduced maintenance costs and improved uptime in critical production lines.

FAQs
The 3GGL252237-BSC is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a 4-pole configuration and Y connection. It uses 400 V, 50 Hz operation and IP55 protection, matching standard industrial drives and ABB control systems. Ensure mounting surface supports a 250 frame and verify clearance for maintenance access and cooling, especially in high-temperature environments up to 40 °C.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 90 kW output with IE5 efficiency. Electrical performance data shows Full Load efficiency around 96.4% and partial-load figures: 75% load about 95.9% and 50% load around 95.0%. This translates to reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs in continuous-drive applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The M3GL IE5 SynRM motor features Ex ec protection suitable for hazardous areas, with Gas Group IIC classification. It integrates Ex protection directly into the motor design, supporting safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining without additional enclosures. Ensure compliance with local hazardous-area regulations and verify installation per IMB5/IM3001 mounting standards.
The motor uses a 250 frame with a cast-iron enclosure and nominal weight around 454 kg (net). It features IP55 protection, bearings 6315/C3 with a 6213/C3 NDE, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. It operates at 400 V, 50 Hz with a duty class S9 and can be mounted in positions supporting 4-pole operation while accommodating up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient conditions.
ABB EcoSolutions are included for increased environmental responsibility, and the motor is supported by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous-reluctance motors.
