Efficiency and energy savings translate to measurable cost reductions in continuous operation environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The motor’s IE5 efficiency rating reduces input power for the same mechanical output, delivering lower energy bills and cooler operation in conveyors and pumps. It supports long-term operational savings and smaller cooling loads in light-industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ex ec explosion-protected design enhances safety for hazardous atmospheres, enabling use in chemical processing or pharmaceutical lines without compromising productivity. Application-wise it reduces risk while meeting regulatory requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure and robust cast iron frame offer rugged reliability in dusty or humid plants, minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. This makes it ideal for IMB3/IM1001 mounting in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, 50 Hz operation with 500 V input aligns with standard industrial power systems, enabling straightforward integration with existing drives and soft-start strategies, improving commissioning timelines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The motor’s S9 duty class and IC411 insulation support continuous operation with controlled thermal rise, extending service life in demanding cycles often encountered in pumps, fans, and agitators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Bearing arrangement (6316/C3) and robust mounting options reduce vibration and maintenance, delivering smoother performance in high-load applications and improving process stability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Energy and safety certifications, including IE5 and IP55, provide compliance confidence for audits and customer requirements, facilitating procurement and supplier qualification.

FAQs
The 3GGL282212-AEC is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminator box location, matching standard frame 280 dimensions and a 4-pole, 50 Hz, 500 V system. This alignment simplifies replacement and integration with existing ABB drives and control platforms, reducing commissioning time and compatibility risk.
IE5 efficiency lowers input energy for the same output, delivering tangible operating cost reductions. Ex ec protection provides enhanced safety in potentially explosive atmospheres, enabling compliant operation in hazardous areas without sacrificing performance or uptime.
Yes. The motor is rated for S9 duty, with an insulation class of ICLF and an ambient temperature up to 40 °C, supporting sustained loading patterns common in pumps, fans, and conveyors while maintaining thermal stability and reliability.
IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress in harsh sites, while a 40 °C ambient rating informs cooling design and service intervals. Ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation around the frame 280 motor, and verify compliance with IMB3/IM1001 mounting standards for safe installation.
The combination of IE5 efficiency, reduced cooling needs, and robust bearing configuration (6316/C3) lowers energy consumption and maintenance costs. While ROI depends on load profile, users typically experience faster payback through energy savings, fewer unscheduled downtimes, and longer intervals between major overhauls.
