ABB 3GGL282222-AEC delivers measurable value through a clear pattern of features, business impact, and application fit. The IE5 efficiency class reduces operating costs across continuous loads, enabling substantial energy savings in pumps, conveyors, and fans while lowering cooling requirements. Its IP55 enclosure and Ex protection (Exec) provide resilient performance in hazardous environments, reducing maintenance interruptions and enhancing operator safety in plants with exposure to dust, moisture, or explosive atmospheres. The 4-pole, 55 kW output at 500 V with a 50 Hz rating supports reliable, scalable drives for mid to large-scale systems, minimizing equipment crowding and improving line productivity. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and a cast-iron frame (Frame Size 280) simplify installation and long-term service life, reducing total cost of ownership. Integration with D-connection configurations and a broad operating envelope further lowers engineering risk and commissioning time. This SynRM motor is a future-ready choice for energy-conscious manufacturers seeking compliance, performance, and durability.

FAQs
Plan for a 280 frame with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and the D connection. Ensure a four-pole, 3-phase supply at 500 V, with a motor voltage of 470 V, and operate at 50 Hz. Mount on a rigid base, connect the terminator box at the D-End top, and follow site safety procedures. Verify ambient conditions and cooling to maintain IP55 performance.
Yes. The motor includes Ex protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous environments. Ensure compliance with applicable ATEX/IECEx requirements and verify the site ambient temperature and altitude meet the motor’s 40 C and 1000 m limits, along with duty cycle S9 for your process.
Key ratings include 55 kW output at 50 Hz, 500 V input, and 470 V motor voltage. It uses a 4-pole configuration with IP55 and ICFL insulation, Temperature Class T3, and IC411 insulation class. It operates in up to 40 C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, with a defined S9 duty cycle for steady, rugged operation.
It delivers IE5 efficiency, minimizing losses at full and partial loads, which lowers overall energy consumption. The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) covers synchronous reluctance motors from 55 kW to 315 kW, and WEEE category 4 indicates proper end-of-life handling. Combined with ABB EcoSolutions alignment, it supports sustainability targets and lifecycle cost reductions.
ROI is driven by significant energy Savings from high IE5 efficiency, reduced cooling needs, and longer service intervals due to robust cast-iron construction. IP55 and Ex protection reduce maintenance downtime in hazardous environments, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-connection simplify installation and future upgrades, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.
