FAQs
The 3GGL282222-BDC uses a 400 V, 50 Hz supply with a D connection configuration, aligning with standard industrial motor drive architectures. It supports seamless integration into existing electrical rooms and control cabinets, and the IMB5/IM3001 mounting scheme simplifies mechanical retrofits or new installations. When planning upgrades, confirm cable sizes and circuit protection to maintain IEC/EN compliance and optimal motor protection.
IE5 denotes the highest efficiency class for mechanical motors, with Full Load efficiency around 96% and excellent partial-load performance (e.g., ~95.9% at 75% load, ~95.3% at 50%). For 55 kW, 400 V operation, this translates to lower energy costs, reduced heat rejection, and improved overall drive efficiency in applications like pumps and fans operating under variable loads.
Yes. The ABB 3GGL282222-BDC features Ex ec explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous areas such as chemical plants and offshore facilities. Its IC411 insulation class and robust enclosure support safe operation, while the IP55 rating provides protection against dust and water ingress. Always verify local standards and installation conditions for compliance.
The motor’s 4-pole synchronous reluctance design, cast-iron frame, and bearings (6316/C3, with NDE 6316/C3VL0241) deliver high reliability under continuous S9 duty. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting, combined with a compact frame (280) and solid mechanical construction, reduces vibration, lowers maintenance frequency, and extends mean time between failures in conveyors, mixers, and similar industrial drives.
With IE5 efficiency, Ex ec protection, and a durable IP55 design, operating costs drop due to reduced energy consumption and cooling needs, while downtime is minimized through rugged construction. The product’s EPD and EcoSolutions alignment assist in sustainability reporting, and the Finland-origin manufacturing adds traceability and supply chain reliability for procurement teams pursuing responsible procurement and lifecycle cost optimization.
