Feature → Business Impact → Application: The M3GL 280SMC 4 design delivers 110 kW of output power at 380 V with a four-pole configuration in a frame size 280, enabling compact yet powerful drives for line equipment and process machinery. This translates into lower energy cost and improved plant throughput, particularly on conveyors and pump trains that demand steady torque across varying loads. The IE5 efficiency class, backed by measured full-load efficiency of 96.5% and high partial-load performance (96.4% at 75%), reduces operating expenses and heat generation, extending equipment life and reducing cooling requirements in packaged systems. Application-wise, this motor pairs well with standard VFDs for demanding applications such as metal processing lines and automation packages that require high precision and low total cost of ownership. Compatibility with IP55 protection and IMB5/IM3001 mounting enables outdoor or harsh-environment setup with minimal enclosure concerns. The EX protection (Exec) and gas group IIC certification support safe operation in hazardous zones, making it suitable for chemical plants and oil & gas environments where regulatory compliance is critical. In terms of installation, the 380 V, 50 Hz supply is standard in industrial facilities, and the D connection configuration simplifies wiring with existing control gear, reducing commissioning time and risk. Bearings (6316/C3) and mechanical design (Cast Iron frame) contribute to long service life and predictable maintenance windows, while the IM class (IMB5 IM3001) assures dependable mounting and alignment. The motor’s substantial mass (net 697 kg, gross 717 kg) reflects its robust construction and vibration resistance, supporting high-load operation with minimal downtime.

FAQs
This motor uses a 380 V, 50 Hz supply and a D connection configuration, which aligns with most standard industrial drives. It features IMB5/IM3001 mounting and IP55 protection for rugged environments. Verify mounting clearance, ensure proper foundation, and connect to a compatible VFD or control cabinet using standard shielded cables to optimize torque control and protection.
Key specs include 110 kW output, 4-pole design, frame size 280, 380 V input, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IE5 efficiency. It is rated for operation at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, with a maximum speed governed by its frequency drive and load profile. Duty is S9, suitable for continuous heavy-duty service with reliable protection.
Yes. The 3GGL282233-BRC is EX-protected (Exec) with Gas Group IIC, supporting ATEX/IECEx compliance. This enables safe deployment in hazardous zones, provided all installation and commissioning adhere to the relevant codes and local regulations. Always confirm site classification and ensure certified accessories and enclosure ratings are used.
IE5 indicates top-tier efficiency for the 110 kW motor, with measured full-load efficiency around 96.5% and favorable partial-load performance (96.4% at 75%, 95.4% at 50%). In practice, this reduces motor-driven energy consumption, lowers cooling requirements, and decreases life-cycle costs, especially in variable-load processes common to packaging lines, conveyors, and pumps.
Plan for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a robust foundation due to the motor mass (net 697 kg, gross 717 kg). Expect IP55 protection for dust and water ingress, and consider ambient temperature and altitude limits (40 °C, 1000 m). Bearings are 6316/C3 with VL0241 NDE, signaling a focus on reliable life and predictable maintenance intervals. Align and balance during installation, and follow OEM guidance for coupling and drive integration.
