FAQs
The motor uses a D-terminal connection and is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-End top terminal box location. It’s a 4-pole machine built around a 315 frame and 500 V supply. This combination supports straightforward retrofits in existing ABB automation setups and minimizes changes to surrounding drive hardware and cabling.
Key specs at 50 Hz include 160 kW output, 4 poles, input voltage 500 V, operating voltage around 470 V, and a frequency of 50 Hz. The motor is rated IP55 with IE5 efficiency, insulation class ICLF, and a duty type S9, making it suitable for continuous, heavy-duty industrial drives in standard distribution systems.
Yes. The 3GGL312233-AEC features Ex ec explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, along with a Gas Group IIC rating. These protections help ensure safe operation in hazardous areas such as chemical plants and mining environments, meeting common industrial safety standards while maintaining reliable performance in challenging conditions.
IE5 efficiency correlates with reduced energy consumption, especially at part-load and variable-speed operation, contributing to lower operating costs. With full-load efficiency around 97.1% at 50 Hz, plants can realize meaningful energy savings on frequent motor starts and long-running drives, improving return on investment when paired with existing ABB drive ecosystems and optimized maintenance schedules.
Durability stems from a cast-iron frame, 315 size, and IP55 protection, designed for 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. IMB3 mounting and D-end top termination simplify service access and future upgrades, while Ex protection and robust insulation help maintain performance in demanding environments, reducing unplanned downtime and extending service intervals.
