FAQs
The 3GGL312233-ARC uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a 315 frame, designed to fit standard ABB drive systems and common retrofit kits. With a D connection configuration and a D-end top terminator, you can expect straightforward alignment to existing foundations, reduced mechanical adaptation, and faster commissioning in new installations or upgrades.
At 380 V and 50 Hz, the motor delivers 160 kW of output with IE5 efficiency, ensuring Full Load performance near 96.8% efficiency. The 4-pole design provides robust starting torque and stable operation under S9 duty, making it suitable for continuous heavy-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors in demanding plants.
Yes. The 3GGL312233-ARC features Ex ec explosion protection and IP55 ingress protection, along with IC411 insulation and Gas Group IIC ratings, enabling safe operation in hazardous environments such as chemical plants and metal processing facilities. This combination supports regulatory compliance and plant safety initiatives.
ROI is driven by the IE5 efficiency gains, reduced heat load, and lower maintenance needs from premium insulation and enclosure protection. With a 160 kW rating and reliable SynRM performance, operators typically see lower energy bills, fewer unplanned outages, and easier compliance reporting, optimizing total cost of ownership over the motor’s service life.
