FAQs
ABB 3GGL312233-BRC uses a Delta (D) connection configuration and is rated for 380 V, 50 Hz input. This aligns with standard European industrial infrastructure and supports straightforward integration with most VFDs. Proper terminal wiring and the D connection enable reliable current distribution at full-load while preserving the IP55 enclosure integrity.
Yes. The 3GGL312233-BRC features Ex protection (Exec) and an IP55 enclosure, designed for hazardous environments. It also supports gas group IIC classifications, making it appropriate for industries such as chemical processing and oil & gas where compliance with hazardous-area safety standards is essential and where motor protection is critical for uptime.
The motor delivers IE5 efficiency with full-load performance of 96.8% as indicated for 50 Hz operation at 380 V. This high efficiency persists across partial loads (75% and 50%), ensuring consistent energy savings and reliable torque delivery for critical processes such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in continuous operation.
This motor uses a frame size 315 cast-iron housing with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and bearings 6319/C3 with NDE 6316/C3VL0241. The terminator box is located at D-End top, supporting straightforward wiring and service access. Net weight is 965 kg with a gross weight of 985 kg, so crane and foundation planning should account for this mass.
