ABB 3GGL312813-AEC Synchronous Reluctance Motor - IE5
Part Number: 3GGL312813-AEC
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGL312813-AEC Synchronous Reluctance Motor is a high-efficiency drive solution for industrial pumps, fans, and conveyors in demanding environments. Many buyers struggle to balance energy costs, reliability, and hazardous-area compliance in a single motor solution. This ABB model combines top-tier IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, and Ex safety ratings to meet industrial duty. With frame size 315 and 250 kW output at 500 V / 50 Hz, it integrates smoothly into existing 3-phase networks. The result is lower energy use, improved uptime, and simpler regulatory compliance across challenging applications. It supports hazardous-area installations with Ex protection and Gas Group IIC, plus robust IP55 enclosure for dusty or humid environments. In practice, engineers rely on its 315 frame, 4-pole design, and 470 V operation to maintain steady torque and predictable performance.
