ABB 3GGL312813-BUC Motors - Increased Safety IE5 Ex ec SynRM
Part Number: 3GGL312813-BUC
Quick Summary
3GGL312813-BUC synchronous reluctance motor enables high-efficiency drives for heavy-industrial equipment. This ABB design targets reliable operation in demanding environments with 690 V, 50 Hz, and a 250 kW output. Today’s engineers must balance energy costs, safety compliance, and uptime; this motor addresses those challenges by delivering IE5 efficiency and Ex ec protection in a rugged IP55 enclosure. The combination of 4-pole performance, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and a cast-iron frame supports long service life in confined spaces. The compact 315 frame also simplifies retrofit workflows, reduces installation time, and minimizes total cost of ownership while maintaining global standards and compatibility with standard drives.

Feature: High-efficiency IE5 synchronous reluctance design delivers superior motor efficiency across full and partial loads. Business impact: Reduced energy consumption translates to measurable operating cost savings and a lower carbon footprint, especially for continuous-duty applications. Application: ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in process industries where energy cost is a major driver and variable loads are common. Feature: Ex ec explosion protection and IP55 enclosure provide robust safety for hazardous zones. Business impact: Compliance with challenging standards minimizes risk, lowers insurance exposure, and enables installation in mining, chemical, and oil & gas environments. Application: suited for equipment located in zones where flammable atmospheres exist, without sacrificing performance or access to service. Feature: 4-pole frame size 315 in a cast-iron housing with IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Business impact: Durability and vibration resistance extend service life in demanding installations, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime. Application: retrofits and new builds requiring sturdy mounting options and long-life bearing arrangements. Feature: Y connection, 690 V, 50 Hz operation with altitude up to 1000 m and ambient 40 C. Business impact: Flexible integration with existing electrical systems and robust performance in standard environmental conditions, reducing design complexity and commissioning time. Application: general purpose drives in industrial automation, packaging, and metalworking. Feature: Comprehensive data package including IE5 performance metrics (Full Load 97.0%), IP55, IC411 insulation, and IMB5 IM3001 compatibility. Business impact: Transparent specifications simplify procurement, enable accurate life-cycle economics, and support regulator-aligned maintenance planning. Objection handling: even in retrofit projects, the 315-frame, mounting compatibility, and 690-V rating ensure seamless integration.

FAQs
To install, confirm supply is 690 V and set the winding to Y configuration per ABB installation guidelines. Mount the unit using IMB5/IM3001 on a compatible frame 315 structure, ensure IP55 enclosure seals are intact, and connect per the drive manufacturer’s controls. Verify proper cooling and clearance, then perform a plant-safe commissioning run with protective devices engaged.
The motor delivers IE5 efficiency with Full Load at 97.0% and high efficiency across partial loads (75% and 50%). This translates into tangible energy savings during continuous operation, reducing electricity costs and cooling requirements. In applications like pumps or conveyors with variable loads, expected savings compound over the motor’s life, improving total cost of ownership.
Yes. The motor features Ex ec explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous zones common in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments. Pair it with appropriate control gear and a certified drive system, and ensure compliance with local regulations. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting also supports secure installation in constrained spaces.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency, Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. The unit is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation, with a 315 frame and 4 poles. WEEE categorization and Finland origin (FI) are noted, supporting regulatory and sustainability reporting across global operations.
Energy savings from IE5 efficiency reduce annual operating costs, especially in continuous-duty roles. The robust cast-iron frame and bearing arrangement (6319/C3 with IMB5/IM3001) lower maintenance needs and downtime. While upfront costs may be higher for explosion-protected variants, lifecycle economics improve with longer service life, reduced repairs, and easier retrofits in industrial facilities.
