FAQs
The 3GGL312833-AEC is designed for straightforward integration with standard ABB motor drives and wiring schemes. It uses a D connection configuration and operates on 500 V at 50 Hz, enabling seamless replacement or upgrade within existing control architectures. For optimal performance, pair with ABB frequency converters that support IE5-class motors and synchronous reluctance control.
Maintenance focuses on bearing health, insulation integrity, and enclosure condition. The motor uses 6319/C3 bearings and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with IC411 insulation and IP55 enclosure. Regular checks should include enclosure seals, cooling paths, and cable terminations. Adhering to these checks helps sustain high efficiency and reduces unplanned downtime in demanding environments.
Yes. The motor is designed with IP55 protection and Ex ec hazardous-area certification, supporting safe operation in explosion-risk zones. It is specified for ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 meters, with gas group IIC and IE5 efficiency, making it suitable for challenging sites in chemical, metals, and mining industries.
The 3GGL312833-AEC uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a D-End top termination box location, offering flexible installation in tight spaces. The Cast Iron frame size 315 and 315 mm length support robust, vibration-resistant mounting on standard plant floors or equipment bases, simplifying retrofits and ensuring stable alignment with existing drives.
Upgrading to IE5 SynRM yields measurable energy savings across continuous-load operations due to reduced electrical losses and improved heat management. Combined with lower cooling requirements and extended maintenance intervals, you can achieve a shorter payback in processes like pumps and conveyors. The exact ROI depends on load profiles, duty cycle, and the current motor standard in use.
