ABB 3GGL312833-BUC 3Phase Synchronous reluctance motor - IE5 Ex ec SynRM
Part Number: 3GGL312833-BUC
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGL312833-BUC is a 315 kW, 690 V three-phase synchronous reluctance motor designed for demanding industrial applications, including hazardous environments. This motor delivers IE5 efficiency with reliable performance under full-load and partial-load conditions, helping reduce energy costs and emissions. A key challenge in heavy-duty drives is maintaining safety and reliability in potentially explosive areas; the Ex ec protection and IP55 enclosure address this by enabling safer operation across a wide range of facilities. With Finland origin and ABB engineering support, it aligns with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a robust cast-iron frame. In addition to high efficiency, it performs at 50 Hz, withstands ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, and supports a compact, serviceable motor-driven system for modern plants.

FAQs
The motor is configured for a Y (star) connection. When wiring, ensure correct terminal block alignment, proper torque on all leads, and protection against overvoltages. For startup, verify motor voltage matches the supply (690 V line), perform a pre-check of protective devices, and use soft-start/ VFD control to minimize inrush while confirming impedance continuity.
Key specs include 315 kW output, 690 V nominal input, 50 Hz frequency, 4-pole configuration, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency class. The motor uses a Y connection, has Ex ec explosion protection, and is designed for S9 duty with a 1000 m altitude limit and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
Yes. The ABB 3GGL312833-BUC features Ex ec explosion protection and IIC gas group suitability, with an IP55 enclosure for protective integrity in hazardous areas. It is designed for reliable operation in safe, regulated environments requiring compliance with explosion-protection standards and high-efficiency performance (IE5).
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a cast-iron frame (Frame Size 315) and bearings 6319/C3. It supports a ready-to-mate installation with 315 mm frame, standard horizontal/vertical alignment, and a D-End top terminator box location for convenient wiring access and serviceability.
SynRM IE5 motors deliver superior energy efficiency, lowering operating costs in continuous and heavy-load applications. They reduce heat generation, extend service intervals, and improve regulatory compliance in hazardous environments. For manufacturers, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved process reliability in demanding production lines.
