Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 3GGP313830-BDM delivers 160 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, enabling high-torque operation for pumps and compressors while maintaining energy efficiency (IE4). This translates to measurable energy savings and lower operating costs in continuous S1 duty cycles, especially in process industries where reliability matters. Application-wise, the motor’s IP55 enclosure and IC ICF insulation support long service life in dusty or humid environments, reducing maintenance downtime and extending mean time between failures. The Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC rating provide safe operation in hazardous zones, enabling direct integration into chemical and oil & gas plants without additional protective enclosures. The D connection configuration and six-pole design simplify wiring and control integration, accelerating installation timelines and reducing field wiring errors. With IMB5 IM3001 mounting, serviceability is improved, allowing quick alignment and replacement with minimal downtime. These features collectively drive a lower total cost of ownership, improved uptime, and increased line efficiency for industrial drives.

FAQs
Installers should plan for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and D-type connection wiring. The 6-pole configuration supports standard 3-phasel drives, and the IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress. Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting to minimize vibration, and verify ambient temperature does not exceed 40 C for optimal performance.
This is a 160 kW, 6-pole motor designed for 400 V at 50 Hz with IE4 efficiency. It features Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 protection, and ICFL insulation class, enabling reliable operation in hazardous areas. The motor supports a full-load efficiency around 96.2% and is suitable for S1 continuous duty.
Yes. The 3GGP313830-BDM carries Ex ec explosion protection and Gas Group IIC rating, alongside IP55 protection and IE4 efficiency. These certifications support safe use in hazardous environments such as chemical plants and oil and gas facilities, simplifying regulatory compliance and safeguarding personnel.
With an IP55 enclosure and cast-iron frame (315) plus IMB5 IM3001 mounting, maintenance intervals are extended due to rugged construction and reliable bearings (6319/C3). The high efficiency IE4 design reduces energy waste, lowering operating costs and heat generation, which in turn minimizes cooling requirements and downtime.
The 3GGP313830-BDM uses a D electrical connection configuration compatible with standard ABB drives and control panels. Its 400 V supply and 50 Hz rating align with common industrial power systems, while the IMB5 mounting simplifies replacement and retrofit projects, enabling faster installation and alignment with existing drive trains.
