FAQs
The 3GGP403830-AEK is designed for IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a 400 frame size and top terminator box. It supports easy alignment with driven equipment and standard 500 V supply. For best results, verify mounting surfaces are clean, ensure correct shaft alignment, and follow ABB wiring guidelines to connect the 500 V, 50 Hz supply safely.
At 50 Hz and 60 Hz, the motor features IE3 efficiency with Full Load (100%) values around 95.8%. Partial-load figures are approximately 95.6% at 75% and 95.2–94.9% at 50% load, depending on speed. The unit is rated for 500 V input, 6-pole configuration, and a 500 kW output, ensuring consistent performance across standard industrial grids.
Yes. The motor provides EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, along with IP55 enclosure and Dust Ignition Proof design. Combined with IC411 insulation class, this makes the motor suitable for dusty and potentially explosive industrial atmospheres typical in cement, chemical, and mining facilities.
The unit’s premium IE3 efficiency reduces operating energy costs over its life, while a robust cast-iron frame and long-lasting bearings extend service intervals. Easy mounting and top-box wiring minimize downtime during installation and maintenance. Overall, expect lower energy bills, fewer field faults, and improved uptime in continuous-process applications.
Mounting is designed around IMB3/IM1001 with a top terminator box for straightforward wiring. The 400 frame, 6-pole design and 500 V connection support reliable integration with standard drives and gear, while the top-box and robust casing simplify servicing in space-constrained or retrofit projects. For custom configurations, consult ABB documentation and support.
