FAQs
This motor uses a 400 frame with a cast-iron shell and a top terminator box, designed for straightforward mounting and upright installation. Ensure compatibility with IEC-based drives and observe the eight-pole, S1 duty rating for continuous operation. The unit’s mounting pattern aligns with standard 400 frame motors to simplify retrofits and replacements.
The motor is IE2-rated, with Full Load efficiency listed at 93.5%. At partial loads of 75% and 50%, efficiency remains high (93.8% and 93.3%, respectively). These figures translate to measurable energy savings over IE1-class motors, contributing to lower energy bills and a faster return on investment in continuous-process applications.
Yes. The ABB 3GGP404820-BEG features Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, alongside IP55 ingress protection, making it appropriate for hazardous zones when installed per local regulations. Always verify site-specific compliance and enclosures to maintain rated protection in operation.
Key specs include Frame Size 400 with a Cast Iron frame and bearings 6324/C3 and 6319/C3. The motor supports an IM class of IMB5 IM3001 and a top-terminator box, designed for rugged duty. The unit’s net weight is around 3200 kg with a gross weight of 3240 kg, supporting heavy-duty automation needs.
Ideal for heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and material-handling lines in process plants, chemical facilities, and energy sectors. The 8-pole design provides balanced speed and torque for reliable continuous operation (S1), while Ex and IP55 protections expand suitability to challenging environments such as dusty or hazardous zones.
