Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 355 kW output at 500 V with IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption and operating costs in continuous duty applications such as cement mills, mining conveyors, and chemical process lines. This translates to measurable cost savings over the motor’s lifecycle while delivering dependable torque at full load. Application: Use in high-load drives where energy efficiency directly lowers utility bills and improves plant profitability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dust ignition proof design with IP55 enclosure and EX protection (Gas Group IIC) enhances safety and regulatory compliance in hazardous environments, reducing ignition risk and enabling compliant operation in dusty or gas-laden spaces. Application: Ideal for cement, mining, and chemical facilities seeking certified ignition protection without compromising performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and top-terminal box simplify installation and future retrofits, minimizing downtime and enabling straightforward maintenance. Application: Fits OEMs upgrading legacy equipment or integrating new ABB motors into existing ABB or third-party systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron frame 400, 8-pole design and D connection provide robust mechanical integrity and versatile control, supporting reliable long-term operation in harsh conditions. Application: Suitable for high-torque start-up requirements and stable operation in conveyors and fans. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Temperature class and insulation (ICLF), altitude tolerance to 1000 m, and 40 °C ambient rating ensure resilience in semi-enclosed facilities and outdoor installations with demanding environmental profiles. Application: Deploy in mining operations or processing plants with elevated ambient temperatures and space constraints.

FAQs
The motor is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box. Use the D connection configuration and ensure the frame 400 footprint aligns with the equipment pad. Verify 500 V, 50 Hz supply and confirm ambient conditions remain below 40 °C with IP55 protection during installation.
It features dust ignition proof construction, IP55 enclosure, and EX protection with Gas Group IIC, plus insulation suitable for demanding temperatures. These ratings support safe operation in dusty or explosive atmospheres while maintaining IE3 efficiency and reliable torque delivery.
Yes. The 3GGP family uses standard 3-phase connections and D configuration, with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and top-terminal box. It is designed to integrate with ABB control systems and compatible accessory sets, easing retrofit or new-build projects.
At 50 Hz the IE3-rated motor delivers 355 kW with full-load efficiency around 94.6–94.8%. At 60 Hz similar efficiency levels are maintained (approximately 95.0%), ensuring strong torque and energy efficiency across common European and North American power standards.
Product net dimensions are 1891 mm (length) × 1065 mm (height) × 840 mm (width) with a net weight of 3200 kg and gross weight of 3240 kg. The frame material is cast iron (size 400), with eight poles and a top-terminal box configuration to fit tight installation spaces.
