Cast iron frame and bearing assembly deliver exceptional durability for ongoing operation under high-torque loads, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance intervals in conveyors, pumps, and processing lines. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect internal components from dust, moisture, and thermal stress, enabling reliable performance in outdoor or dusty plant environments while maintaining consistent torque delivery. Ex-protection (Exec) along with Gas Group IIC ratings provide a safety envelope for hazardous-area installations, helping facilities meet regulatory requirements without compromising on productivity. The 2-pole, single-speed configuration paired with a 450 frame supports strong startup torque and straightforward integration with standard ABB drives, minimizing engineering time and compatibility risk. IE2 energy efficiency boosts lifecycle cost savings, while the cast-iron housing and 6317M/C3 bearings promote long service life and lower replacement costs. Heavy-duty construction also simplifies maintenance planning, with predictable spare-part compatibility within the ABB ecosystem and long-term service support. Weighing in at approximately 4,350 kg net, the design is optimized for robust handling, with clear implications for logistics, installation sequencing, and commissioning workflows, ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget.

FAQs
ABB 3GGP451520-BEG is designed for seamless integration with ABB drive systems and standard IEC mounting. During installation, confirm the 450 frame fits the existing base, the 2-pole, single-speed configuration matches your process speed, and that the IP55 enclosure is sealed against dust and moisture. Plan for heavy-handling equipment due to a gross weight around 4,390 kg and ensure all electrical connections follow applicable codes and local safety practices.
This motor uses a 3-phase squirrel cage design with an IE2 efficiency class, delivering reliable torque while reducing energy consumption over the lifecycle. It operates at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, with IC411 insulation for continuous duty (S1). When selecting for a given application, align the load profile and drive controller settings to maximize the IE2 benefits and minimize energy waste.
Yes. The ABB 3GGP451520-BEG features Ex-protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC ratings, enabling safe operation in hazardous environments when installed to the relevant standards. Combine this with the IP55 protection and IC411 insulation to meet common regulatory requirements for chemical plants, refineries, and other high-risk facilities. Always verify local explosion-proof and installation codes before commissioning.
The motor carries IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and IE2 efficiency, with Ex-protection for hazardous zones. It is manufactured to align with European procurement expectations, including compliance with CE-relevant requirements and standard electrical classifications. The Finland origin and tariff classification (85015399) support streamlined customs clearance and supply-chain integration in European projects.
ROI is driven by energy savings from IE2 efficiency, reduced downtime due to a robust cast-iron housing and reliable bearings, and easier integration with ABB drives for optimized control. Benefits include longer service life (6317M/C3 bearings), predictable maintenance planning, and simplified spare-parts logistics within the ABB ecosystem. Performing a lifecycle cost analysis will quantify energy, maintenance, and downtime reductions over the motor’s service life.
