Efficient IE2 performance delivers measurable energy savings without compromising torque in continuous operation. The motor uses a robust 450 frame with a cast-iron housing and a 12-pole design to deliver steady torque across extended duty cycles. In demanding applications such as pumps and conveyors, these design choices translate into lower kW demand and reduced heat-related wear. Environmental resilience is built in with IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, allowing reliable operation in dusty or humid plant floors and at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The design also accommodates up to 1000 m altitude, helping sites at elevation avoid derating and maintain consistent performance. Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC certification enable safe operation in hazardous zones, making the motor suitable for chemical processing or pharmaceutical environments where safety standards dictate explosion protection. This reduces the need for multiple SKUs while simplifying compliance training and maintenance planning. The heavy-duty bearings (6326M/C3 and 6322/C3) and IMB3 IM1001 class contribute to a long service life and simpler maintenance in high-load installations. The combination of a cast iron frame and precise tolerances minimizes vibration and noise, supporting smoother operation on large fans, compressors, and mixers. Despite its rugged build, the 3GGP456520-AEG is compatible with standard 450-frame motors and readily integrates with existing drive systems. The 1-piece unit policy and non-make-to-order approach help shorten lead times and simplify stocking, while the IE2 rating supports energy-efficiency programs across plant networks.

FAQs
ABB 3GGP456520-AEG is sized around a standard 450 frame with a cast-iron housing and foot mounting suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Its 12-pole design matches common industrial drives, simplifying alignment with existing couplings and bases. Check shaft alignment accuracy, bearing preload, and base plate rigidity to minimize vibration and improve uptime during start-up and fully loaded operation.
Key performance specs include a 12-pole high-pole count, 450 frame size, IE2 efficiency class, 3-phase squirrel cage construction, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a duty rating of S1 for steady operation. It operates at ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, with voltage code E. These factors influence torque, speed, and energy consumption in continuous duty.
Yes, the ABB motor offers Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC certification, enabling safe operation in hazardous zones. This reduces the need for separate enclosure solutions and simplifies compliance for chemical, petrochemical, or pharmaceutical process lines. Ensure the installation complies with local standards and that the Ex-rated variant is specified when ordering.
Certification highlights include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, Ex protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC, and compliance indicators such as WEEE category 4 for Large Equipment and UNSPSC 26101100. Finland-origin manufacturing also supports traceability and quality management. When sourcing, verify the Ex variant is selected for hazardous environments and that the motor remains within the project regulatory scope.
Maintenance guidance emphasizes robust bearings (6326M/C3 and 6322/C3) and a cast-iron frame that resist wear in high-load service. The IE2 efficiency reduces running energy costs, and the solid construction lowers maintenance frequency in large drives like pumps and conveyors. Expect longer service life and lower downtime, contributing to a favorable return on investment in continuous-duty applications.
