Feature: 12-pole design with a 450-frame cast-iron enclosure yields high starting torque and strong overload margins. This geometry minimizes stalls and peak current spikes, reducing wear on drives and belts and supporting longer service intervals for heavy-duty conveyors and pumps. Application: ideal for large fans, mixers, and process equipment in rolling production lines where dependable start-up is critical. | Feature: IE2 efficiency designation (M3GP_IE2_CI) aligns with modern energy-performance targets while maintaining robust torque characteristics. Business impact: lowers operating costs through improved efficiency, reduces heat generation, and simplifies cooling demands in factory cooling budgets. Application: suitable for continuous S1 operation in OEM lines, retrofits, and process-control systems that demand reliable energy performance. | Feature: IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, Temperature Class T3, altitude 1000 m, ambient 40 °C, with a rugged 12-pole frame. Business impact: ensures reliable operation in dusty, humid environments and supports compliance with challenging industrial conditions. Application: outdoor installations, chemical processing equipment, and metalworking lines where environmental exposure is common. | Feature: Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC enable hazardous-area operation; protective design reduces the need for additional enclosures. Business impact: expands application scope to chemical plants, mining, and oil-and-gas facilities, improving procurement efficiency and safety. Application: zones requiring explosion protection, where motor reliability directly affects plant safety. | Feature: Mechanical robustness with Cast Iron frame, 450 frame size, 12 poles, and bearing set 6326M/C3 and 6322/C3; IM class IMB5 IM3001; weight 4550 kg net, 4600 kg gross. Business impact: delivers long service life, high vibration resistance, and precise alignment with couplings, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Application: pumps and large fans in heavy-industrial plants, mining operations, and process-critical equipment.

FAQs
The motor uses a standard 450 frame with a cast-iron enclosure and a 12-pole configuration, making it compatible with common mounting feet, couplings, and foot-mlo attachments used in large-scale conveyors, pumps, and fans. Its weight and IMB5/IM3001 class support stable alignment and straightforward commissioning when paired with existing ABB drives.
Key electrical specs include IE2 efficiency (M3GP_IE2_CI), IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, Temperature Class T3, altitude up to 1000 m, ambient temperature up to 40 °C, and a 12-pole, single-speed design. The motor is not two-speed and supports standard single-speed drives for reliable control.
Yes. The M3GP 450LC 12 is Ex-protected (Exec) and classified for Gas Group IIC, enabling operation in hazardous environments when installed with appropriate enclosures and safeguards. This expands its use in chemical, mining, and oil-and-gas facilities while maintaining design integrity and safety compliance.
Ideal applications include conveyors, large pumps, fans, and mixers in heavy-industry plants. Its 12-pole, 450-frame, cast-iron construction delivers high starting torque and robust overload capacity, making it suitable for continuous-duty S1 processes and environments with higher ambient temperatures or dust.
The combination of IE2 efficiency, IP55 protection, durable cast-iron housing, and reliable bearings (6326M/C3 and 6322/C3) lowers energy use, reduces cooling demands, and extends service intervals. The comprehensive protection and hazardous-area readiness also minimize spare-part variety and procurement lead times, delivering predictable lifecycle costs and faster return on investment.
