IE5 efficiency translates to meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as conveyors, pumps, or fans, reducing operating costs and heat generation. The Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure provide compliance and safe operation in hazardous zones, minimizing risk and downtime in chemical plants and mining environments. The synchronous reluctance (SynRM) rotor delivers high efficiency with low rotor losses across partial loads, improving performance consistency at variable speeds common in automation lines. IMB5/IM3001 mounting offers flexible installation options and robust mechanical stability in compact footprints, while the 225 frame and 4-pole design support straightforward serviceability and compatibility with standard drives. Compatibility with ABB control systems and star-connected 690 V, 50 Hz operation simplifies integration and reduces commissioning time. Overall, this motor enhances uptime, reduces lifecycle costs, and supports scalable automation in demanding industries.

FAQs
The 3GHL222227-BUC is designed for IMB5 and IM3001 mounting, with a star (Y) connection suitable for 690 V, 50 Hz operation. Its frame size 225 and four-pole configuration simplify alignment with common ABB drive systems. For installation, ensure proper torque on mounting feet, verify cable entry clearance, and follow Ex-rated enclosure practices to maintain IP55 integrity.
Key specs include 45 kW output power, 4 poles, frame size 225, operating voltage 690 V, frequency 50 Hz, and IP55 enclosure. The motor is IE5 efficient with Exeb protection for hazardous areas, insulation class ICLF, and a star connection (Y). It is designed for ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m.
Yes. The motor features Exeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous-area applications. It supports Gas Group IIC and conforms to relevant IE5 efficiency standards. The design uses a robust insulation system (ICLF) and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, supporting safe, compliant operation in Zone 1/Zone 2 environments when integrated with appropriate control gear.
Maintenance benefits arise from IE5 efficiency and robust SynRM design, which reduce thermal stress and wear under variable loads. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting options simplify field installation, while the IP55 protection minimizes ingress-related maintenance. A Finland-built build with durable bearings (6313/C3, 6212/C3) and cast-iron frame supports long service intervals and predictable performance in automated lines.
ROI improves through lower energy consumption due to IE5 efficiency, reduced cooling requirements, and extended maintenance intervals thanks to rugged construction. Hazardous-area protection minimizes downtime and compliance risk, while compatibility with ABB drives enables precise speed control and process optimization. In high-duty environments, lifecycle costs drop as uptime increases and energy costs decline over the motor’s life.
