FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a 500 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply. It uses a Y connection for compact, reliable wiring and aligns with standard plant electrical rooms. For retrofits, verify frame 225 footing, shaft alignment, and starter compatibility with ABB drives to minimize commissioning time.
The motor conforms to IE5 efficiency, offering high full-load performance (96.3% at 100% load) and strong partial-load efficiency (96.3% at 75%, 96.0% at 50%). This translates to meaningful energy savings on continuous duty applications such as conveyors and pumps in production lines.
Yes. The 3GHL222233-AFC includes Ex protection (Exeb) suitable for hazardous environments and gas group IIC compatibility. Combined with IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, it supports safe operation in zones with dust, moisture, and potentially explosive atmospheres.
Key certifications include Ex protection (Exeb), IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, and IE5 efficiency. It also carries an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Synchronous Reluctance motors and a WEEE category designation, supporting sustainable procurement and lifecycle transparency.
The IE5 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor’s life, while robust bearings (6313/C3 and 6212/C3) and a cast-iron frame improve reliability in harsh environments. Combined with easy installation in IMB3 mounting and compatibility with ABB drives, users can expect lower maintenance costs and faster payback on modernization projects.
