FAQs
The 3GHL222233-BRC is designed for 380 V, 50 Hz three-phase mains and uses a D connection configuration. It is compatible with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a 225 frame, with D-End top termination access. When retrofitting, confirm shaft alignment, foundation stiffness, and compatibility with existing VFDs or soft starters to ensure smooth start-up and optimal torque delivery in demanding drives.
The motor delivers 45 kW of continuous output power with four poles and a 225 frame. It operates at 380 V and 50 Hz, featuring IE5 efficiency and IP55 protection. Ex eb protection supports hazardous-area operation, while gas group IIC and a robust 1,000 m altitude tolerance extend applicability to challenging sites. Efficiency data at various loads confirms strong energy savings across full-load and partial-load scenarios.
Yes. The 3GHL222233-BRC includes Exeb protection and IIC gas-group suitability, designed for hazardous zones. It also offers IP55 protection and a robust IEC/ATEX-aligned construction. For procurement, reference the IE5 efficiency, Ex protection, IP rating, and mounting standards to demonstrate compliance with safety regulations in chemical or petrochemical plants.
IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption, typically lowering operating costs by several percent over a motor’s life, depending on load profile and duty cycle. The robust cast-iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting contribute to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. Additionally, guaranteed operating conditions (40 °C ambient, 1,000 m altitude) minimize unexpected downtime in hot or elevated environments.
Mounting with IMB5 IM3001 and a D-End top terminator supports flexible installation in existing frames or new builds. The 225 frame with a cast-iron housing offers excellent rigidity and vibration damping, aiding alignment with driven equipment like conveyors, pumps, or fans. Ensure correct coupling, compatible inverter controls, and proper enclosure integrity to maintain IP55 and Ex protections during commissioning.
