The 3GHL252212-ARC features IE5 efficiency in a compact 37 kW, 4-pole design, which translates to measurable energy savings in continuous production and lower utility bills over the motor’s life. This directly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) while maintaining high torque and predictable performance in process lines. The Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure provide safer operation in hazardous zones and dusty or damp environments, enabling installation closer to the line and reducing footprint requirements. With a cast iron frame (frame size 250) and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, the unit offers rugged durability and straightforward alignment during installation, minimizing downtime and spare-part needs. The motor’s operating voltage of 380 V at 50 Hz, plus a stable 4-pole configuration, ensures compatibility with standard industrial drives and control panels, simplifying integration with existing ABB or third-party motor control solutions. The unit’s 1000 m altitude rating and 40 °C ambient tolerance expand its applicability in outdoor or semi-outdoor plants, while the Ex protection (Exeb) and IIC gas Group support compliance with key safety standards for chemical, refining, and metal-processing environments. Industry-specific benefits include lower maintenance costs due to robust bearings (6315/C3 and 6210/C3) and a reliable IMB3 IM1001 footprint that aligns with IM commissioning best practices and standardized gearbox coupling strategies.

FAQs
Installation should follow a certified Ex-rated procedure: mount on IMB3/IM1001 as specified, connect via the designated configuration D, use 380 V 50 Hz power, and maintain IP55 sealing. Verify Exeb protection for explosion-hazard zones and ensure cabling meets local ATEX/IECEx requirements. After mounting, perform a torque check on all fasteners and verify alignment with coupled equipment to minimize vibration and wear.
IE5 denotes top-tier efficiency for synchronous reluctance motors, reducing copper and iron losses during full-load and partial-load operation. In continuous duty, this translates to energy savings against standard IE1/IE2 motors, contributing to lower electricity bills and better overall plant profitability. The motor’s design also supports consistent torque and reduced thermal loading, which helps extend bearing life and reduce cooling requirements in the drive system.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL252212-ARC uses an IMB3 IM1001 mounting scheme and is a 4-pole design, frame size 250 with a Cast Iron frame. This combination supports robust mechanical mounting, straightforward alignment, and reliable rotor dynamics. It aligns with common industrial drive train layouts and standard gearbox interfaces, enabling smooth integration into existing lines.
Key certifications include Ex eb explosion protection and IP55 enclosure, with insulation class IC411 and gas group IIC compatibility. This makes the motor suitable for chemical, oil and gas, metals, and other safety-critical industries where hazardous areas require certified electrical equipment while maintaining robust environmental protection.
ROI hinges on energy savings from IE5 efficiency and reduced maintenance due to a rugged cast-iron frame and reliable bearings (6315/C3, 6210/C3). With Ex protection, downtime in hazardous zones is minimized, and long service intervals lower maintenance costs. For multi-site deployment, standardized mounting and footprint simplify spare-part inventory and cross-site procurement, delivering faster project commissioning and consistent performance.
