Feature: IE5 efficiency is a cornerstone of the 3GHL252212-ASC design, delivering full-load performance around 95.6% at 50 Hz and roughly 95.7% at 60 Hz. Business impact: lower energy costs and cooler operation extend bearing life and reduce cooling requirements, improving total cost of ownership. Application: ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in process industries where energy intensity matters and duty type S9 is common, especially at 400 V supply with a 4-pole, 3-phase setup. Feature: Ex protection Exeb enables safe operation in hazardous zones and supports gas group IIC classifications. Business impact: simplifies regulatory compliance and reduces risk during maintenance. Application: suitable for chemical processing, paint shops, or near solvent handling areas where equipment must withstand explosive atmospheres. Feature: IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation with a cast-iron frame 250, plus 4 poles and Y connection. Business impact: rugged reliability in dusty, humid, or high-temperature environments with up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. Application: prime for earth-moving, water treatment, and material handling in tough environments. Feature: IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-End top terminator box simplify installation and service. Business impact: facilitates retrofit into existing lines and reduces installation times in industrial plants. Application: standard industrial installations with 0-50 Hz to 60 Hz operations and 400 V supply. Feature: ABB EcoSolutions and Environmental Product Declaration provide sustainability and lifecycle transparency. Business impact: supports green procurement, potential energy rebates, and compliant design. Application: preferred choice for OEMs pursuing modern, low-emission drives across mining, metals, and process industries.

FAQs
For installation, use the IMB3 IM1001 mounting configuration with the D-End top terminator box to simplify wiring and service access. Ensure a 400 V, 50 Hz power supply with a Y connection, and confirm the 250 frame fits your enclosure footprint. Attach the motor to a rigid base to preserve alignment, and implement suitable protective measures for IP55 enclosure in dusty or humid environments. Verify Ex eb suitability and perform a hazard assessment for your specific zone to maintain compliance.
The motor delivers IE5 efficiency with a 37 kW output, 400 V input, at 50 Hz. It features a 4-pole configuration, IP55 enclosure, and Y-connected winding. Rated for S9 duty and a maximum ambient of 40 °C at up to 1000 m altitude, performance remains robust across standard industrial loads. Full-load efficiency is in the IE5 band, with high partial-load performance suitable for process drives where energy savings are essential.
Yes. The motor is Exeb protected for hazardous areas and classified for gas group IIC, with IP55 and ICFL insulation.
