The motor delivers high efficiency with IE5-rated performance, which translates to measurable energy savings on continuous-duty drives and lower operating costs in automated lines. This feature directly reduces consumption at full and partial loads, improving overall plant energy efficiency and helping meet sustainability targets. Exeb protection provides intrinsic safety in hazardous zones, enabling installation in locations with gas or dust risks without compromising drive reliability, which reduces downtime and safety incidents. The IP55 enclosure and rugged cast-iron frame (250) support tough factory environments, enabling longer service intervals and easier maintenance while maintaining performance stability under harsh temperatures. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting configuration simplifies installation and service access, ensuring quick alignment with revering equipment and compatible ABB and third-party VFDs, minimizing commissioning time. The 4-pole, 37 kW design provides robust torque for heavy-load conveyors and metal-processing applications, with a 380 V, 50 Hz supply that fits standard industrial power systems. The synchronization of reluctance rotor technology reduces rotor losses compared with traditional induction motors, delivering consistent torque and improved drive efficiency under varying loads. Compatibility with the D connection configuration supports flexible wiring schemes, while the IP55 and IC411 insulation class satisfy global safety and environmental standards. Industry-ready features like WEEE compliance and EcoSolutions support regulatory commitments and lifecycle cost reduction, reinforcing a future-proof automation strategy.

FAQs
This motor is designed for straightforward integration on standard 380 V, 50 Hz supply. Use the D connection configuration and mount with IMB5/IM3001 as specified. Ensure the terminal box orientation and terminator box location (D-End top) align with your drive and protective enclosure requirements. Verify enclosure IP55 integrity during installation and connect to a compatible VFD with correct impedance and wiring practices to maintain Exeb safety. Proper cooling and clearance around the 250 frame are essential for reliable operation in continuous duty S9 applications.
The 3GHL252212-BRC delivers IE5 efficiency, with full-load performance around 95.7% and high efficiency at partial loads (up to 95.8% at 75% load and 95.5% at 50% load). This consistency reduces energy consumption across motor duty cycles common in conveyors and processing lines. The synchronous reluctance design minimizes rotor losses compared with traditional induction motors, improving overall drive efficiency and reducing heat generation in continuous operation.
Yes. The motor features Exeb protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for Ex-rated environments where hazardous atmospheres may be present. Its 4-pole synchronous reluctance design provides reliable torque and efficiency in demanding drives, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports robust installation in industrial spaces. Always confirm local safety certifications and follow applicable electrical codes when integrating into hazardous-area equipment and variable-frequency drive configurations.
Key standards include IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and Exeb hazardous-area protection. The unit supports sustainable manufacturing with EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) covering synchronous reluctance motors in the 7.5 kW–45 kW range. WEEE categorization as large equipment is noted, and the product originates from Finland, aiding traceability and regulatory compliance within European supply chains.
Expect energy savings from IE5 efficiency that reduce operating costs over the motor’s lifecycle, alongside reduced maintenance due to robust cast-iron framing and reliable Exeb protection for hazardous environments. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplifies installation and servicing, shortening downtime during preventive maintenance and swaps. Coupled with ABB compatibility and standard 380 V drives, this motor supports predictable return on investment through energy conservation, reliability, and a lower total cost of ownership.
