The 55 kW synchronous reluctance design delivers improved efficiency and lower operating losses, translating to measurable energy savings in continuous-drive applications. This is reinforced by IE5 efficiency, which helps meet stringent regulatory and corporate sustainability targets while reducing total cost of ownership over the motor’s life. Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure provide reliable operation in hazardous zones and dusty environments, minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. The 4-pole, 250 mm frame with IMB3/IM1001 mounting enables straightforward installation and retrofit compatibility with existing plant footprints, streamlining integration with ABB drives and controls for optimized performance. With Y connection and a wide operating range at 50 Hz, this motor supports both new installations and upgrades, reducing engineering effort and stocking complexity. The combination of cast-iron frame durability, robust bearings (6315/C3 and 6213/C3), and inverter-ready voltage class (500 V) delivers long life in demanding industrial settings, while the environmental declarations and EcoSolutions support regulatory reporting and responsible sourcing. This motor is well-suited for industries such as chemical, oil & gas, metal processing, and mining where efficiency, reliability, and compliance drive project ROI.

FAQs
The 3GHL252217-AFC uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 250 frame size, designed for straightforward retrofits and compatibility with standard ABB control platforms. It supports Y configuration, 4-pole operation, and a 500 V supply, enabling seamless integration with common ABB drives and soft-start units. When planning installation, verify existing shaft alignment, terminal box access at the D-End top, and space for maintenance clearance to ensure efficient commissioning and service access.
This is a 55 kW, 4-pole, 3-phase synchronous reluctance motor with IE5 efficiency. It operates at 50 Hz with a 500 V supply and a rated output of 55 kW, delivering high full-load efficiency around 96.9% (IE Class IE5) and robust partial-load performance. These specs translate to lower energy consumption during steady-state operation, smaller heat generation, and reduced cooling requirements for high-duty-cycle drives in continuous manufacturing processes.
Yes. The motor features Exeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous zones and demanding environments. It is rated for IIC gas group and outfitted with insulation and enclosure protections that meet IC411/IEC standards. This combination supports safe operation in chemical processing, oil & gas, and other hazard-prone facilities when installed per local regulations and with proper shaft seals and wiring methods.
Key certifications include Exeb explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, IE5 energy efficiency, and IC411 insulation class (ICLF). The motor is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz operation with a 55 kW output, and supports environmental declarations (EPD) and WEEE categorization. Compliance extends to mounting standards (IMB3/IM1001) and GHS/labeling requirements as applicable to industrial equipment in the target markets.
The SynRM design inherently reduces rotor losses and heat generation, contributing to energy savings and lower cooling costs over the motor’s life. With robust cast-iron construction, large bearings, and Ex protection, maintenance intervals can be extended, minimizing downtime. The ability to retrofit into existing plant footprints and to integrate with standard ABB drives also lowers engineering and spare-part costs, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment in high-demand production lines.
