Feature: IE5 efficiency in a 55 kW synchronous reluctance motor with Ex eb safety. Business Impact: Lower energy consumption reduces operating costs over the motor’s life, improving total cost of ownership for continuous-duty drives. Application: ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors operating at 50 Hz with a 400 V supply. Feature: Ex eb protection and hazardous-area suitability. Business Impact: Enhanced safety and regulatory compliance in gas or dust environments, reducing downtime and risk. Application: suitable for chemical processing, mining, and other zones requiring explosion protection. Feature: IP55 enclosure with rugged mechanical design (Cast Iron frame 250, bearings 6315/C3). Business Impact: Improved reliability in dusty or damp plants and extended service intervals. Application: heavy-duty conveyors and material-handling lines in challenging environments. Feature: Flexible mounting and electrical compatibility (IMB5/IM3001, 4-Pole, Y connection, 400 V, 50 Hz). Business Impact: Faster installation and easier retrofit into existing systems, lowering project lead times. Application: new builds and upgrades across packaging, process, and industrial automation. Feature: Environmentally-conscious and standards-aligned (IE5, IC411, WEEE, EPD). Business Impact: Supports sustainability targets, regulatory traceability, and reduced lifecycle risk. Application: facilities pursuing energy efficiency credits and responsible procurement.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-End top terminal box and a Y connection configuration. It operates at 400 V, 50 Hz and is designed for 4-pole, 3-phase systems. The combination simplifies retrofits and new installations, enabling quick alignment with existing drive trains and standard ABB mounting footprints.
At 50 Hz the motor complies with IE5 efficiency standards, delivering near-peak performance under full-load conditions. IE Class Data for 50 Hz shows Full Load efficiency around 96.4%, with substantial performance margin at 75% and 50% loads, supporting energy savings across varying operating profiles in pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The 3GHL252217-BSC includes Exeb explosion protection and a gas group rating of IIC, making it appropriate for hazardous zones. The IP55 enclosure provides dust and moisture resistance, while the IE5 performance ensures reliable operation without compromising safety in tough environments.
IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption and electricity costs, improving return on investment over the motor’s life. Ex protection and robust enclosure help meet safety and regulatory requirements in hazardous areas, reducing downtime and risk-related costs. Combined, they support sustainability targets and long-term cost performance in continuous-duty drives.
The motor’s IMB5/IM3001 mounting, 4-pole design, and 400 V, 50 Hz supply simplify integration into existing lines and retrofit projects. Cast-iron frame and bearings (6315/C3) extend service intervals, while EPD/WEEE considerations and ABB EcoSolutions align with maintenance planning and end-of-life strategies.
