FAQs
For ABB 3GHL252223-AFC, ensure IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility by verifying frame size 250 and the cast iron enclosure. Prepare a level, vibration-free base and confirm power wiring at 500 V 50 Hz with a Y connection. Allow for adequate clearance for cooling and maintenance access, and follow Ex protection installation guidelines to maintain IP55 integrity in hazardous areas.
The motor features Ex eb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for industrial zones with explosive atmospheres. Its IE5 efficiency reduces energy usage, while the robust IMB3/IM1001 mounting supports safe, vibration-tolerant installation. Combined, these factors help maintain process safety, regulatory compliance, and lower total cost of ownership in hazardous settings.
Key specs include a 55 kW output at 500 V, 50 Hz, 4 poles, and a 470 V operating range with a 96.5% full-load efficiency at 50 Hz. The motor uses a Y connection, provides IP55 protection, and operates under IC411 insulation. It is designed for 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The 3GHL252223-AFC is specified as IE5 efficiency, which translates to high energy performance at full load. It also carries IP55 protection for dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. This combination supports energy savings, safer operation, and longer service life in continuous production lines.
Upgrading to the 3GHL252223-AFC can reduce energy consumption due to IE5 efficiency, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life. The Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure minimize unplanned downtime by improving safety and reliability in hazardous zones. The IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies installation and maintenance, decreasing total downtime during service intervals.
