Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE5 efficiency of the 3GHL252237-ASC, driven by synchronous reluctance technology, reduces energy consumption across continuous-drive cycles. This translates to tangible cost savings in high-load applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, where duty cycles push electrical efficiency. In practice, facility managers see lower operating temperatures and quieter performance, boosting reliability and uptime while meeting corporate energy targets. nFeature → Business Impact → Application: Ex protection Exeb enables safe operation in hazardous areas. This reduces risk assessments and compliance costs by allowing installation in zones where ignition hazards exist. The motor's gas group IIC rating and IP55 enclosure support safe handling in oil & gas, mining, and chemical processing lines, eliminating the need for multiple zone-specific drives in many layouts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Robust mechanicals—cast-iron frame (size 250), 4 poles, 90 kW at 400 V—provide durability under tough operating conditions. The IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and Y-configuration simplify retrofits and new installations, reducing commissioning time and procurement risk. The motor's design tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring predictable performance in multi-site deployments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Maintenance and lifecycle cost advantages come from high-quality bearings (6315/C3, 6213/C3) and insulation (ICLF). The IE5 SynRM solution reduces wear and improves efficiency under partial loads (75% and 50%), aligning with modern automation strategies and Industry 4.0 analytics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Y connection, 400 V 50 Hz supply, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplify installation in existing panels and new builds, lowering risk during retrofits and migrations across multiple production lines. These design choices support scalable deployment and rapid ROI evaluation in industrial facilities.

FAQs
The motor uses a Y configuration and 3-phase 400 V supply at 50 Hz. Mounting is compatible with IMB3/IM1001, and the unit features an IP55 enclosure with Exeb protection for hazardous areas. Ensure proper clearance for the 4-pole 250-frame and use the D-End top terminal box location. Follow standard ABB installation practices and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C or 1000 m altitude for reliable operation.
Yes. The motor carries Exeb protection suitable for hazardous areas and is rated for gas group IIC with IP55 enclosure. This makes it appropriate for oil, gas, mining, and chemical processing environments, reducing the need for zone-specific drives and simplifying compliance with applicable safety standards.
IE5 class denotes top-tier energy efficiency for this 90 kW SynRM motor. Benefits include reduced energy consumption across full-load and partial-load conditions (as indicated by corresponding efficiency curves), lower heat generation, and improved system-wide drive efficiency in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors. These gains translate to lower operating costs and improved overall equipment effectiveness.
Retrofitting with IMB3 IM1001 mounting simplifies integration into existing frames and basins. The 4-pole, 250-frame size, cast-iron construction, and IP55 enclosure support rugged duty, while the Y connection and 400 V supply align with common plant power distributions. Pay attention to terminal box location (D-End top) and ensure compatibility with your drive controller and protective relays for Ex protection in hazardous zones.
The SynRM design, high-precision bearings (6315/C3, 6213/C3), and robust insulation (ICLF) enable longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership. Energy savings from IE5 efficiency, combined with hazardous-area protection and durable mechanicals, support accelerated ROI in continuous-operation facilities such as chemical plants and water treatment. Predictable performance under 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude further stabilizes maintenance planning.
