FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, which streamlines retrofits and new installations. The 4-pole, 250 frame size and cast-iron construction simplify alignment with standard baseplates while delivering robust torque. For upgrades, verify shaft alignment and space for the Exeb termination box location (D-End top) to minimize cabling runs and downtime.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency, providing high energy savings during full-load operation (100%) and at partial loads (75% and 50%). With a 90 kW rating and 4 poles, you get strong torque characteristics and smooth speed control ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in steady-state and variable-frequency drive (VFD) controlled scenarios.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL252237-BDC features Ex protection (Exeb) and IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for dusty and moist industrial zones. Its gas group IIC capability and insulation class ICLF further support safe operation in hazardous areas, while the 40 °C ambient limit and 1000 m altitude handling expand site applicability.
The motor supports IE5 efficiency and Ex protection, with IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation. Customary standards include hazardous-area compliance through Exeb protection and energy efficiency labeling through IE5. The product also references frame size, mounting compatibility, and country of origin (Finland FI), aiding supplier qualification and lifecycle planning.
Compared with standard induction motors, this SynRM design offers lower energy consumption due to IE5 efficiency, reduced thermal load, and longer intervals between maintenance due to robust cast-iron construction and fewer moving parts. The Ex protection and IP55 rating reduce risk of unplanned downtime in harsh sites, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved ROI.
