High-efficiency IE5 synchronous reluctance design reduces energy consumption across 50 Hz operation, delivering tangible cost savings in continuous duty and high-load applications. This translates to lower operating costs in process lines and packaging systems, especially where energy usage is a top constraint. The Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure enable safe operation in hazardous zones and dusty environments, reducing risk of corroded components and unplanned downtime in mining, chemical, or general industry. The 90 kW output, 4-pole configuration, 500 V input, and 50 Hz rating offer a compact yet powerful drive solution for frame size 250 with robust cast-iron construction, ensuring long service life in demanding installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new-build integrations alike, accelerating installation and alignment while minimizing change orders. The star (Y) connection configuration supports straightforward wiring in control cabinets, while the insulation class ICLF and IC411 standards provide enhanced thermal resilience. This motor’s lifecycle benefits are reinforced by ABB EcoSolutions, aiding sustainability reporting and end-of-life considerations while maintaining peak performance under 1000 m altitude and 40 C ambient conditions.

FAQs
This motor uses a Y (star) connection for simple three-phase wiring, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports quick, secure installation on standard bases. When retrofitting, confirm frame size 250 and cast-iron housing compatibility with your machine frame. Ensure phase wiring, proper cable glands, and protection against dust ingress to maintain the IP55 rating. Allow for adequate space for heat dissipation in confined spaces.
The motor is rated IE5 efficiency with a 500 V input at 50 Hz, delivering 90 kW output with 4 poles. For full-load behavior at 50 Hz, efficiency is 96.4% (per IE Class Data). Design supports continuous operation in standard industrial power systems and aligns with IC411 insulation and ICFL class requirements to sustain performance in challenging environments.
Yes, the ABB 3GHL252237-BFC features Ex eb protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous area drives where explosion protection and ingress protection are critical. It is also compatible with Gas Group IIC environments and offers robust performance under elevated ambient temperatures, helping maintain safety margins in chemical, oil & gas, and mining sectors.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency, Ex eb explosion protection, and IP55 enclosure. Additional standards referenced are IC411 insulation class and ICFL insulation, 50 Hz operation, and the IMB5/IM3001 mounting classifications. The UNSPSC code 26101100 helps with procurement categorization, while the Environmental Product Declaration supports sustainability reporting for synchronous reluctance motors.
Maintenance benefits stem from a rugged cast-iron frame, robust bearings (6315/C3 and 6213/C3), and a proven IMB5/IM3001 mounting system that reduces alignment issues and downtime. Energy savings from IE5 efficiency contribute to a lower total cost of ownership, while the explosion-protected design lowers risk in hazardous environments, supporting longer machine uptime and improved return on investment.
