High-efficiency IE5 motor design translates to tangible energy savings in continuous-drive applications. By delivering Full Load efficiency around 95.8%, annual energy costs for 55 kW load can be substantially lower than older IE classes, reducing operating expenditures in pumps and fans across your plant. Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure reduce ignition risk and dust ingress, enabling safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and similar hazardous environments while meeting IIC gas-group requirements. The robust cast-iron frame (280) with 6316/C3 bearings and IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides long life and simple installation in existing footprints, minimizing downtime during retrofits. Wiring is streamlined by a Y-connection for 690 V networks at 50 Hz, with ample headroom for altitude up to 1000 m and ambient up to 40 °C, enhancing reliability in diverse sites. The motor’s IE5 efficiency, compact IMB3 mounting, and maintenance-friendly design deliver measurable ROI through lower energy consumption and reduced cooling needs in continuous-duty operations.

FAQs
Yes. The ABB 3GHL282222-AUC is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz three-phase systems with a Y (star) connection. It uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 4-pole frame size 280. D-End top termination simplifies wiring access, and the 4P configuration aligns with typical industrial drives, minimizing panel space and facilitating straightforward retrofit into existing installations.
IE5 efficiency for this motor is 95.8% at full load (100%). At partial loads, the specification shows 95.8% for 75% load and 95.3% for 50% load, meaning substantially lower energy consumption across a wide operating envelope. This translates to meaningful lifecycle cost savings in constant-speed conveyors, pumps, and HVAC fans.
Yes. The motor features Ex eb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, with gas group IIC rating, supporting safe operation in hazardous zones such as chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining facilities. The protection, combined with robust construction, helps meet regulatory and safety requirements while enabling reliable operation in demanding environments.
The motor uses a Y-connected 690 V supply and is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with a cast-iron frame for durability. It provides a D-End top terminator location for convenient cabling, and its 4-pole, 55 kW rating suits medium-to-high power drives. Its mounting and footprint align with standard ABB and industry installations, reducing retrofit risk and downtime.
The motor’s IE5 efficiency and Ex protection deliver energy savings and safety compliance that shorten payback periods in continuous-duty applications. With no required special accessories for standard operation and ABB EcoSolutions alignment (EPD coverage), customers can anticipate lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, and easier procurement cycles, improving total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
