The 90 kW synchronous reluctance motor delivers measurable energy savings through IE5 efficiency, reducing operating costs in continuous-duty drives and minimizing heat generation in confined installations. This translates to lower cooling requirements and improved system reliability in steel, mining, and process industries. The Ex eb protection and IP55 rating provide safe operation in hazardous areas and dusty environments, reducing safety risks and enabling compliant motor installs in Zone 1/2 facilities. Frame 280, four-pole design, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify installation on existing bases and facilitate retrofits without extensive structural changes. With a cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6316/C3), the motor withstands vibration and high loads, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance expenditures. The design also supports easy integration with standard 500 V, 50 Hz drives, improving compatibility with existing plant electrical infrastructure. Compliance with IE5 and local standards helps meet sustainability and regulatory goals while EcoSolutions features contribute to lower total cost of ownership. Industry experience shows synchronous reluctance motors excel in applications requiring precise torque control and energy efficiency, such as extrusion, pump, and conveyor systems, making this ABB solution a practical upgrade for modern plants.

FAQs
The motor supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a frame size 280 and four-pole configuration. This simplifies replacements on existing bases and enables straightforward retrofits without major structural changes. The 90 kW rating matches typical mid-to-large industrial drive applications where a robust, standard mounting scheme reduces installation risk and downtime.
Key electrical specs include 90 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, 4 poles, IE5 efficiency, and IP55 enclosure. The motor operates with Ex eb explosion protection and a nominal operating voltage around 470 V, making it compatible with standard industrial drives while maintaining high efficiency and safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL282223-AEC is rated Ex eb for hazardous areas and IP55 for protection against dust and water ingress. With IE5 efficiency and a robust IMB3/IM1001 mounting, it is designed for safe, reliable operation in Zone 1/2 environments typical of mining, petrochemical, and metal-processing facilities.
IE5 efficiency yields lower energy consumption, supported by Full Load efficiency around 96.5% and favorable partial-load figures (96.2% at 75%, 95.3% at 50%). Over a project lifetime, these gains reduce electricity costs, thermal load, and cooling requirements, contributing to a shorter payback period and lower ongoing maintenance costs due to reduced thermal stress.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency and Ex eb protection with IP55 enclosure, supporting compliance in hazardous areas. Additional attributes include IC411 insulation class, gas group IIC, and surrounding environmental declarations like EPD. These certifications help ensure regulatory alignment, safer operation, and a compelling return on investment through energy savings and extended service life.
