The 75 kW SynRM design delivers IE5 efficiency, reducing energy costs in continuous-duty applications and improving overall plant profitability while maintaining strong torque at starting and during variable-speed operation for conveyors, pumps, and fans. The Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure enable safe operation in hazardous areas with gas group IIC, while maintaining reliability in dusty or damp environments—critical for chemical, oil & gas, and metals processing facilities. The robust mechanical build uses a cast iron frame (315) with bearings 6319/C3 and a 6316/C3VL0241 NDE, paired with IMB5/IM3001 mounting to support long service life and straightforward retrofits. Star connection (Y) at 690 V and 50 Hz simplifies electrical integration with standard ABB drives, enabling quick commissioning and reduced installation risk. With a weight of 873 kg net and 893 kg gross, the unit fits large-scale, high-torque applications while offering lifecycle advantages through ABB EcoSolutions and a clear path to compliant end-of-life documentation.

FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and supports a star (Y) connection in a 690 V, 50 Hz system. Frame size 315 with a D-End top terminator box location simplifies integration into existing footprints. Plan for a 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient rating to ensure cooling and insulation margins. This configuration also aligns with standard ABB drive interfaces for straightforward commissioning.
IE5 efficiency reflects very high energy performance at both full and partial loads. For a 75 kW motor, full-load efficiency is around 96.4%, with 75% load at ~96.3% and 50% load at ~95.7%. In practical terms, this reduces operating energy costs in continuous or variable-speed duty, improves process stability, and lowers cooling requirements for pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL312212-BUC features Exeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. It’s compatible with gas group IIC environments and has insulation and design provisions (ICLF) suitable for demanding industries such as oil, gas, and chemical processing. Always verify local compliance and installation standards for your facility.
Synchronous reluctance motors inherently offer robust reliability with simple mechanicals, reducing maintenance intervals compared with wound-rotor or induction variants in some duty profiles. The Exeb rating and IP55 enclosure protect internal components from hazardous environments and dust, while the cast-iron frame and bearings (6319/C3, 6316/C3VL0241) support long service life under tough conditions. ABB EcoSolutions further supports lifecycle cost reduction through optimized energy and end-of-life solutions.
Consider 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a star connection, frame 315, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting for compatibility. Ensure ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m are respected, and verify insulation class ICFL. Ensure correct terminal wiring in the D-End box and confirm alignment with your process controls and ABB drive ecosystem for safe, efficient commissioning and ongoing performance.
