The motor delivers IE5 energy efficiency, which directly translates to lower operating costs and cooler running temperatures across long-running drives such as conveyors and process equipment. This improved efficiency reduces heat load on drive electronics and cooling systems, enabling longer maintenance intervals and reduced energy bills in heavy industry facilities. In hazardous environments, Ex eb explosion protection and IP55 enclosure expand safe application into chemical, mining, and bulk-handling operations without compromising performance. The 4-pole design paired with a frame size 315 ensures predictable torque and smooth acceleration for demanding material handling stays within process tolerances; mounting on IMB3/IM1001 simplifies retrofits and new installations alike. The 500 V, 50 Hz input aligns with standard industrial mains, enabling economical multi-motor installations with a common electrical architecture. Insulation class ICLF and surface-mounted bearings deliver reliable operation at 40 °C ambient temperatures, up to 1000 m altitude, with maintenance-friendly bearings (6319/C3 and 6316/C3VL0241) supporting extended service life. Overall, the motor’s robust construction and protective features reduce risk of downtime, support compliance (IC411, IE5, IP55), and improve total cost of ownership in harsh production environments.

FAQs
Yes. The 3GHL312222-AEC is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting, which simplifies retrofit projects and new installations by aligning with standard ABB and OEM mounting footprints. When planning retrofit, verify frame size (315) and the terminator box location (D-End top) to ensure clean cable routing and minimum enclosure modifications.
The motor achieves IE5 efficiency, providing near-maximum full-load efficiency at 90 kW. It operates under S9 duty, a continuous-time duty cycle suitable for demanding processes such as conveyors and processing lines. With IP55 protection and Ex eb certification, it maintains performance in dusty or hazardous environments without sacrificing uptime.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL312222-AEC features Exeb protection (explosion protection) and is designed for hazardous area applications. Combine Ex eb protection with IP55 enclosure for robust operation in mining, chemical, and other sectors where dust and explosive atmospheres are concerns. Always verify local compliance requirements and installation practices.
Key certifications and ratings include IE5 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, Exeb explosion protection, IC411 insulation class, and a 4-pole, 90 kW configuration. The motor also supports standard mains of 500 V at 50 Hz and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Compliance with these specs helps streamline procurement, safety permitting, and long-term maintenance planning.
ROI is driven by IE5 energy savings, reduced cooling load, and lower maintenance frequency due to robust construction and reliable bearings. The 90 kW rating paired with Ex protection and IP55 enclosure minimizes downtime in hazardous environments. When integrated with existing ABB drive systems or OEM configurations, the motor can reduce total cost of ownership across its lifecycle.
