FAQs
Installation relies on the IMB3/IM1001 mounting scheme and the D connection configuration. Before mounting, verify frame size 315, 4-pole configuration and alignment with the drive shaft. Ensure proper mounting hardware, torque settings, and wiring layout conform to 400 V, 50 Hz supply, IP55 protection, and Exeb safety requirements to achieve safe, reliable operation.
The motor operates at 400 V with a 50 Hz supply, delivering 160 kW output. It has a 315 frame, 4 poles, and a 370 V operating voltage. It is designed for IP55 protection, Exeb explosion protection, and IEC IE5 efficiency, making it suitable for continuous heavy-duty duty cycles in industrial plants.
Yes. The ABB 3GHL312233-ADC features Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure, with gas group IIC suitability. It aligns with IE5 efficiency targets and ICFL insulation, supporting safe operation in chemical, oil & gas, and mining facilities while meeting relevant industry standards and optimization for lifecycle costs.
The motor is certified IE5 for full-load efficiency, with reported full-load efficiency around 97% and similar partial-load values. This high efficiency translates to lower energy consumption in continuous operation. Performance is validated under 50 Hz operation at 400 V, with a 160 kW output and a 4-pole, 315 frame configuration.
Expect reduced energy costs from IE5 efficiency and robust Ex protection to minimize unplanned downtime in hazardous environments. The design uses durable bearings (6319/C3 with 6316/C3VL0241) and IMB3 mounting for long service life, while the 315 frame and IP55 enclosure ease maintenance and retrofit projects, contributing to a favorable return on investment over the motor’s lifecycle.
