FAQs
The 3GHL312233-BDC is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz operation with a D connection configuration. It delivers 160 kW in a 315 frame with 4 poles, and is ready for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, simplifying integration into standard industrial power and control schemes.
This motor features Exeb protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous areas (gas group IIC). Plan for proper terminal box accessibility at the D-End top, ensure adequate cooling at 40 °C ambient, and verify mounting on IMB5/IM3001 bases to maintain compliance and reliability.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency class, delivering full-load efficiency around 97.1% at 100% load and high partial-load efficiency around 96% at 75% load. This level supports meaningful energy savings across typical duty cycles in industrial plants.
No. The 3GHL312233-BDC is a single-speed, S9 duty synchronous reluctance motor with a 4-pole configuration. If dual-speed is required, consider alternative motor options or external variable-frequency drive strategies to achieve varied torque profiles.
Key factors include a cast-iron frame, robust bearings (6319/C3 with NDE 6316/C3VL0241), and IMB5/IM3001 mounting for durable installation. IE5 efficiency lowers energy costs, IP55/Exeb protection reduces fault-related downtime, and the 1000 m altitude tolerance supports deployments in diverse facilities.
