FAQs
Yes. The ABB 3GHL312233-BEC uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a 315 frame, facilitating retrofit or new installations. It features a D-end top box location and robust bearings (6319/C3) to simplify alignment and maintain service intervals. Ensure compatible coupling, drive alignment, and a suitable control cabinet layout to optimize accessibility and cable routing.
Key specs include 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, 160 kW output, 4 poles, and a 315 frame. The motor is IP55 and Ex eb rated, with IE5 efficiency and IC411 insulation. The product supports D connection, ambient up to 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m, making it compatible with typical factory power systems and ABB drive architectures.
Yes. It features Ex eb explosion protection and an IIC gas group rating, aligning with ATEX/IECEx standards. This makes the motor appropriate for hazardous environments such as chemical processing, paints and coatings, and other areas where ignition risk exists, while maintaining high efficiency and reliable operation.
The IE5 efficiency class yields lower energy consumption and reduced cooling requirements, improving uptime in continuous-duty applications. Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure enhance safety and reduce enclosure-related failures. Combined with SynRM reliability and ABB drive integration, this translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s life.
