Feature → Business Impact → Application: The motor delivers IE5 efficiency at full load (96.8%) and maintains high efficiency across partial loads (96.8% at 75%, 96.0% at 50%), reducing energy consumption in continuous operation and variable load scenarios. This translates to measurable operating cost savings in pumps, fans, and conveyors where energy intensity is high. Application: chemical processing and mining facilities seeking lower energy bills without sacrificing torque or control fidelity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ex protection (Exeb) and IIC gas group enable safe operation in potentially explosive environments, minimizing the risk of ignition and supporting regulatory compliance. Application: hazardous area installations in oil and gas, chemical, and mining sectors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation class provide reliable protection against dust and moisture while sustaining insulation integrity in hot or dusty shops. Application: manufacturing floors, material handling, and mortar/aggregate plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Frame 315, cast iron construction, bearings 6319/C3, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting ensure robust mechanical integrity, easy alignment, and durable service intervals. Application: heavy‑duty conveyors, extruders, and large pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 380 V, 50 Hz operation with a 4‑pole design and D‑connection supports straightforward integration with standard ABB drives and switchgear, reducing commissioning time. Application: general purpose synchronous reluctance motor applications in new or upgrade projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: EcoSolutions and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provide transparency on sustainability and end‑of‑life considerations, aiding supplier qualification and compliance reporting. Application: corporate sustainability initiatives and green procurement programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient tolerance extend usable environments for outdoor or elevated facilities, improving site flexibility.

FAQs
For hazardous areas, install the motor with Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure to prevent ignition risks and ingress of dust or moisture. Use the D‑connection configuration and ensure the Terminal Box is accessible at the D‑End top for safe wiring. Mounting should follow IMB5/IM3001 guidelines to maintain alignment and cooling.
IE5 efficiency indicates very high energy performance, with Full Load (100%) at 96.8% efficiency, and similar performance at 75% load. This reduces energy consumption during steady operation and peak loads, delivering lower electricity costs and supporting sustainability targets across pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes, the product is specified for S9 duty with a 4‑pole design and 160 kW output, making it appropriate for continuous heavy workloads such as conveyors and mixers. The Exeb protection and robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting support reliable operation under challenging load profiles and environmental conditions.
The motor features Exeb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency. It adheres to IC411 insulation class, uses a 4‑pole cast iron frame, and is compatible with ABb mounting standards (IMB5/IM3001). Additional sustainability notes include an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors and Finland origin.
With a robust cast iron frame, high‑reliability bearings (6319/C3), and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, maintenance intervals are predictable and downtime is minimized. The IE5 efficiency reduces energy costs, and Exeb protection lowers risk‑related expenditures in hazardous zones. The 3GHL312233‑BRC supports long service life and easier integration with ABB drive systems.
