FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GHL312412-BUC with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, use the IMB5/IM3001 compliant framework and ensure alignment with the 315 frame size. Position the terminal box for D-End top access and verify adequate clearances for service and cooling. Confirm motor is wired in Y connection at 690 V and follow manufacturer torque guidelines for mounting bolts to maintain IP55 integrity and Ex eb protection.
Key specs include 132 kW output at 690 V, 50 Hz, 4 poles, and IE5 efficiency. The motor runs in a Y configuration with an operating voltage around 650 V under load. At full and partial loads, IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption and operating costs, delivering improved performance for continuous-duty applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors in automated plants.
Yes. The motor is Ex eb protected for hazardous areas with gas group IIC classification and IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for chemical processing environments. Its robustness, coupled with high efficiency, helps meet safety and reliability requirements while minimizing risk of ignition sources and dust ingress in demanding process applications.
The machine offers Ex eb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency, aligning with modern safety and energy standards. It uses a cast-iron frame (Frame 315), cast-iron reliability, IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, and a Y connection.
