FAQs
For the ABB 3GHL312812-BRC, plan the D connection with four poles and a 380 V supply at 50 Hz. Leverage the IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 315 frame to match standard industrial enclosures. Ensure adequate clearance for maintenance, verify IP55 enclosure protection in dusty or damp areas, and align with Ex eb safety requirements for hazardous zones to maintain compliance and uptime.
The motor delivers IE5 efficiency for full-load operation, with a rated output of 160 kW. It operates under S9 duty, at 50 Hz, with 4 poles, and maintains high efficiency across partial loads (as indicated by IE5 performance metrics). This translates to lower energy costs, improved process stability, and reduced thermal stress on drives.
Yes. The motor is Ex eb protected and rated IP55, with Gas Group IIC and Ex protection, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. The enclosure and protective features support washdown and dusty environments, while the 4-pole, 315-frame design ensures robust performance under demanding industrial conditions.
The motor adheres to IE5 efficiency class requirements, Ex eb explosion protection, and IP55 enclosure protection. It features IC411 insulation, a temperature class of T3, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility. It also carries environmental declarations and sustainability credentials, including an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Synchronous Reluctance motors.
ROI benefits derive from IE5 energy savings across heavy-load operations, reduced maintenance due to a simple SynRM topology, and long service life from robust insulation and mounting.
