The IE5 synchronous reluctance core design delivers high efficiency at both full and partial loads, reducing energy bills for continuous 24/7 operation and lowering total cost of ownership in heavy-duty processes. This motor’s Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure enable safe operation in hazardous environments, supporting compliance with explosive atmosphere requirements and minimizing risk during maintenance in chemical plants or oil & gas facilities. With a 4-pole configuration and a 690 V, 50 Hz supply, it provides robust starting torque and smooth speed control for high-torque drives like pumps, compressors, and conveyors, while the Y connection simplifies wiring and reduces installation time. The IMB3/IM1001 terminator box mounting and D-End top orientation improve serviceability and heat dissipation in confined spaces, reducing downtime during cabinet-access work. Cast-iron frame, frame size 315, and a 1000 m altitude rating enhance durability and reliability in challenging production floors. The motor’s 250 kW rating, IP55 protection, and the IE5 data set a clear baseline for energy-saving projects in facilities targeting modernisation and sustainability targets. ABB’s EcoSolutions and the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) further support lifecycle transparency, enabling procurement teams to demonstrate sustainable procurement without sacrificing performance. Compatibility with standard industrial drives, plus a well-documented supply chain origin from Finland, helps maintain consistent lead times and spare-parts availability, a critical factor for long-cycle projects. This combination of efficiency, safety, and reliability makes the 3GHL312813-AUC a practical choice for regulated industries seeking predictable performance in demanding environments.

FAQs
This motor is rated Exeb with IP55 protection and supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting. It uses a Y connection and D-End top terminator box, simplifying wiring and service access. For hazardous locations, ensure correct adherence to explosion-protection requirements and maintain clearance around the D-End box to preserve cooling and inspection access.
The 250 kW SynRM design delivers IE5 efficiency with a Full Load around 97.0%, and 75%/50% loads near 96.8% and 96.1%, respectively. In practical terms, that means meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications like pumps or conveyors, especially when operated at steady speeds in process lines.
Yes. It features Exeb explosion protection, IIC gas group classification, and IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous environments. The motor’s insulation and insulation class (ICLF) support stable operation under elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, while IMB3 mounting improves reliability in tough plant conditions.
Ideal for high-torque, high-efficiency drives in pumps, compressors, and conveyors at 690 V, 50 Hz. The 4-pole design provides robust starting torque, and the Y connection simplifies installation in standard motor-control schemes. With 315 frame and cast-iron construction, it’s well-suited for demanding continuous-duty scenarios in process and manufacturing facilities.
Because the motor runs at IE5 efficiency, energy costs are lower across long-duty cycles, contributing to faster payback on modernization projects. The Exeb rating and IP55 enclosure reduce maintenance exposure in hazardous zones, while robust frame and mounting options minimize downtime during routine servicing and replacements. Long-term, you gain safer operation, higher uptime, and better lifecycle transparency with ABB’s EPD and EcoSolutions initiatives.
