ABB 3GHL312813-BDC 3Phase Synchronous Reluctance IE5 Ex eb
Part Number: 3GHL312813-BDC
Quick Summary
3GHL312813-BDC is a 250 kW synchronous reluctance motor for demanding industrial drives. Engineers face a constant trade-off between efficiency, safety, and reliability in hazardous environments. This motor delivers IE5 energy performance and Ex eb explosion protection with IP55 enclosure, helping you meet stringent standards while minimizing lifecycle costs. With a cast-iron frame, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and reliable operation up to 40 °C at 1000 m altitude, it reduces maintenance intervals and uptime risks. The 4-pole design supports robust torque and scalable integration into automated systems, making it suitable for pumps, fans, and compressors in chemical, oil & gas, and mining facilities. This combination translates to lower total cost of ownership across mission-critical processes.

FAQs
Install the motor in zones permitted for Ex protection with Exeb devices, using the IP55 enclosure and a D connection configuration to minimize ingress. Accepts 400 V, 50 Hz, 4-pole input with a 315 frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. The terminator box is located at the D-End top for compact, accessible wiring in constrained spaces.
IE5 efficiency for this motor is specified as Full Load (100%) at 97.1% efficiency, Partial Load (75%) at 96.7%, and 50% load at 95.7%. These values demonstrate strong energy performance across typical load profiles, delivering meaningful energy savings in variable-torque applications when paired with appropriate VFD control.
Yes. The model uses Ex eb protection with gas group IIC, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, designed for hazardous environments. With a 250 kW output at 400 V, 50 Hz, and 4 poles, it provides reliable torque and uptime for pumps, fans, and compressors in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining applications.
Key compliance features include IE5 efficiency, Exeb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and insulation class ICLF. Additional attributes include IC411 thermal class, gas group IIC, and a 1000 m altitude rating. While CE labeling is common, these specifications collectively support safe operation and long-term reliability in hazardous zones.
ROI is driven by high IE5 efficiency across load ranges, reducing energy costs in continuous drive scenarios. The robust cast-iron construction and Ex eb/IP55 protection lower downtime and maintenance needs, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s life. A site-specific assessment will quantify payback based on load profile and duty cycle.
