ABB 3GHL312813-BRC Motors & Drives - IE5 Ex eb SynRM
Part Number: 3GHL312813-BRC
Quick Summary
3GHL312813-BRC is a 250 kW IE5 Ex eb Synchronous Reluctance motor designed for hazardous-area drive applications. Engineers often struggle with balancing energy costs, downtime, and compatibility when upgrading from legacy motor families. Ex eb protection combined with IP55 enclosure and high-efficiency IE5 performance helps meet stringent safety and regulatory requirements in plants handling flammable atmospheres. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing installation time and risk. Selecting ABB's SynRM solution also supports sustainable operations by lowering energy use and improving thermal management, delivering longer service life and lower total cost of ownership. This aligns with reliability-driven procurement and sustainability goals in automation projects.

FAQs
The 3GHL312813-BRC is designed with IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and a 315 frame, delivering a predictable footprint for retrofit projects. This reduces alignment time, simplifies cabling, and minimizes modification requirements on existing machines, enabling quicker commissioning and fewer field errors during installation.
Key specs include 380 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 250 kW output, 4-pole configuration, and IP55 protection. The motor is IE5 rated for high efficiency and features Exeb explosion protection, suitable for hazardous-area drives in demanding industrial settings.
Yes. It features Exeb explosion protection and is built for hazardous-area applications. Additional certifications/characteristics include Gas Group IIC protection and insulation class ICFL, IP55 enclosure, and alignment with IC411 insulation standards, supporting compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements in many regions.
The motor uses durable bearings (6319/C3 with 6316/C3VL0241 NDE) and a cast-iron frame (315), delivering robust mechanical resilience. Its IE5 efficiency reduces thermal load, contributing to longer bearing life and fewer cooling cycles, which translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs in continuous-process or heavy-duty installations.
Consider footprint and mounting compatibility (IMB5/IM3001), 380 V 50 Hz electrical supply, IP55 protection, and Exeb suitability for hazardous zones. Energy savings from IE5 efficiency, extended maintenance intervals, and ABB EcoSolutions (EPD support) all contribute to a favorable lifecycle cost, especially in plants aiming for sustainability targets and reduced downtime.
