FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GHL312833-BEC, verify frame size 315 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, ensuring adequate space for the Terminator Box at the D-End top and proper orientation for safe electrical connections. Use the D connection configuration and align bearings per 6319/C3 with NDE 6316/C3VL0241 to minimize misalignment and vibration.
At 500 V and 50 Hz, the motor delivers 315 kW with IE5 efficiency. Full-load efficiency is 97.2%, with 75% load at 97.0% and 50% load around 96.4%. This translates to lower electrical losses, improved energy usage, and more stable torque delivery in continuous process applications like conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The motor features Ex eb protection with gas group IIC and IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous zones. It also supports safety-compliant operation in chemical, oil & gas, and mining settings, while maintaining robust performance in tough plant environments.
Ex eb protection and IIC gas group classification address regulatory and safety requirements for ignition-prone areas. This reduces ignition risk during maintenance and operation, enabling safer inspections and longer intervals between service events, provided standard electrical safety protocols are observed.
The combination of IE5 efficiency, reliable SynRM technology, and robust enclosure minimizes energy costs and maintenance frequency. Expect improved uptime, lower energy bills, and longer service intervals in demanding processes such as metals processing, cement milling, and large-scale pumping, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.
