IE5 efficiency and Exeb protection deliver measurable energy savings and safer operation for continuous-duty drives such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in hazardous environments. The synchronous reluctance design reduces stray losses and improves overall system efficiency, translating to lower utility bills and cooler drives in operation. This combination is particularly advantageous in process industries where uptime and energy cost control are critical, enabling finance teams to justify upgrades with clear ROI projections. The IP55 enclosure and 380 V power input at 50 Hz support reliable performance in moderately harsh ambient conditions, while maintaining compatibility with standard industrial electrical architectures and drive systems. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing installation time and on-site complexity. Cast-iron frame construction and precision bearings enhance longevity under heavy loads, minimizing maintenance cycles and spare parts demand. Ex protection (Exeb) and Gas Group IIC certification extend application boundaries to hazardous zones, ensuring compliance with stringent safety mandates. Altitude tolerance up to 1000 meters and an ambient temperature range to 40 °C further broaden deployment options, making this motor a durable, future-proof choice for long-life drives in demanding industries.

FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GHL312833-BRC, prioritize the IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and the D-configured electrical connection. Ensure adequate space for the 1521 mm length and 880 mm height, and plan for the 1533 kg net weight. Verify the 380 V, 50 Hz supply, IP55 enclosure, and Exeb protection are suitable for the site’s hazardous-area requirements. Prepare for compliant cooling and safe cable routing to maintain reliability in hazardous zones.
IE5 efficiency on the 315 kW SynRM motor yields lower electromagnetic and resistive losses compared with legacy designs, translating into meaningful energy savings over long duty cycles. At full, partial, and reduced loads, the motor maintains high efficiency levels, reducing annual energy consumption in applications like conveyors, pumps, and mixers. The net result is lower energy bills, reduced heat rejection, and extended equipment life via cooler operation.
Yes. The 3GHL312833-BRC is rated Exeb for explosion-protected environments and carries Gas Group IIC protection, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous zones, enabling use in industries such as mining and chemical processing. Ensure the installation complies with local ATEX/IECEx requirements and that the mounting and cooling provisions meet site-specific safety standards.
retrofit is facilitated by the IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and a 315 frame size. Confirm the drive’s D-connection and electrical parameters align with the existing VFDs and motor starters. The robust cast iron frame and standard mounting footprint help minimize mechanical modifications, while the Exeb protection supports ongoing compliance during retrofit in hazardous environments.
Plan for standard preventive maintenance on bearings (6319/C3 and 6316/C3VL0241) and inspection of Ex protection integrity. The high IE5 efficiency reduces energy-related operating costs, contributing to a favorable ROI even with a higher initial capital outlay. Long intervals between maintenance, coupled with robust IP55 protection and a durable IMB5/IM3001 setup, support predictable downtime and lower total cost of ownership.
