ABB 3GLP311820-BDG 3-Phase motor - IE2 IP55 Water-cooled

Feature → Business Impact → Application. The aluminum frame (frame size 315) provides a lightweight yet robust housing that improves handling during installation and reduces overall machine weight, enabling easier integration into compact equipment and consolidating maintenance plans for conveyors and pumps. This contributes to lower lifecycle costs while maintaining high mechanical integrity in demanding environments. IP55 protection shields the motor from dust and water splash, increasing uptime in wash-down areas and outdoor facilities, ideal for pumps, cooling systems, and compressors in harsh plants. IE2 efficiency reduces energy consumption at full and partial loads, delivering measurable operating cost savings in continuous-duty applications and helping meet energy compliance targets in industrial facilities. The top terminator box location simplifies wiring and future servicing, shortening downtime during motor swaps or refurbishments and supporting safer, faster installation in tight motor enclosures. The 2-pole design with water-cooled motor IE2 compatibility supports high torque at start-up with compact footprint, making it suitable for IT cooling loops, industrial fans, and hydraulic drives where space is constrained. Built for 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, this motor maintains performance in high-elevation facilities and hot climates, reducing overdesign and supporting consistent process control. The 6316/C3 bearing arrangement and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class provide dependable alignment and life-cycle endurance in rotating equipment, from mixers to kilns, minimizing unplanned maintenance and shock loads. The 315KHB designation and aluminum frame further facilitate high-reliability installation in OEM equipment where weight, corrosion resistance, and thermal management are critical for total cost of ownership optimization.
