3GAA161440-BDK identifies the ABB M3AA 160MLD 2, a 22 kW two-pole aluminum-frame motor from the M3AA Process Performance range. It is designed as a three-phase squirrel-cage motor with IE3 efficiency, B5 flange mounting, and a 160MLD frame size.
The motor is rated for 400/690 V operation at 50 Hz and delivers a nominal speed of approximately 2944 r/min. Its aluminum construction, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 cooling arrangement make this model suitable for general industrial motor-duty applications where a compact flange-mounted motor is required.

Electrical Performance
The 3GAA161440-BDK is a high-output version within the M3AA 160 frame family. ABB's Process Performance documentation lists the M3AA 160MLD 2 at 22 kW, 2944 r/min, with an IE3 full-load efficiency of 92.7% at 400 V, 50 Hz. The listed power factor is 0.90 and the nominal torque is approximately 71.4 Nm.
For the specific 3GAA161440-BDK version, published ABB product data gives the following operating points:
| Frequency | Voltage | Connection | Speed | Current | Power Factor | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 Hz | 400 V | Delta | 2944 r/min | 38.0 A | 0.90 | 92.7% |
| 50 Hz | 690 V | Star | 2944 r/min | 22.0 A | 0.90 | 92.7% |
| 50 Hz | 380 V | Delta | 2934 r/min | 39.6 A | 0.91 | 92.7% |
| 50 Hz | 660 V | Star | 2934 r/min | 22.8 A | 0.91 | 92.7% |
| 50 Hz | 415 V | Delta | 2949 r/min | 37.0 A | 0.89 | 92.7% |
| 60 Hz | 460 V | Delta | 3552 r/min | 32.9 A | 0.90 | 92.9% |
The 60 Hz data shown above is also listed for the specific product configuration.
Mechanical & Environmental Details
The B5 mounting arrangement uses a large flange rather than the conventional foot-mounted B3 configuration. For maintenance and replacement work, the mounting arrangement should therefore be matched carefully with the existing motor and driven machine.
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Mounting Designation | IM B5 / IM3001 |
| Enclosure Rating | IP55 |
| Cooling Method | IC411 |
| Duty Type | S1 |
| Net Weight | Approx. 131 kg |
| Gross Weight | Approx. 141 kg |
| D-End Bearing | 6309-2Z/C3 |
| N-End Bearing | 6209-2Z/C3 |
| Rotation | Both directions |
| Terminal Box Position | D-end, top |
The published product data identifies the motor as an IEC-frame, IP55, IC411 machine with a net weight of approximately 131 kg.

Where This Model Fits
3GAA161440-BDK is suited to installations requiring a 22 kW high-efficiency motor with flange mounting. Typical equipment environments for this class of industrial motor can include pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and other mechanically driven equipment, provided that the motor's rated load, mounting arrangement, operating conditions and driven-machine requirements are correctly matched.
The M3AA family covers a broad range of aluminum-frame motors, while the 160MLD 2 designation identifies this particular 22 kW, two-pole configuration. ABB's own Process Performance documentation places the 160MLD 2 in the high-output portion of the M3AA range.
Replacement Matching Points
When replacing an existing motor with 3GAA161440-BDK, several details should be checked together rather than matching only the power rating:
- ABB product ID: 3GAA161440-BDK
- Type designation: M3AA 160MLD 2
- Output: 22 kW
- Poles: 2
- Efficiency class: IE3
- Mounting: B5 flange
- Rated voltage: 400/690 V at 50 Hz
- Protection: IP55
- Cooling: IC411
- Frame size: 160MLD
The suffix is particularly important. M3AA 160MLD 2 motors are available with different mounting and voltage-code variants, so the complete ABB order code should be retained when identifying a replacement. ABB documentation uses the 3GAA161440-••K family reference for the 22 kW M3AA 160MLD 2, while the specific -BDK configuration identifies the B5-mounted version.
Related Model References
Within the same M3AA 160 two-pole family, ABB lists:
- M3AA 160MLA 2 - 11 kW
- M3AA 160MLB 2 - 15 kW
- M3AA 160MLC 2 - 18.5 kW
- M3AA 160MLD 2 - 22 kW
These models share the same general frame family but have different power ratings, so they should not be treated as interchangeable solely because their model designations are similar.
