ABB 3GGP404830-AEK 3GP3__M3GP_IE3_CI - Dust Ignition Proof
Part Number: 3GGP404830-AEK
Quick Summary
ABB 3GGP404830-AEK 3GP3__M3GP_IE3_CI motor is a dust-ignition‑proof, IE3 efficient three‑phase motor for rugged industrial plants. In dusty or high-temperature environments, operators often struggle with reliability, downtime, and noncompliance with safety standards. This design delivers IE3 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation, enabling safer operation and longer service intervals. Coupled with IMB3 IM1001 mounting and top-box termination, it simplifies installation and maintenance across ABB motors and drives ecosystems. The 500 V, 50 Hz supply and 8-pole configuration support high-load performance while protecting uptime in OEM and end-user facilities. This combination helps reduce energy costs, lowers total cost of ownership, and streamlines procurement and spare-part planning.

FAQs
For dusty environments, ensure the IP55 enclosure is intact and clear of obstructions, and use the top terminator box for wiring access to minimize dust ingress. The unit is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz operation with a D connection, eight poles, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting. Plan for up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient conditions to maintain rated performance and reliability.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 400 kW output with IE3 efficiency. Full-load efficiency is 94.6% (100% load), 94.8% at 75% load, and 94.4% at 50% load. These figures support sustained energy savings in continuous operation (S1) and help justify TCO reductions in large-scale drive systems.
Yes. The motor features Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, making it suitable for hazardous zones when installed per applicable standards. It also carries IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, providing robust safety margins in dusty or explosive environments such as mining or chemical processing facilities.
Key certifications include IE3 energy efficiency, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and Ex protection (Exec) for hazardous locations. The unit is rated for 8 poles, frame size 400, and operates at 500 V, 50 Hz. Origin is Finland, tariff code 85015394, with a comprehensive safety and performance profile.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings due to IE3 efficiency and reduced downtime thanks to robust cast-iron construction, IP55 protection, and Ex certification. Maintenance considerations include inspecting bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), monitoring IMB3/IM1001 mounting integrity, and periodic checks of the top termination and cooling path to sustain the rated 40 °C ambient performance.
