Exdb flameproof protection provides safe operation in gas-exposed zones (reducing risk to personnel and equipment) and is rated for Gas Group IIB, simplifying permits and commissioning in oil, gas, and chemical plants. This protective capability translates into minimized downtime and enhanced regulatory compliance during installation in refineries and offshore facilities. IP55 enclosure paired with IC411 insulation supports dust and water ingress resistance in harsh environments, enabling reliable operation at 50 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, which reduces site-specific cooling and cooling-related failures. IE3 efficiency (Full Load about 94.6%, Partial Load up to 94.7%) delivers tangible energy savings and lower lifecycle costs, especially for continuous-duty S1 operation. The cast-iron frame size 280, bearing 6316/C3, and IM class IMB5 IM3001 deliver rugged performance with low maintenance and long service intervals. Direction of rotation on both sides adds installation flexibility, and the overall design supports straightforward integration with standard motor control gear, easing procurement and commissioning. Designed for oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and water treatment, this motor reduces risk while boosting uptime and productivity.

FAQs
This motor is designed for hazardous-area installations, specifically Gas Group IIB with Exdb flameproof protection, and an IP55 enclosure. It supports a 280 frame with cast-iron construction and reversible rotation, enabling flexible mounting choices in oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and other heavy-industrial environments. Ensure appropriate motor starters and wiring practices meet local ATEX/IECEx requirements and plant-specific clearance for heat and noise. Compatibility with standard VFDs is possible, provided derating and protection schemes follow IEC guidelines for explosion-protected equipment.
The ABB 3GJA283240-BDDIN is a 3-phase, 6-pole motor with IE3 efficiency. The machine operates under a 50 Hz supply with a Frame 280, cast-iron housing, and a maximum ambient rating of 50 °C. It features Exdb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, and it is suitable for continuous S1 duty. The motor is configured for Gas Group IIB protection with direct-on-line and controlled-start options compatible with industry-standard motor drives.
No, this model is not rated as a two-speed motor. It is a fixed-speed, 6-pole design intended for continuous S1 duty. If speed control is required, use a compatible variable-frequency drive with proper motor protection and enclosure-rated cabling, ensuring the drive and protection devices conform to Exd/Exdb requirements for hazardous environments.
Key certifications include Exdb flameproof protection for hazardous zones, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIB compatibility. The motor utilizes IC411 insulation with an insulation class of ICLF and a temperature class of T4. It supports a 50 °C ambient rating up to 1000 m altitude and features reversible rotation. This combination provides regulatory compliance for safe installation in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations.
Energy efficiency is enhanced by IE3 performance, reducing operating costs over the motor’s lifetime. The robust cast-iron frame, 6316/C3 bearing, and IMB5 IM3001 class contribute to durable operation with longer maintenance intervals. In practice, customers see lower downtime, predictable performance in harsh environments, and a favorable total cost of ownership when deployed in continuous-duty installations such as processing plants and offshore facilities.
