ABB 3GJA312840-BDP 3-Phase Motor - Exdb Flameproof

Exdb flameproof protection is a core feature that minimizes ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, enabling safe operation across hazardous zones worldwide and under tight regulatory scrutiny. The combination of Gas Group IIB and IP55 protection supports reliable performance in chemical processing and oil and gas facilities, even under dusty or humid plant conditions. This makes the motor well suited for demanding fans, pumps, and conveyors in critical production lines where uptime matters, safety is non-negotiable, and maintenance windows are limited. IE4 energy efficiency is evidenced by full-load percentages at 50 and 60 Hz, delivering tangible energy savings over long operating hours in continuous duty deployments. Lower energy consumption translates into reduced operating costs and improved sustainability credentials for regulated or high-demand facilities, which helps with emissions reporting and utility incentives. Engineers value IE4 for continuous-duty drives such as pumps, fans, and compressors operating in harsh conditions without sacrificing performance, particularly when lifecycle costs are under scrutiny. Robust mechanical build uses a cast-iron frame and a 315 frame size to withstand vibration and heat in industrial settings, delivering rugged performance in OEM installations. Premium bearings 6319/C3 and 6316/C3 reduce wear, extend service life, and lower maintenance cycles in high-load applications, even in high-temperature environments. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and D-End top terminator box simplify installation, wiring, and future servicing, reducing field labor and commissioning time. Direction of rotation on both sides adds mounting flexibility, facilitating retrofits and reversible drives without reconfiguring the entire line, which reduces downtime during upgrades. Terminal box location at the D-End top streamlines field connections, saving installation time in panel-heavy environments and enabling easier cable management. Minimum order quantity and Made To Order status inform procurement planning, enabling lean stock and predictable supply chains while supporting global sourcing. Industrial compatibility includes 315 frame components, IP55 protection, and Exdb for safe integration with ABB automation systems, ensuring consistent performance across critical assets. The motor’s weight and dimensions align with standard mounting footprints, reducing engineering redesigns and optimizing onboarding of new assets within existing plants. Gas group IIB, insulation class ICLF, and temperature class T4 provide regulatory alignment for global hazardous-area deployments, simplifying cross-border sourcing and compliance reporting.
