Flameproof Exdb protection with IP66 enclosure provides inherently safer operation in hazardous atmospheres, reducing the risk of ignition and enabling compliant installations in mines and processing plants. This directly translates to higher uptime and lower maintenance interrupts, supporting safer, uninterrupted production lines. The IE3 Premium Efficiency rating improves energy performance across full-load and partial-load conditions, cutting electricity bills and thermal stress on drive systems as production scales. The motor’s 90 kW output at 500 V in a 2-pole, frame size 280 configuration offers reliable torque characteristics for heavy lifts and conveyor drives, while the D connection configuration simplifies electrical wiring and commissioning during installation. Cast Iron frame, 6316/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting enhance durability in vibration-prone environments, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs. Altitude up to 1000 m and 40 °C ambient tolerance provide broad regional applicability, including high-altitude mining sites. The Exdb protection, IP66 enclosure, and flameproof design together guarantee compliance with hazardous-area standards, easing procurement and installer validation. With Finland-origin manufacturing and a 1-piece minimum order, it supports scalable procurement and predictable lead times for project planning. Compatibility with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 500 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz operation ensures seamless integration with existing drive trains and switchgear, minimizing integration risk and accelerating commissioning.

FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GJM281230-AEL, ensure the IMB3/IM1001 mounting alignment, proper terminal box access at the D-End top, and corrosion-protected connections. Use the 500 V, 50/60 Hz supply, and verify IP66 enclosure integrity for dust and water ingress protection. The flameproof Exdb rating requires certified installation practices and adherence to explosion-protected area standards.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy losses during full-load and partial-load operation, lowering electricity consumption and heat generation. At 50 Hz, Full Load efficiency is typically around 95% in this class, with similar or slightly lower performance at 60 Hz. This translates to meaningful annual energy savings, especially on long-running mining drives and conveyors.
Yes. The motor is designed for hazardous environments with Exdb flameproof protection and an IP66 enclosure. This combination supports safe operation in explosive atmospheres and protects against dust and water ingress. Compliance is further reinforced by EN/IEC standards for explosion-protected equipment and robust mechanical design suitable for mining applications.
The motor uses a D-connection configuration and is sized for a 2-pole, 90 kW, frame 280 installation. It supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 500 V, 50/60 Hz supply. Ensure the terminal box is accessible for maintenance, and verify mounting surface rigidity to optimize vibration tolerance and bearing life.
The Exdb flameproof design, IP66 protection, and rugged Cast Iron frame contribute to extended service life in harsh environments, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Premium IE3 efficiency lowers energy bills, while reliable bearings (6316/C3) and robust mounting minimize unexpected failures. Overall, expect lower total cost of ownership through longer intervals between service and steady performance in demanding mining operations.
