ABB 3GKP133230-BDL 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - Exde Flameproof
Part Number: 3GKP133230-BDL
Quick Summary
ABB 3GKP133230-BDL is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for hazardous environments in process industries. In practice, engineers often struggle to source a rugged, compliant motor that meets Exde flameproof protection, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation without sacrificing uptime. This design combines robust enclosure with flameproof Exde protection for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, while maintaining reliable performance under demanding ambient conditions. Key specs like 6 poles, IE3 efficiency, and a cast iron frame support long service life, predictable maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership. For procurement teams, it translates to safer installations, energy savings, and easier compliance across regulated facilities.

FAQs
The 3GKP133230-BDL is designed for Exde flameproof zones with a cast iron 132 frame. It features a D-End top terminator box to simplify wiring and service access, enabling safe and code-compliant installation in hazardous areas. For mounting, ensure alignment with standard 132 frame baseplates and verify compatibility with your driven equipment’s coupling and shaft dimensions. Consider ambient temperature limits (40 °C) and altitude (up to 1000 m) during site planning to ensure continuous cooling and optimal performance.
This motor delivers IE3-rated full-load efficiency at 86.8%, with 75% load at 86.3% and 50% load around 83.9%. In practical terms, higher efficiency reduces energy costs for continuous-duty applications such as pumps and fans, improving total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle and contributing to lower CO2 emissions in energy-intensive environments.
Yes. The motor is rated Exde for flameproof protection and specified for Gas Group IIB, making it suitable for offshore and chemical processing environments where explosive atmospheres may exist. Pairing Exde protection with IP55 and IC411 insulation ensures both enclosure safety and insulation integrity under variable operating conditions.
Key specifications include IC411 insulation class and ICFL designation, IP55 protection, and Exde flameproof protection. These features support compliance with hazardous-area standards and enable usage in challenging environments. The combination of high-durability bearings (6208-2Z/C3) and a cast iron frame further reinforces reliability under demanding process conditions.
The 132-frame, cast iron construction with robust bearings and a D-End top box reduces maintenance downtime and wear-related failures. Its 98 kg net weight and 103 kg gross weight indicate a sturdy, long-life design suitable for challenging installations. Combined with IP55 and Exde protection, the motor delivers predictable, lower maintenance costs and improved return on investment over standard open motors.
