Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flameproof Ex protection Exdbeb provides intrinsic safety in hazardous zones, helping you meet regulatory requirements while preventing ignition risk. This reduces risk-related downtime and accelerates commissioning in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore facilities. Feature → Application: IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings at full and partial loads, lowering operating costs and improving sustainability metrics across 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems. Use this motor in continuous-duty drives for pump and fan assemblies in wastewater treatment or mineral processing to maximize return on investment. Feature → Application: IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulationteam together for moisture, dust, and heat resilience, extending service intervals and protecting critical components in dusty plants or humid environments such as plating lines or washing systems. Feature → Application: Cast-iron frame size 132 with 6208-2Z/C3 bearings and IMB3/IM1001 mounting offers rugged durability and straightforward retrofits, reducing installation time and compatibility concerns with existing SKF/NSK bearing standards in mining conveyors or chemical feeders. Feature → Application: 6-pole, 3-phase, 500 V, 50 Hz, D connection, and direction of rotation on both sides provide flexible integration into existing drive trains, enabling smoother motor swaps and simplified wiring in mixed-fleet plants. Feature → Application: Operating up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude with Ex protection supports reliable operation in remote or high-temperature sites such as offshore platforms or arid processing facilities, while keeping a compact footprint for space-constrained installations.

FAQs
Installations must follow local ATEX/IECEx requirements. Use Ex-rated electrical connections, lockout-tagout procedures, and ensure the motor is mounted in IMB3/IM1001 configurations with the D connection. Verify ambient limits (up to 40 C, 1000 m) and confirm IP55 protection against dust and water ingress. Ensure proper grounding and flameproof enclosure integrity during assembly and startup.
The motor delivers 3 kW at 500 V and 50 Hz with IE3 efficiency. It is a 6-pole, 3-phase machine with Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure. It uses a D connection configuration, supports direction of rotation on both sides, and operates under S1 duty in hazardous environments.
Yes. The 3GKP133240-AEK features Exdbeb flameproof protection and is suited for IIB gas groups. Its IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation class further support safe operation in ATEX zones, enabling compliant installations in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces losses during full-load and partial-load operation, lowering energy consumption and operating costs over the motor’s life. In demanding processes like pumping and aeration, these savings translate into shorter payback periods, especially when deployed across multiple lines or in retrofit projects seeking efficiency upgrades.
With a cast-iron frame (132) and bearings 6208-2Z/C3, plan for periodic bearing lubrication and inspection per manufacturer guidelines. The IMB3/IM1001 mounting option simplifies retrofits, and the 6-pole design aligns with standard drive trains. Maintain ambient and environmental limits, confirm wiring with D configuration, and ensure regular inspection of Ex protection integrity during routine maintenance.
