ABB 3GKP161410-AEK 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - Exdbeb IE3

Ex protection and hazardous-area compliance are at the core of this motor, with Exdbeb protection and a rugged IP55 enclosure that guard against dust and moisture in ATEX zones. The business impact is enhanced safety and reduced risk of ignition, enabling uptime in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations where explosive atmospheres can occur. In practice, this means fewer site deviations, faster commissioning, and ongoing regulatory alignment during plant maintenance. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings at both full and partial loads; at 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 91.2%, with even better performance at 75% load (91.7%), translating into lower operating costs and cooler running temperatures in long-running drives. This supports a lower total cost of ownership and better heat management in critical processes. The motor’s IP55 enclosure, ambient rating of 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m ensure dependable performance in rugged plant floors and outdoor installations, reducing the need for premium climate control and enclosure upgrades. Insulation class ICLF and IEC 60034-1 compliance further guarantee safe operation under modest overload and thermal cycling conditions, while a cast-iron frame (160) provides robust mechanical resilience for ongoing duty. The 2-pole, 11 kW rating, and 500 V / 50 Hz input simplify specification across new builds, retrofits, or expansions, with IMB3/IM1001 mounting support reducing installation complexity and enabling straightforward maintenance. Direction of rotation on both sides adds flexibility for conveyors, fans, or pump trains without additional hardware changes. Built to operate in demanding process environments, this motor supports reliable long-term performance with minimal unscheduled downtime.
