FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection at 400 V and is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, allowing straightforward integration with common VFDs and switchgear. Its frame 160 and IP55 enclosure support reliable installation in rugged environments, while its cast-iron frame resists vibration. Ensure duty is S1 and altitude does not exceed 1000 m for optimal cooling. Pre-check cable routing and protection against dust and moisture per IP55 guidelines.
The unit delivers 15 kW output with a 2-pole configuration at 50 Hz and 400 V. It is an IE3 premium efficiency motor, with IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for hazardous zones. Operates under S1 duty with a frame size 160 and a 2-pole design, enabling strong torque characteristics for steady loads in demanding lines.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP161420-BSL features Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for gas group IIB environments and is designed to IEC 60034-1 compliant electrical performance. It carries IP55 for enclosure protection and IC411 insulation with a Temperature Class T4. This makes it appropriate for chemical, mining, and oil & gas applications where explosion risk exists.
Plan for regular inspection of mounting and bearing integrity (6309/C3), verify enclosure integrity (IP55), and confirm insulation performance (ICLF) under ambient 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude. The motor’s S1 duty supports continuous operation, and its flameproof rating requires adherence to hazardous-area installation standards and periodic protective-casing checks per local regulations.
The IE3 premium efficiency rating reduces running energy costs over the motor’s life, delivering measurable savings in continuous processes. Durable cast-iron frame and robust Ex-protection minimize maintenance and replacement intervals in harsh environments. Compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 400 V supply helps shorten installation time and improves uptime, supporting a favorable ROI in processing and mining operations.
