Flameproof Exdbeb protection directly translates to safer operation in hazardous environments, reducing risk and expediting regulatory compliance by design. This enables longer motor life in challenging atmospheres and lowers total cost of ownership by minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance spikes. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings in continuous S1 duty, supporting lower operating costs across the motor’s life and improving sustainability metrics for plant-wide energy programs. The 2-pole, frame size 160 configuration provides high torque at start-up while maintaining a compact footprint, simplifying retrofits and new installs in tight equipment spaces. An IP55 enclosure seals the motor against dust and water ingress, increasing reliability in dusty or damp facilities. The Y connection, 400 V supply, and 50 Hz operation align with standard electrical infrastructure, enabling plug-and-play integration with existing control panels and drives. Installation compatibility with IMB3/IM1001 mounting reduces commissioning time and minimizes structural alterations. Altitude up to 1000 m and ambient operation up to 40 °C are accounted for in thermal design, ensuring consistent performance in diverse geographic sites. The motor’s Ex protection and IIB gas group certifications help meet stringent industry safety requirements, making it suitable for chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments. Finally, Finland origin supports consistent supply chain and product traceability for regulated procurement processes.

FAQs
The installation guidance for the 3GKP161430-ASK emphasizes Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 sealing. Use the IMB3/IM1001 mounting, ensure correct Y-configuration of a 400 V supply, and verify ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C. Adhere to local ATEX/IECEx wiring standards and perform final integrity tests after mounting to confirm compliance and safe operation.
Key electrical specs include a 400 V, 50 Hz input, 2-pole design, IE3 premium efficiency, and IC411 insulation with an IP55 enclosure. The motor operates in a Y connection, supports 18.5 kW output, and is suitable for S1 continuous duty. It carries Exdbeb hazard protections and a Gas Group IIB rating for hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor is rated IE3 for premium efficiency under 50 Hz operation, delivering measurable energy savings in continuous S1 duty. This reduces energy costs over the motor’s life while maintaining stable torque and performance in standard 400 V electrical installations.
The motor meets IEC 60034-1 standards, has Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones, and carries IP55 protection. It is designed for Gas Group IIB and IC411 insulation, with a frame size of 160 and an IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, which supports regulatory compliance and safe operation in industrial facilities.
The Exdbeb flameproof design reduces downtime and compliance delays in hazardous areas, while IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs. With robust mounting compatibility and durable cast-iron frame, maintenance intervals can be extended, lowering lifecycle costs and improving plant-wide return on investment for hazardous-area drives.
