FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, ensure Exde flameproof protection (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure are maintained, with a gas group IIB rating and IC 411 insulation. Use the top-mounted terminator box and IMB5/IM3001 mounting for accessible servicing. Operate at 400 V, 50 Hz with a star (Y) configuration to maximize efficiency and simplify wiring in ATEX/IECEx-compliant facilities.
Key specs include 18.5 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, two poles (2P), and a 160 frame size. The motor uses a Y configuration, with IE3 premium efficiency and an IC411 insulation class. It is designed for continuous S1 service with a 1000 m altitude rating and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP161430-BSK adheres to IEC 60034-1 standards for electric motors, provides Exde flameproof protection for hazardous environments, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation.
