Flameproof Exdbeb protection → Enhanced safety in hazardous environments translates to reduced risk of ignition incidents and compliant operation in gas groups IIB, enabling installation in chemical and petrochemical facilities. This directly lowers potential downtime costs and insurance overhead, while simplifying regulatory adherence in sensitive zones. IE3 Premium Efficiency → Higher electrical efficiency lowers operating costs over the motor’s life, contributing to measurable energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumping and fans. At 50 Hz full-load efficiency is listed around 92.1%, with slight improvements at partial loads, translating to lower energy bills and cooler operation in intense duty cycles. IP55 enclosure andIC411 insulation → Protective sealing against dust and water ingress combined with rugged insulation improves reliability and longevity in harsh climates and dusty plants. Frame size 160 with cast iron construction and 4-pole design delivers steady torque and resilience in demanding installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting and top terminator box → eased installation and maintenance with standardized mounting patterns and accessible wiring; compatible with both new builds and retrofit projects. Connection options and D‑configurations provide flexibility across drive systems, while the sturdy bearing arrangement (6309/C3) supports long-life operation in demanding industrial settings. Originating from Finland → supports a stable supply chain and predictable lead times for global projects, with local service and parts availability to minimize downtime and accelerate commissioning.

FAQs
The 3GKP162420-BDK is designed for Ex-rated environments with Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure. It uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a top terminator box, with a D connection configuration. Installation should follow ATEX/IECEx guidelines, ensuring correct enclosure sealing, grounding, and compatible base frame mounting for 160 frame size in marine, chemical, or petrochemical facilities.
The motor operates at 400 V, 50 Hz with a 15 kW output. IE3 efficiency is reported at 92.1% full load at 50 Hz (and 93.1% at full load for 60 Hz), with similar partial-load values. It is a 4-pole, single-speed S1 duty rating with a D voltage code and IC411 insulation, suitable for continuous operation in demanding installations.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, IIB gas group rating, and IP55 enclosure make it suitable for hazardous-area environments typical of chemical plants and onshore/offshore facilities. Its IE3 efficiency, IC411 insulation, and robust cast-iron frame further support reliable operation in demanding processes where safety, efficiency, and longevity are priorities.
Key certifications include IEC 60034-1 compliance, IE3 efficiency class, IP55 ingress protection, Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB environments, and IC411 insulation class. The product aligns with S1 duty, 4-pole design, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting requirements, ensuring regulatory and industry-standard conformity across global markets.
The motor uses robust components such as 6309/C3 bearings and a cast-iron frame to reduce maintenance needs and extend service life. IE3 efficiency drives energy savings, improving ROI in continuous-duty operations. A standard 1-piece minimum order and Finland-origin support streamline procurement, while reliable protection and mounting ease accelerate commissioning and minimize total cost of ownership.
