FAQs
Installers should confirm Exdbeb flameproof protection for Class IIA/IIB environments and use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a Frame Size 160. The motor supports 3-phase 500 V, 50 Hz supply and IP55 protection, ensuring safe operation at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. verify alignment, cable gland entries, and rated torque for pumps and fans.
IE3 efficiency class delivers higher full-load efficiency (about 90.3% at 100% load on 50 Hz), reducing energy consumption and operating costs over the motor’s life. This performance advantage is especially noticeable in continuous-duty applications like pumps and fans, where energy savings compound across shifts and extended runtimes.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP163420-BEK complies with IEC 60034-1 standards, uses Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups, and features IP55 enclosure with IC411 insulation. The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and supports safe operation in hazardous environments while maintaining reliable performance.
Ideal for hazardous-area pumping and ventilation in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations, the motor’s Ex protection, IP55 enclosure, and robust cast-iron frame suit demanding conditions. Its 11 kW output and 6-pole design provide reliable torque and speed control for process-critical equipment in confined or explosive atmospheres.
The cast-iron frame, bearing specification (6309/C3), and robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting reduce wear and downtime, extending service life. Energy savings from IE3 efficiency lower operating costs, while hazardous-area protections simplify troubleshooting and compliance reporting. Expect lower maintenance frequency and faster commissioning when integrating with existing lines and 500 V, 50 Hz power systems.
