FAQs
For hazardous locations, plan installation around the Exdbeb flameproof rating, IP55 enclosure, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Ensure proper cable entries, grounding, and certified enclosure sealing. Verify ambient conditions (up to 40 °C, 1000 m altitude) and use compatible connectors and protective devices. Factory documentation confirms compliance with IEC 60034-1 and relevant ATEX/IECEx requirements.
Yes. The motor is Ex-protected with Exdbeb rating for hazardous areas, IIB gas group, and insulation class suitable for continuous operation. It complies with IEC 60034-1 and is designed for flameproof installations in environments with hydrocarbon atmospheres. Typical certifications applicable in many regions include ATEX and IECEx, ensuring safe performance in explosive zones.
Absolutely. The 3GKP163420-BEL is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting, supporting straightforward retrofits and new installations. Its D connection configuration and 6-pole 11 kW design align with ABB drive ecosystems, enabling seamless control from compatible variable frequency drives and simplifying maintenance with common spare parts.
IE3 efficiency delivers lower I²R losses and improved power conversion in continuous duty (S1). In everyday operation, this translates to measurable energy savings, reduced heat generation, and extended motor life. For process lines such as pumps and fans, the result is lower operating costs and improved overall plant energy performance without compromising reliability.
Maintenance benefits come from rugged flameproof construction, IP55 protection, and a robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting interface, which reduce downtime and parts wear. ROI is driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency, lower risk of ignition-related incidents, and predictable service through ABB’s global network, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s service life.
