FAQs
The motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a Y connection, designed for 4-pole, 180 frame. It operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, and IP55 protection, making it suitable for flameproof installations in ATEX/IECEx zones. Ensure proper enclosure integrity, grounding, and compliant electrical connections per regional regulations.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces no-load and load losses, delivering lower operating costs over the motor’s life. At 18.5 kW, users can expect meaningful reductions in electricity consumption, contributing to shorter payback periods and improved total cost of ownership in continuous-duty applications.
Yes. The 3GKP182410-AFL is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting and 4-pole framing, enabling compatible integration with equipment configured for hazardous environments. Its flameproof Exde protection and IP55 enclosure support offshore and onshore installations where robust mechanical and electrical protection are required.
The motor features Exde explosion protection with Exdbeb gas group IIB and IP55 enclosure, along with IE3 efficiency and IC411 insulation class. These characteristics align with common hazardous-area standards and help simplify regulatory compliance during procurement and audits.
Expect reduced downtime due to higher reliability and flameproof design, plus energy savings from IE3 efficiency. Plan for routine inspections of bearings (6310/C3) and the IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with a focus on vibration monitoring and seal integrity to maximize uptime and extend service life.
