Ex protection plus flameproof design (Exdbeb) ensures safe operation in hazardous zones, reducing risk and enabling compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements, which translates to lower insurance costs and fewer shutdowns in chemical and oil-and-gas facilities. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings at full and partial loads, directly impacting total cost of ownership while supporting sustainability goals in pumping and conveying applications. IP55 enclosure protects internal components from dust and water ingress, extending service intervals in dusty plants and outdoor installations, and enabling reliable operation in challenging environments. The 18.5 kW output at 400 V with 4 poles provides stable torque and consistent speed control for pumps, fans, and compressors, improving process control and reducing mechanical wear over time. With a 180 frame and cast-iron construction, the motor offers high mechanical rigidity and long life, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplifies installation and allows cross-compatibility with existing drive systems and gearboxes. The D connection configuration supports straightforward wiring in standard electrical rooms, and the gas group IIB certification broadens suitability for chemical processing or hydrocarbon handling plants. This combination addresses common objections about hazardous-area motors by delivering a rugged, install-ready solution that aligns with IEC 60034-1 and industry best practices, while supporting maintenance planning and predictable ROI for industrial operators.

FAQs
The ABB 3GKP182410-BDK uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a 180 frame and 4-pole design, compatible with standard low-voltage drives and control cabinets. Its Exdbeb flameproof protection enables safe installation in ATEX/IECEx zones, while the D connection configuration simplifies wiring and panel routing. Ensure enclosure integrity and appropriate cable entry seals to maintain IP55 protection. Verify floor loads and mounting pads match the 294 kg net weight and 304 kg gross weight for proper foundation planning.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 18.5 kW output with 92.6% full-load efficiency (IE Class IE3). Partial-load efficiency remains high, at about 92.0% (50% load) and 92.8% (75% load), ensuring energy savings across typical duty cycles. The 4-pole design provides stable speed and torque characteristics suitable for pumps and conveyors, with IC411 insulation and a robust cast-iron frame for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, Gas Group IIB, and a robust IP55 enclosure, meeting common ATEX/IECEx requirements for hazardous environments. The Ex protection enables safe operation around hydrocarbon vapors, while the IIB gas group designation covers many chemical processing scenarios. Combined with IEC 60034-1 standards, this motor is well-suited for chemical plants, refineries, and offshore installations where safety and reliability are paramount.
The motor's 18.5 kW rating, 400 V operation, and 4-pole configuration support predictable load performance in standard electrical systems. The IP55 ingress protection reduces maintenance needs in dusty or damp spaces, and the IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports fast, vibration-tolerant installation. Typical maintenance focuses on bearing condition (6310/C3) and insulation integrity (ICLF), with energy-efficiency gains from IE3 reducing long-term operating costs and extending intervals between service shut-downs.
Key certifications include IEC 60034-1 for electrical performance, IE3 premium efficiency, IP55 protection, Exdbeb flameproof protection, and IC411 insulation class. The motor is rated for Hazardous Area usage with Gas Group IIB and a 1000 m altitude rating, plus ABB design compliance with IMB5/IM3001 mounting. These certifications support regulatory compliance, safer operation, and broader applicability in challenging industrial environments.
