ABB 3GKP182420-AEK Flameproof Motor - Exdbeb IE3

Exdbeb flameproof protection provides a safe enclosure for electrical connections in hazardous zones, reducing the risk of ignition and simplifying compliance with ATEX/IECEx standards. This directly lowers insurance costs and maintenance downtime while enabling reliable operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites. In practice, the 22 kW output at 500 V is delivered through a robust 4‑pole design with IP55 protection, which keeps dust and moisture out and maintains performance in tough environments. IE3 premium efficiency yields measurable energy savings, especially at partial loads common in process plants. Real‑world performance shows full-load efficiency around 93.0% at 50 Hz and up to 93.8% at 60 Hz, reducing kWh consumption and cooling load. Mechanical robustness comes from a cast‑iron frame (Frame 180), bearings 6310/C3, and Ex protection for gas groups IIB, supporting longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. The IMB3/IM1001 mounting combination simplifies integration with existing drives and supports flexible installation while the 500 V, 50 Hz supply minimizes wiring errors and accelerates commissioning. Installation and durability are further enhanced by a reliable 22 kW output, IP55 enclosure, and a design engineered for up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperature, ensuring consistent performance in challenging sites. This motor is well suited for hazardous-area fans and pump applications in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining, delivering both uptime and energy efficiency for a strong total cost of ownership.
