ABB 3GKP182420-BDK Flameproof IE3 Motor - Exdbeb

Ex protection and hazardous-area suitability are built into the 3GKP182420-BDK. Exdbeb flameproof protection plus IIB gas group means safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres such as oil, gas, and chemical plants. This motor is designed to comply with ATEX/IECEx expectations, reducing procurement risk and accelerating approvals. IE3 premium efficiency minimizes energy use in continuous service. At 50 Hz the motor delivers full-load efficiency around 93%, with similar figures at partial loads, which translates to lower running costs and cooler operation. The higher efficiency also reduces heat in the windings, contributing to longer bearing life and improved uptime. IP55 enclosure and IC class insulation enhance durability in harsh environments. The IP55 rating protects against dust and water ingress, while insulation class ICLF supports sustained operation at higher temperatures. Together with ambient 40°C and up to 1000 m altitude, they help maintain consistent performance without frequent derating. Robust mechanical design supports long service life and flexible installation. A cast-iron frame size 180 combined with a 4-pole configuration delivers strong starting torque and reliable torque control. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, plus a top terminator box and a 826 mm length, streamline retrofits and new installations. Electrical compatibility reduces wiring effort and integration risk. The D connection configuration at 400 V and 50 Hz supports straightforward wiring in standard LV drives, while the 22 kW, 4-pole output matches common process loads. Optional alignment with IMB5 IM3001 for safe, compliant mounting accelerates commissioning. Low maintenance through quality components supports total cost of ownership advantages. The bearings are specified as 6310/C3, and the cast-iron frame resists mechanical wear in tough environments. With a 290 kg net weight and 300 kg gross, installation, handling, and rack integration become predictable and efficient. Operational readiness for hazardous-area duty is ensured by IEC 60034-1 standards alignment and Ex certification, making it a turnkey solution for chemical, mining, and oil-and-gas facilities. This combination supports safer operations, easier audits, and faster project execution.
