Exdbeb flameproof protection with an IP55 enclosure is a core feature that minimizes ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, while the robust cast-iron frame protects internals from shock and vibration. This combination aligns with IEC 60034-1 and ATEX-style expectations, reducing safety-related interruptions. In practice, users in chemical processing, mining, and petroleum logistics gain safer operation with fewer emergency shutdowns and less rework during installation. IE3 premium efficiency at 22 kW translates into meaningful operating-cost savings. With full-load efficiency near 93% at 50–100% loads, energy spend drops and motor heat remains manageable, extending bearing life. For continuous-demand applications like belt conveyors or centrifugal pumps, the efficiency advantage lowers total cost of ownership and supports sustainability goals. Mechanical design emphasizes reliability: 180 mm frame, 4 poles, 500 V, 50 Hz, and IP55 rating behind a flameproof Ex protection. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, top terminator box, and 826 mm depth help installers align with existing plant footprints, reducing retrofit risk and enabling straightforward integration with standard VFDs. A heavy-duty bearing arrangement (6310/C3) and insulation class ICLF support prolonged service life in 40 C ambient conditions and up to 1,000 m altitude. The motor's S1 duty cycle and rigorous mechanical tolerances reduce maintenance frequency, while the Finnish origin offers durable manufacturing and traceability that procurement teams value for regulated facilities. From OEM deployments to retrofit projects, the product's documented specs and country of origin streamline supplier qualification and risk management. With 22 kW capability and Ex protection, it fits a broad range of critical processes.

FAQs
The ABB 3GKP182420-BEK is designed for hazardous-area installations such as chemical plants, mining, and oil and gas facilities. Its Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure meet common ATEX/IEC safety requirements, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplifies retrofits and OEM integrations. This combination minimizes ignition risk, reduces long-term safety compliance costs, and supports reliable continuous operation in harsh environments.
IE3 efficiency delivers measurable cost benefits by reducing electrical losses during operation. With full-load efficiency around 93%, energy consumption decreases across continuous-duty applications like conveyors and pumps. The resulting lower heat generation also extends bearing life and reduces cooling requirements, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifetime.
Yes. The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and operates at 500 V, 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration. The top-terminal box and mounting footprint align with common industrial packages, enabling straightforward installation, easier service access, and compatibility with a wide range of variable frequency drives used in hazardous-area applications.
Key certifications and standards include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IEC 60034-1 compliance. The motor also employs an IC411 insulation class and a 4-pole 22 kW design suitable for S1 duty. Gas group IIB and the flameproof construction support safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres across regulated industries.
Consider the motor’s cast-iron frame, 6310/C3 bearings, and ICFL insulation for robust longevity in demanding environments. Its 40 C ambient limit and 1000 m altitude capability reduce the need for specialized enclosures. Plan for periodic inspection of the Ex protection seals, verify IMB5/IM3001 mounting integrity during service, and maintain stock of standard spare parts to minimize downtime.
