FAQs
For safe, compliant installation, select Exd-rated equipment and follow ATEX/IECEx guidelines. Use IMB5/IM3001 mounting with Frame 180 and ensure the termination box is positioned top-side as specified. Verify ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m for reliable cooling and longevity.
The motor delivers 22 kW at 500 V with a 4-pole configuration, IE3 efficiency, and IC411 insulation. At 50 Hz, expect full-load performance near rated output with IP55 protection and Exdbeb explosion protection suitable for standard hazardous-area drives.
Yes. The 3GKP182420-BEL incorporates Exdbeb explosion protection and is designed for IIB gas groups, IP55 housing, and IEC 60034-1 IE3 efficiency, making it a compliant choice for ATEX and IECEx hazardous-area applications in chemical, oil & gas, and mining sectors.
Energy savings from IE3 efficiency, combined with robust Ex protection and low maintenance due to IP55 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, contribute to lower operating costs and longer service intervals. The 22 kW rating supports high-load applications with predictable lifecycle costs in hazardous environments.
Industries such as chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas benefit most, especially where hazardous zones, high reliability, and energy efficiency are critical. Its flameproof protection, sturdy frame, and mounting compatibility simplify upgrades and new installations in safety-conscious facilities.
