FAQs
Yes. The 3GKP183410-BEK is a 3-phase, 500 V, 50 Hz motor with Exdbeb flameproof protection and D connection, designed for use with appropriately rated explosion-protected VFDs. Ensure the drive is certified for hazardous environments, and follow installation guidelines for IP55 enclosures, proper grounding, and shielded cabling to maintain compliance and ensure safe, reliable operation.
The motor is specified as IE3 premium efficiency. IE Class Data (50 Hz) shows Full Load efficiency around 91.2%, with Partial Load (75%) about 91.8% and Partial Load (50%) around 91.4%, enabling meaningful energy savings across continuous duty operations such as pumps and fans in hazardous zones.
This 15 kW flameproof motor is ideal for oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and other hazardous environments where ignition sources must be eliminated. With Exdbeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and mounting options IMB5/IM3001, it suits demanding, harsh-duty applications requiring reliable torque, long service life, and regulatory compliance.
The motor complies with IEC 60034-1 and features Exdbeb flameproof protection for gas environments (Gas Group IIB). It offers IP55 protection, an IC insulation class (ICFL), 6 poles, frame size 180, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous zones and align with common industrial safety requirements.
Maintenance benefits come from robust bearings (6310/C3) and a rigid IMB5/IM3001 mounting system, reducing vibration-related wear. The IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s life, improving ROI in continuous-duty applications. Regular inspection of flameproof enclosures, wiring integrity, and bearing condition will sustain performance and uptime.
