IE3 premium efficiency paired with Exdbeb flameproof protection lowers energy costs and enhances safety in hazardous areas. This combination reduces heat generation and torque jitter, translating into longer bearing life and less cooling requirement in continuous-duty service. It is well suited for chemical processing lines, oil and gas pumping stations, and mining conveyors where reliability directly influences production uptime and maintenance planning. With 15 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, a 6-pole design delivers strong starting torque and stable performance under load. Frame size 180 and cast-iron construction resist vibration in harsh environments, while IP55 guards against dust and splashing liquids. Insulation class IC411 supports operation up to 40°C ambient, aiding performance in hot facilities. Installation is streamlined by D connection configuration, top-terminal box location, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility, reducing commissioning time and improving service access. The motor meets IEC 60034-1 standards and Ex protection in hazardous zones, helping you maintain compliance with ATEX/IECEx requirements. Bearings 6310/C3 and IMB5 IM3001 compatibility extend maintenance intervals while enabling easier spare parts provisioning through ABB networks. Finnish origin provides traceability and predictable lead times for project planning, delivering a compelling mix of rugged reliability and energy efficiency for demanding industrial applications.

FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GKP183410-BEL in hazardous zones, prioritize Ex protection compliance (Exdbeb), IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. Utilize the D connection configuration and the top-termination box for safer wiring and easier future maintenance. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting footprint is compatible with common hazardous-area control panels, simplifying retrofits and new installs alike.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces electricity consumption under full and partial load, lowering operating costs and improving total cost of ownership. For a 15 kW, 50 Hz system, the energy savings compound with uptime gains from reliable protection (Ex) and robust construction, delivering faster payback in continuous-duty service typical of chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas applications.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP183410-BEL is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a top termination box, which aids installation in constrained spaces. The frame size 180 and dimensions support retrofit into existing installations, while the D connection configuration simplifies wiring. This setup reduces commissioning time and improves service access in tight control rooms or plant floors.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and IEC 60034-1 compliance, with Gas Group IIB suitability. These certifications ensure safe operation in hazardous zones, support ATEX/IECEx regulatory alignment, and facilitate procurement and maintenance by meeting mandatory safety and performance criteria for process industries.
ROI is driven by energy savings from the IE3 efficiency rating, and reduced maintenance costs from the robust cast-iron frame and high-quality bearings (6310/C3). The Ex protection and durable enclosure minimize downtime due to faults in hazardous areas, while easy installation and long service intervals improve maintenance planning, delivering a compelling total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
