Flameproof protection and hazardous-area readiness → Safety compliance lowers risk and insurance costs while enabling continuous operation in IIB-rated zones. Exdbeb protection combined with IP55 enclosure ensures robust performance against dust, moisture, and ignition sources in challenging facilities. IE3 premium efficiency → Energy savings translate to lower total cost of ownership and improved sustainability metrics on industrial projects. 45 kW output at 500 V with 50 Hz frequency and 4 poles → High torque and reliable speed control for pumps, fans, and conveyors, reducing cycle times and maintenance events. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and top-terminal box → Simplified installation, easier retrofits, and compatibility with a wide ABB drive ecosystem. Cast-iron frame plus IC411 insulation → Durability in harsh environments and long service intervals, even in elevated temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Gas Group IIB protection and Ex protection class → Meets stringent regulatory requirements for hazardous installations, delivering safer, compliant operations. Reliability is reinforced by bearing configurations 6313/C3 and 6312/C3 and a robust 225 frame size, supporting steady performance under heavy-duty loads. This motor’s design supports IMB3 IM1001 mounting and IMB3/IM1001-compatible equipment, making it a practical choice for retrofits or new builds that require durable, code-compliant motors.

FAQs
The 3GKP222220-AEL uses a D electrical configuration and is compatible with IMB3 IM1001 mounting patterns. Top terminator box placement simplifies wiring and retrofit projects, while a cast-iron frame 225 and bearing arrangement 6313/C3/6312/C3 support stable operation alongside ABB drives and control platforms.
It delivers 45 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, with 4 poles (frame 225), IE3 efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation. Explosion protection is Exdbeb, Gas Group IIB, rated for S1 duty and capable of reliable operation in hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor is flameproof Exdbeb with IP55 enclosure and Gas Group IIB protection. It complies with IEC 60034-1 standards and is designed for hazardous installations, making it appropriate for chemical, oil and gas, and mining sectors while meeting safety and reliability requirements.
Plan for IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, top-terminal box access, and the 225 frame with cast-iron construction. Ensure ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude limits to keep performance within rated IE3 efficiencies. Connection configuration is D, and the unit supports standard 50 Hz electrical supply at 500 V.
The IE3 efficiency rating reduces operating costs over the motor’s life, especially in continuous-duty settings (S1). The rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 sealing, and Ex protection reduce maintenance interruptions in harsh environments, delivering predictable uptime and faster payback through energy savings and lower maintenance needs.
