ABB 3GKP224210-AEK Flameproof IE3 Motor - Exdbeb
Part Number: 3GKP224210-AEK
Quick Summary
ABB 3GKP224210-AEK Flameproof IE3 Motor is an 18.5 kW three-phase drive designed for hazardous-area environments. Too often maintenance and safety compliance slow production, forcing unplanned downtime. With IE3 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups, it delivers reliable operation in demanding settings. Engineered for high-temperature and altitude conditions, it maintains performance up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude. The rugged cast-iron frame, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and top-termination box simplify installation and service in tight spaces. This combination translates to energy savings, reduced downtime, and predictable lifecycle costs for chemical, oil and gas, and heavy process industries.

FAQs
Plan for a top-termination box deployment and D connection, ensuring the 500 V, 50 Hz supply is wired to the motor correctly. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatible with frame 225 and ensure Exdbeb flameproof protection is maintained. The unit is designed for IP55 protection in Class IIB environments and should be installed with appropriate hazard-area clearances and grounding.
IE3 premium efficiency translates to lower I²R losses and improved overall energy use. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 90.1% (IE3 data); at 75% load it reaches ~90.8%, and at 50% load about ~90.2%. Over typical process cycles, these gains reduce electricity bills and contribute to a faster return on investment.
Yes. The 3GKP224210-AEK is engineered for IMB3/IM1001 mounting and offers Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups, IP55 enclosure, and a top termination box. These features streamline installation in hazardous areas and ensure compatibility with common process plant layouts and service access requirements.
The motor is flameproof Exdbeb with IIB gas group protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation for continuous S1 duty at 40 °C ambient. It uses a cast-iron frame, 8 poles, and 500 V / 50 Hz operation. This combination supports compliance in hazardous-area applications and aligns with typical industrial automation safety expectations.
Expect energy savings from IE3 efficiency alongside reduced downtime due to robust flameproof construction and high-quality bearings (6313/C3, 6312/C3). The durable cast-iron frame, top-termination design, and reliable Ex protection contribute to longer service intervals, predictable lifecycle costs, and improved process uptime in chemical, oil & gas, and mining operations.
