Feature Exde flameproof protection provides a robust explosion-protection solution for hazardous environments. Business Impact By containing ignition risks in ATEX zones, it lowers the probability of catastrophic incidents and unscheduled downtime, delivering safer plant operations. Application Suitable for oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining facilities where flammable atmospheres exist and safety is non-negotiable. Feature Premium IE3 efficiency at 18.5 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz, 8 poles reduces energy consumption while maintaining continuous, high-load performance. Business Impact Lower operating costs and reduced CO2 footprint over the motor’s life, improving return on investment for pump, fan, and compressor duties. Application Ideal for process cooling, circulation pumps, and industrial fans in large facilities seeking energy optimization. Feature IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation enable rugged operation in dirty, humid, or outdoor environments. Business Impact Enhanced reliability and longer service intervals, decreasing maintenance costs and asset downtime. Application Common in outdoor substations, water treatment, and mining equipment exposed to dust and moisture. Feature Cast iron frame (225) with 6313/C3 bearings and IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports heavy-duty use. Business Impact Superior mechanical durability, extended bearing life, and predictable performance under shock and vibration. Application Suitable for conveyors, crushers, and heavy pumps in mining and minerals processing. Feature Y (star) connection, 400 V, 50 Hz alignment with standard plant electrical infrastructure eases installation. Business Impact Shorter commissioning times and fewer field adjustments, accelerating project timelines. Application Robust for new builds and retrofit projects in industrial plants already using 400 V 50 Hz systems. Feature Temperature class T4, altitude 1000 m, ambient 40 °C broadens operating envelopes. Business Impact Wider site applicability with maintained performance margins, reducing the need for multiple motor variants. Application Useful in high-temperature or high-altitude installations common in chemical plants and metal processing.

FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box and a Y (star) connection for 400 V, 50 Hz supplies. This configuration supports straightforward integration into standard plant wiring and aligns with common 3-phase electrical infrastructures found in industrial facilities.
Key specs include 18.5 kW output, 8 poles, frame size 225, ambient 40 °C, altitude up to 1000 m, and IE3 premium efficiency. At 50 Hz the motor operates at 400 V with an IP55 enclosure and Exde protection, while 60 Hz operation maintains the IE3 class and overall performance within safe tolerances.
Yes. The 3GKP224210-BSK features Exdbeb flameproof protection (Ex protection for explosive atmospheres) and an IP55 enclosure, making it well-suited for hazardous zones in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining where ignition sources must be controlled.
It provides IP55 ingress protection, Exde flameproof protection, and IC411 insulation. These features, along with 8-pole IE3 efficiency and a robust cast-iron frame, support regulatory compliance, safety, and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
The motor’s robust design (cast-iron frame, heavy-duty bearings, IMB5/IM3001 mounting) supports longer service intervals and fewer unplanned outages. Its IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs, contributing to a favorable total-cost-of-ownership in continuous operation applications such as pumps, mixers, and conveyors in hazardous environments.
