FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GKP251210-ASL Exde motor, ensure proper flameproof enclosure and adequate ventilation, verify the Y connection configuration for 400 V 50 Hz supply, and use IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Confirm IP55 protection, Exdbeb gas protection, and that the frame size 250 aligns with your mounting footprint. Plan for top terminator box access and compliant cable glands for safe operation.
Key performance specs include 55 kW output at 400 V, 50 Hz, 2 poles, and IE3 efficiency class. The motor operates with a 3-phase supply, a frame size 250, and a Y connection. It offers IP55, IC411 insulation, and Exde fault protection suitable for hazardous environments, with a duty cycle of S1 and a maximum altitude rating of 1000 m.
Yes. The motor features Exde flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIB compatibility, making it well-suited for oil and gas and chemical processing environments. Its robust cast-iron frame, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and 400 V 50 Hz supply provide reliable operation under demanding process conditions while meeting IEC 60034-1 standards.
IE3 efficiency reduces electrical losses during continuous operation, lowering energy consumption and operating costs over the motor’s lifespan. For pumping, ventilation, or conveyor applications common in chemical plants and mining, the energy savings can shorten payback periods, improve thermal performance, and extend maintenance intervals by reducing heat load and wear on rotating components.
Follow a proactive maintenance plan aligned with IMB3 mounting and Exde protection requirements. Regularly inspect bearings (6315/C3 and 6313/C3 NDE), monitor insulation integrity (ICLF, Temperature Class T4), and verify IP55 seals and cable glands for dust and moisture ingress. Given 55 kW power and 470–480 kg weight, schedule periodic alignment checks, bearing lubrication if applicable, and inspections after exposure to harsh chemicals or dust environments.
