ABB 3GKP252210-AEK Flameproof IE3 Motor - Exdbeb

Flameproof protection is a core feature of the 3GKP252210-AEK. This design prevents ignition in hazardous environments, directly reducing the risk of explosions and equipment downtime. The Exdbeb protection, along with a robust IIB gas-group rating, allows safe operation in chemical processing, oil refining, and gas-handling facilities where other motors cannot operate without expensive safeguards. Applications include zones with strict explosion protection requirements, and the motor's flameproof construction supports reliable uptime in continuous duty (S1) service. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable operating savings. In full-load tests at 50 Hz, IE3 performance hardware achieves efficiency around 94.6%, with even stronger partial-load figures, helping facilities lower electricity bills and cooling load. This translates to a lower total cost of ownership when running 55 kW motors at 500 V under sustained duty cycles, and supports energy-management initiatives across the plant. IP55 enclosure and rugged mechanicals support long life in dirty or dusty environments. The 250 frame with cast-iron construction and IMB3/IM1001 mounting offers straightforward installation and interchangeability with existing equipment. Operators benefit from reduced maintenance windows and simpler alignment during rebuilds, while service teams appreciate standardized mounting dimensions and bearing arrangements (6315/C3, 6313/C3) for quick bearing replacements. Explosion-protection and certifications provide compliance confidence. The ABB 3GKP252210-AEK carries intrinsic Ex protections (Exdbeb) and gas-group IIB classification, aligning with hazardous-location codes and customer QA standards. The motor also carries IEC 60034-1 as a baseline standard and a robust IP55 rating, ensuring ingress protection during washdowns and moderate exposure to moisture in industrial environments. Installation and lifecycle advantages for procurement and maintenance teams. The 4-pole, 500 V, 50 Hz configuration supports standard electrical infrastructure, while the IMB3/IM1001 mounting and 55 kW rating provide a familiar upgrade path for legacy fleets. With Finland origin and a one-piece stock-keeping approach, lead times and spare-part compatibility improve, delivering a smoother project ramp and consistent performance across shifts.
