FAQs
ABB 3GKP253210-AFL uses a Y connection with a top-mounted terminal box and compatible IMB3/IM1001 mounting. For hazardous-area installation, ensure proper enclosure sealing, correct cable entries, and adequate ventilation. Verify alignment and torque on frame size 250, and follow local explosion-protection guidelines during electrical connection and commissioning.
Key specs include 37 kW output, 500 V, 50 Hz, 6 poles, frame size 250, IP55, IE3 efficiency, ICFL insulation, Y connection, Exde protection, and gas group IIB. These values define its performance envelope and installation constraints, such as altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
Yes. Exde flameproof protection, Exdbeb classification (gas IIB), IP55 enclosure, and ICFL insulation are designed for hazardous zones. The motor supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting and top-terminated box, aiding safe, compliant installations in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining with reliable operation in 40 °C ambient conditions.
Consider Exde flameproof protection, Exdbeb gas protection class, IP55 enclosure, ICFL insulation, IE3 efficiency, and S1 duty. Ensure the motor’s 6-pole, 500 V supply, Y configuration, and mounting align with your drive and switchgear specifications, and verify local standards for explosion-protected equipment are met.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses even at partial loads, with typical full-load efficiencies around 93–94% at 50 Hz. In continuous-duty applications, this translates to meaningful energy cost savings. Coupled with durable components and low maintenance needs of a cast-iron frame, operators often achieve shorter payback periods and improved uptime in hazardous-area processes.
