Exdbeb flameproof protection design provides a robust barrier against explosive atmospheres, enabling safe operation in Zone IIB and other hazardous locations. This reduces the regulatory burden and ignition risk for critical processes, and makes the motor a dependable choice for chemical plants, refineries, and mining environments where reliable protection matters. IE3 premium efficiency at 75 kW and 500 V delivers meaningful energy savings across continuous duty, reducing operating costs and cooling requirements while improving thermal profile and component life. Full-load efficiency around 94.7% at 100% load supports lower energy bills and better power factor in steady-state operation. IP55 enclosure paired with IC411 insulation and operation up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude improves reliability, protecting windings and bearings from dust, moisture, and heat in harsh plants and outdoor locations. The D connection configuration, 500 V, 50 Hz supply, 2 poles, and frame 280 streamline installation into standard industrial power systems, with straightforward spare parts and wiring practices for fast commissioning. Cast Iron frame and bearing 6316/C3 provide rugged mechanical robustness, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting with D-End top terminator box simplifies integration with existing plant infrastructure and ABB control systems. This motor’s mounting flexibility, IMB5 duty suitability, and robust construction reduce vibration, downtime, and maintenance frequency in demanding process environments, ensuring long-term reliability for hazardous-area drives across oil & gas, chemical, and power generation sectors.

FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GKP281220-BEK in hazardous zones, ensure Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure are maintained. Plan IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-end top terminator box, provide proper cable entry, and verify correct torque on bearings and terminal connections. Ensure cooling provisions accommodate 40 °C ambient temperatures and 1000 m altitude for reliable operation.
Key specifications include 75 kW output, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 2-pole design, frame size 280, IP55 protection, IE3 efficiency, insulation class ICLF, and Exdbeb flameproof protection. The motor is configured for the D connection, operates in S1 duty, and is suitable for 500 V, 3-phase industrial power systems.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for explosive atmospheres and gas group IIB. It aligns with ATEX and IECEx expectations, supported by documented protection class, insulation, and mounting standards (IMB5/IM3001). Regulatory compliance is reinforced by the gas-group designation and the robust enclosure, making it suitable for global hazardous-area deployments.
The IE3 premium efficiency rating inherently reduces energy losses during operation, lowering running costs and improving thermal performance. Combined with reliable Ex protection and durable casting, it reduces maintenance frequency and spare parts consumption. Integration with ABB drives enables optimized control strategies, further lowering energy cost and extending equipment life in continuous duty installations.
The motor supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting with D-End top termination, simplifying wiring and panel integration. Frame size 280 and a cast-iron construction provide robust support for heavy-duty applications, while the D configuration and 500 V, 50 Hz supply facilitate seamless connection within standard industrial electrical architectures and ABB control ecosystems.
