Exdbeb flameproof protection is a critical feature. It delivers improved safety margins and regulatory compliance by containing ignition sources within the motor housing. This is essential in chemical plants and oil refineries where explosive atmospheres demand certified equipment. IE3 premium efficiency yields tangible business outcomes. With full-load efficiency around 94.7% at 50 Hz, energy consumption drops and operating costs shrink, particularly on continuous duty drives. In practice, teams see faster payback on upgrades when replacing older IE2 motors in circulating systems. IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation support endurance in high-temperature environments. The motor's ambient rating of 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m reduce derating concerns on site, improving uptime across multiple locations. Frame size 280, 2-pole design, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting ensure straightforward retrofit and compatibility with existing drive trains. Connection at 500 V and 50 Hz aligns with standard facility power supplies, simplifying wiring and commissioning. Gas Group IIB classification and Ex-protection compatibility enable use in hazardous zones without additional protective gear. The robustness of the cast-iron frame and bearing assembly (6316/C3) contributes to longer service life and reduced maintenance cycles. Overall, ABB's motor combines safety, efficiency, and rugged construction to support safer handover to automated systems and optimized maintenance planning, delivering lower total cost of ownership in demanding industrial automation environments.

FAQs
When wiring this motor, plan for a 500 V, 50 Hz supply and use the D connection configuration. Mounting is compatible with IMB5/IM3001 and frame size 280, enabling straightforward retrofit into existing drives. Ensure the IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof design meet on-site Ex-rated safety requirements and that ambient conditions stay within the 40 °C and 1000 m altitude specifications.
IE3 efficiency delivers higher full-load performance, with measured values around 94.7% at 50 Hz. This reduces electrical energy consumption during continuous operation, lowering utility bills and heat load. For facilities running large pump or fan drives, the energy savings compound across maintenance cycles and production shifts, improving total cost of ownership.
Yes. It features Exdbeb flameproof protection and a robust IP55 enclosure, designed for hazardous zones. Gas Group IIB classification further supports use in volatile atmospheres. Verify site-specific ATEX/IECEx documentation and ensure proper installation practices, including certified conduit, seals, and protective barriers, to maintain compliance.
Key specifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, Insulation Class ICLF, Temperature Class T4, and IC411 class, with a 2-pole, frame 280 design. It uses a cast-iron frame, supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and operates at 500 V, 50 Hz. Gas Group IIB and EN/IEC compliance are integral to its hazardous-area suitability.
Upgrading to the 3GKP281220-BEL yields energy savings from IE3 efficiency, translating to lower electricity costs across continuous-duty drives. Improved reliability and Ex-rated protection reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance expenses. The robust cast-iron construction and proven mounting options minimize retrofit risk and shorten commissioning time, delivering a favorable payback in capital-intensive facilities.
