Exdbeb flameproof protection and a robust IP55 enclosure are not just certifications; they are practical features that minimize ignition risk and keep equipment running in dusty, humid, or chemical environments. The business impact is safer operations and less unexpected downtime, especially in chemical plants and oil facilities where zone classification matters. The application is powered pumps, fans, and compressors in ATEX zones. IE3 premium efficiency improves energy performance across full and partial loading. This translates to measurable operating cost reductions and lower heat load on electrical infrastructure, enabling longer service intervals and smaller cooling requirements in process plants. This motor suits conveyors, pumps, and grinders where continuous operation at 50 Hz is common and energy costs are a concern. IP55 with IC411 insulation supports reliable service in outdoor or damp environments. The business impact is extended service life and reduced maintenance, saving total cost of ownership in mining, aggregate processing, and wastewater treatment. The application includes outdoor substations, surface equipment, and process areas where ingress protection and insulation class matter. Cast-iron frame, 280 frame size, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify installation in restricted spaces and retrofit projects. The result is shorter commissioning times and easier OEM integration with D-connection and 2-pole design for 500 V supply. Rugged construction with Ex-protection and gas-group IIB compatibility supports safe operation in hazardous zones with minimal overdesign. The business impact is compliance assurance and predictable performance under altitude up to 1000 m and ambient up to 40°C.

FAQs
The 3GKP281230-AEL is designed with Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 ingress protection, making it suitable for ATEX/IECEx zones. Use the D-connection configuration and the IMB3/IM1001 mounting arrangement to ensure compliant alignment with frame size 280 and 2-pole operation. Follow standard hazardous-area motor installation practices and verify enclosure integrity after wiring and coupling.
The motor adheres to IE3 premium efficiency, with full-load efficiency around 95% at 50 Hz and comparable performance at 60 Hz. At partial loads (75% and 50%), efficiency remains high, supporting reduced energy consumption during typical plant operation. This makes it well-suited for pumps, fans, and compressors where continuous duty occurs on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power networks.
Yes. The motor is rated Exdbeb with Gas Group IIB protection, allowing safe operation in hazardous zones found in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities. The IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation class, and robust cast-iron frame further support reliability under demanding chemical and mining applications.
The unit uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a frame size of 280 and a compact footprint suitable for retrofit or new installations. Key dimensions include a net length of 1090 mm, height 768 mm, and width 530 mm, with a net weight of 715 kg and gross 735 kg. Plan for a 500 V supply, D-connection, and available space for maintenance clearance.
IE3 efficiency delivers meaningful energy savings over standard motors, reducing operating costs for pumps and fans in hazardous zones. The durable Ex-protected design minimizes downtime and maintenance, while robust mounting simplifies installation. In combination, these factors shorten payback periods, improve equipment uptime, and lower total cost of ownership in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities.
