Flameproof Exdbeb protection and Gas Group IIB rating ensure safe operation in explosive atmospheres. This design mitigates ignition risks and simplifies regulatory compliance, helping plants avoid costly shutdowns and penalties. In chemical processing, refining, and mining, the motor can be mounted close to hazardous processes without sacrificing performance. IE3 premium efficiency delivers tangible energy savings at full-load operation. The 90 kW rating and 500 V supply combine with 50 Hz to lower running costs and reduce heat load, extending bearing life and reducing cooling requirements. When users benchmark total cost of ownership, the premium efficiency category delivers clear payback in continuous S1 duty cycles. IP55 enclosure plus IC411 insulation class weather the rigors of dusty, hot environments. The Y connection simplifies wiring, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides compatibility with standard base plates and adaptable installations across new builds or retrofits. Operating up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, the motor maintains torque and efficiency with robust cooling and a designed temperature class. Cast Iron frame 280 and heavy-duty bearings 6316/C3 support long service life in demanding lines; 2-pole, single-speed design ensures straightforward drive selection and reliable starting. The product designation M3KP 280SMC 2 indicates compatibility with ABB drive solutions.

FAQs
Plan for a star (Y) connection with 500 V, 50 Hz power and a 2-pole configuration. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting to ensure compliant base-plate fit, and account for D-End top terminator box placement. The unit is designed for IP55 environments and Exdbeb protection, simplifying safe installation in hazardous areas without special rework.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses at full-load operation, lowering electricity bills during continuous S1 duty. For a 90 kW motor at 500 V and 50 Hz, the improved efficiency translates to measurable payback over time, particularly in process lines with long runtimes and high duty cycles, while also reducing heat generation and cooling requirements.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group ratings, meeting stringent ATEX/IECEx requirements for hazardous areas. It combines robust enclosure IP55 with a flameproof design to minimize ignition risk while maintaining reliable operation in explosive atmospheres.
Ideal for chemical processing, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations, the motor’s 90 kW rating, flameproof protection, and rugged cast-iron frame suit demanding drives near hazardous processes. Its mounting compatibility (IMB3/IM1001) and star connection streamline installation across new builds and retrofit projects.
The combination of IE3 efficiency and Exd protection lowers energy and maintenance costs over the motor’s life. With solid build quality (cast-iron frame, robust bearings) and reliable 2-pole operation, downtime is minimized, delivering uptime gains and a favorable return on investment in continuous-process applications.
