Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure provides reliable operation in hazardous environments, reducing the risk of ignition and ensuring compliance with ATEX/IECEx standards; this translates to safer installations and lower insurance costs in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations. IE3 premium efficiency at 90 kW lowers energy consumption, delivering measurable reductions in operating costs and heat load, which can extend bearing life and reduce cooling requirements in conveyors and pumps. The combination of IC411 insulation and a T4 temperature class supports stable performance in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m, improving uptime in hot plants and outdoor installations. A cast-iron frame size 280 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a robust 2-pole design ensures easy retrofits and straightforward alignment with existing bases, reducing installation time and crane usage. The D connection configuration and 500 V supply offer flexible wiring options, while the 90 kW rating supports high-torque applications such as mixers and bulk-material conveyors. Overall, the motor delivers durability, predictable maintenance cycles, and a favorable total cost of ownership for demanding industrial drives in hazardous zones.

FAQs
When installing this motor, ensure the Exdbeb flameproof protection is maintained, and mount using IMB5/IM3001 as specified. Use D connection wiring for flexible configurations and verify operation at 500 V, 50 Hz (and 60 Hz where supported). Verify IP55 ingress protection and conform to ATEX/IECEx requirements for Zone 1/II environments. Proper securing, crane-assisted positioning, and alignment with existing equipment minimize vibration and wear.
IE3 efficiency reduces losses at full-load and partial-load conditions. For this motor, Full Load at 50 Hz enjoys about 95% efficiency, with slight reductions at 75% and 50% loads. Over a typical 24/7 operation, this translates to noticeable energy savings, lower cooling load, and reduced carbon footprint, contributing to a shorter payback period and lower total cost of ownership compared to IE2 alternatives.
Yes. The 3GKP281230-BEK is designed for hazardous environments with Exdbeb protection, Gas Group IIB, IP55 enclosure, and flameproof construction. It supports 500 V, 50 Hz operation, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, making it well-suited for pumps, mixers, and conveyors in oil & gas, chemical, or mining facilities where reliable protection and continuous operation are essential.
Exdbeb indicates flameproof protection suitable for explosive atmospheres, specifically Gas Group IIB. Combined with IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, the motor meets stringent safety and reliability standards for hazardous locations. Additional context includes 40 °C ambient rating and up to 1000 m altitude, supporting robust performance in challenging environments.
The robust iron frame, long-life bearings (6316/C3), and premium IE3 efficiency contribute to lower maintenance interruptions and cooler operation. While initial capital costs are higher than non-hazardous-area motors, energy savings and extended service life reduce lifecycle costs. Compatibility with standard mounting, straightforward wiring (D configuration), and international protection enhance uptime and deliver favorable ROI in continuous-process environments.
