Flameproof protection is a cornerstone of the ABB 3GKP282230-BEK. Exdbeb flameproof construction translates into safer operation in fuel, chemical, and mining environments where ignition risk can't be ignored. This design allows direct mounting in hazardous zones with standard ABB accessories, reducing the need for expensive enclosure upgrades. The 90 kW rating at 500 V, combined with a 4-pole configuration, supports reliable start‑up and steady torque in demanding duty cycles. IE3 premium efficiency translates into tangible business value. In continuous service at 50 Hz, the motor delivers high full-load efficiency around 95% plus, trimming energy bills and cooling load. For process industries, this means lower operating costs during long run times and improved heat management. The combination with ABB drives also enables advanced control strategies, precise motor protection, and smoother integration with plant automation systems. IP55 protection and robust mechanicals tolerate dusty, humid, or outdoor installations. The enclosure guards critical windings while a cast iron frame provides stiffness and vibration resistance under heavy loads. With a 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limit, the motor remains dependable in challenging sites such as pumping stations, mining corridors, or chemical processing lines without frequent enclosure modifications. Mechanical design emphasizes longevity. A 280 frame with bearing 6316/C3 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting options supports long service intervals and predictable bearing life in heavy conveyors and mixers. The D-end top termination box simplifies electrical connection and cable management, reducing installation time. The unit’s 90 kW rating, 4 poles, and fixed speed make it a robust choice for standardization across multi‑line plants. From a procurement perspective, the motor’s country of origin (Finland) and MTBF-friendly construction support compliance with global supplier standards. Minimum order quantities and a 1-pc selling unit simplify stocking and spares planning. In practice, engineers gain a ready-to-run solution with minimal customization, improving project timelines and ensuring consistent performance across hazardous-area drives.

FAQs
Plan for Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure to safeguard windings in explosive atmospheres. Use IMB5/IM3001 mounting and the D-end top termination box for straightforward cabling. Ensure operation within 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude, and verify compatibility with 500 V, 50 Hz supply and the 4-pole design for reliable torque and start‑up in hazardous zones.
The motor operates at 500 V and 50 Hz, delivering 90 kW with IE3 efficiency. It has 4 poles, an IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection. Connection configuration is D, insulation class ICfL, and it is designed for continuous S1 duty with a full-load efficiency around IE3 benchmarks, suitable for integration with ABB drives.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas group suitability make it appropriate for mining and chemical processing environments where ignition risk exists. The motor’s robust frame, cast iron construction, and IP55 rating accommodate dusty, humid, and harsh conditions typical of these industries, while 90 kW output supports demanding mechanical loads.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof explosion protection, IP55 enclosure rating, and IC411 insulation class. It supports IE3 premium efficiency and is compatible with global hazardous-area standards like ATEX/IECEx frameworks. The unit’s build also aligns with industry expectations for reliability and long service life in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Energy savings from IE3 efficiency reduce operating costs in continuous duty scenarios.
