Exdbeb flameproof protection is the foundation of safe operation in ATEX zones, dramatically reducing ignition risk and equipment downtime in oil & gas, mining, and chemical processing environments. The IP55 enclosure keeps dust and water ingress to a minimum, extending bearing life and lowering maintenance costs on harsh sites. IE3 premium efficiency translates into meaningful energy savings over the motor’s life, with full-load efficiency around 93.7% at 50 Hz and 94.0% at 75% load, improving overall plant profitability. The cast iron frame size 280 provides rugged durability, while the 6-pole design and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer reliable alignment and simple retrofits in existing installations. A Y electrical connection and IC411 insulation class support safe operation at 500 V, 50 Hz with a temperature class of T4, under 40 °C ambient conditions and up to 1000 m altitude. This motor’s robust construction, compliance credentials, and versatile mounting options reduce project risk, shorten commissioning times, and enable compliant, long-life performance in demanding environments. Engineers benefit from documented compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, facilitating rapid integration with existing drives and protective enclosures while minimizing custom fabrication. In practice, facilities see lower total cost of ownership through reduced energy consumption, less frequent repairs, and predictable maintenance planning. The combination of flameproof protection, shielded electrical design, and a durable mechanical build makes this motor a reliable choice for hazardous-area applications such as pumps, fans, and compressors in challenging industrial settings.

FAQs
This motor is designed with Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous-area ATEX zones. When planning installation, ensure the correct IMB5/IM3001 mounting, verify the gas group IIB classification, and provide appropriate service clearances for maintenance access. Use a proper Y-connected 500 V, 50 Hz supply, and follow local wiring codes to maintain compliance during commissioning and ongoing operation.
The device uses a Y connection with a 500 V, 50 Hz input and a 45 kW output across six poles. It is rated for continuous operation (S1) with an insulation class ICFL and temperature class T4. This combination supports steady-state load profiles, offering reliable performance in demanding continuous-process tasks while maintaining safe operation in hazardous environments.
Yes. The 3GKP283220-BFL incorporates Exdbeb protection suitable for gas group IIB environments, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. For installation, ensure zone classification aligns with Ex ratings, and confirm that all protective enclosures and mounting arrangements remain intact to preserve intrinsic safety and compliance over the motor’s service life.
Maintenance should focus on preserving the IP55 enclosure integrity and flameproof joints, periodic bearing checks (6316/C3) and alignment verification for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and inspection of the D-End top terminator box. The motor’s IE3 efficiency supports reduced energy-related wear, while robust cast-iron construction minimizes corrosion exposure. Schedule routine torque checks, insulation resistance tests, and condition monitoring to maximize uptime in remote or harsh locations.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces operating energy costs during long runtime periods, which lowers electricity bills and photocopier-like losses due to heat. Combined with Exdbeb certification and IP55 protection, this motor minimizes downtime, extends service intervals, and lowers maintenance spend. For facilities in oil, gas, mining, or chemical processing, these energy savings and reduced risk translate to a favorable payback and predictable budgeting over the asset lifecycle.
