ABB 3GKP283230-AFL Flameproof IE3 Motor - Exde

Flameproof Exdbeb protection with Gas Group IIB ensures safe operation in hazardous atmospheres. This flameproof design reduces ignition risk and supports compliant performance in explosive environments, enabling continuous production in chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations where volatile atmospheres are present. The configuration is widely used for pumps, compressors, and mixers in offshore platforms and on-shore facilities, helping operators maintain uptime and protect personnel. Meeting stringent explosion-protection requirements simplifies regulatory compliance and reduces project risk during commissioning. Premium IE3 efficiency paired with a 55 kW rating at 500 V and 50 Hz delivers measurable energy savings over the motor’s lifecycle. The motor maintains full-load efficiencies around 94.1–94.3%, translating to lower energy consumption and cooler operation at constant torque. Reliable starting and steady performance improve process control in pumps and fans, while the overall lifecycle cost drops due to reduced maintenance and downtime. These efficiencies are especially beneficial in continuous-flow processes where pump and fan duty cycles dominate energy use. An IP55 enclosure protects internal components from dust and moisture, while the 6-pole squirrel-cage design supports reliable torque at rated loads. Cast-iron frame and bearings such as 6316/C3 reduce wear and vibration, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance costs. IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations, delivering quicker commissioning in challenging environments. Low noise operation also reduces acoustic impact in restricted spaces. Y-connection wiring and Exde/Exdbeb flameproof configuration enable safe connection to hazardous-area drives, with D-End top termination simplifying wiring access. The motor’s 3‑phase, 6-pole arrangement provides predictable starting currents and load response in S1 duty, while IP55 and IC411 insulation support long, uninterrupted operation in harsh sites. Compatibility with standard hazardous-area drive systems ensures plug-and-play integration and simplifies training for maintenance teams. With a 280 frame and 1090 mm length, the motor suits rugged installations and heavy equipment rooms. Originating from Finland (FI), it carries strong quality and traceability, helping procurement manage supplier risk across global projects and ensuring consistent support through the asset’s life.
