Feature Exdbeb flameproof protection provides intrinsic safety in Class IIB environments, reducing ignition risk during start-up and load surges. This translates to lower insurance costs and higher uptime for critical pumps and conveyors in hazardous areas. Application Chemical processing, refining, mining, and oil and gas facilities benefit from certified protection without compromising motor performance. Feature IE4 Super Premium Efficiency reduces energy consumption across full-load and partial-load conditions, leading to tangible cost savings on continuous-duty applications such as fans, conveyors, and mixers. Application Global plants seeking lower operating costs and stringent energy codes gain measurable ROI through improved energy efficiency. Feature IP55 enclosure protects internal components from dust, moisture, and washdown, enabling reliable operation in rugged production floors and outdoor installations. Application Food-grade or chemical plants with washdown cycles or dusty environments benefit from durable protection. Feature 400 V 50 Hz input with a D connection configuration ensures compatibility with standard electrical infrastructure found in Europe and many export markets. Application Facilities upgrading to modern, energy-efficient drives without extensive electrical rewiring. Feature Frame size 280 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer flexible installation in existing footprints, reducing retrofit risk and downtime. Application Retrofit projects or new builds in confined spaces where mounting compatibility matters. Feature Cast Iron frame, 734 kg net weight, and 6-pole design provide robust torque delivery and long service life in demanding processes. Application Heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and mixers in mining, chemical, or petrochemical plants. Feature Altitude tolerance up to 1000 m and ambient temperature rating of 40 °C with IC411 insulation and IP55 protection support reliable operation in harsh industrial sites. Application Offshore platforms, refineries, and processing plants where ambient conditions vary and uptime is critical.

FAQs
The 3GKP283230-BDM uses a D connection configuration and supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting, with a 280 frame and 1090 mm net length. Before replacement, verify space for the six-pole design, weight near 734 kg, and ensure mounting alignment to preserve rotor balance. Ensure the 400 V 50 Hz supply aligns with the plant’s electrical infrastructure.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 55 kW with IEEE IE4 efficiency, delivering approximately 95% full-load efficiency and about 95.2% at 75% load, 94.7% at 50% load. The six-pole configuration provides robust starting torque and smooth operation, supporting reliable performance in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors in hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor is certified Exdbeb flameproof protection for explosive atmospheres and is suitable for Gas Group IIB with Temperature Class T4. It features an IP55 enclosure and CE compliance, making it appropriate for petrochemical, chemical processing, and mining operations where strict safety standards apply.
Plan routine inspections aligned with S1 duty and the IMB5 IM3001 mounting footprint. Check bearings 6316/C3, verify insulation (ICLF), inspect terminal connections, and monitor vibration and temperature. Regular bearing lubrication and follow ABB’s maintenance guidance will help sustain uptime and extend motor life in harsh environments.
IE4 efficiency reduces operating energy costs in continuous-duty roles such as pumps and conveyors, delivering lower annual energy consumption and cooler plant operation. Combined with reliable Ex protection and durable construction, this lowers maintenance costs and extends service life, resulting in a favorable ROI over the motor’s service life in hazardous facilities.
