Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups delivers safe operation in Zone 1 environments, reducing compliance risk for hazardous processes. This certification supports regulatory approvals and helps engineers meet ATEX/IECEx requirements without custom shielding. Application: suitable for pumps and conveyors in chemical, petrochemical, and mining plants. IE3 premium efficiency minimizes energy losses under full-load and partial-load conditions, delivering measurable operating-cost reductions and aligning with corporate sustainability targets. Application: drives for process fluids handling, fans, and material transport where energy efficiency directly impacts lifecycle cost. IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and a 1000 m altitude rating ensure reliable operation in tough environments, while ambient temperatures up to 40 C support year-round performance. Application: automated lines in outdoor or exposed facilities with demanding duty cycles. Frame Size 280, 8 poles, and 37 kW at 400 V 50 Hz enable a robust, single-machine solution that reduces cascading components. IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a top-terminated box provide installation flexibility, simplifying retrofits and service. Application: retrofit projects in retrofitable plants with limited space and strict safety standards. Made in Finland, this motor arrives ready for integration with existing ABB drives and control architectures, minimizing commissioning time and accelerating time-to-production.

FAQs
For installation, ensure 400 V 50 Hz power supply, IMB5 IM3001 mounting, and top-access termination are prepared. The motor’s flameproof Exdbeb protection and IP55 enclosure simplify compliance in Zone 1 environments, while cast-iron frame 280 provides rigidity. Verify space for the top-plate terminal box and allow for adequate cooling in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and at elevations up to 1000 m.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses across full-load and partial-load conditions, delivering lower electricity consumption for heavy-duty tasks such as pumping and conveying. In hazardous-zone operations, this translates to lower energy bills and improved return on investment, especially when paired with reliable Ex-protection and durable IMB5 mounting for long-term uptime.
Yes. The 8-pole design, 400 V 50 Hz rating, and IMB5 mounting are specified for the 3GKP284210-BDK. This alignment enables straightforward retrofits into existing lines, reduces mechanical adaptation, and ensures consistent performance in demanding environments such as chemical processing and mining applications.
Exdbeb flameproof protection supports Zone 1 installations in IIB gas environments, while IP55 protects against dust ingress and water ingress in tough plant conditions. Together, these features help meet ATEX/IECEx expectations and industrial safety standards, enabling safer operation in hazardous areas without compromising on efficiency.
The combination of Ex flameproof protection, IE3 efficiency, and robust cast-iron construction reduces unscheduled downtime and energy costs, driving a favorable total cost of ownership. Maintenance is streamlined by the motor’s top-terminal box and reliable bearings (6316/C3), while the 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient rating support steady operation in outdoor or demanding facilities with minimal frequent interventions.
