Ex protection and gas safety: The motor’s Exdbeb flameproof protection and Exde options mitigate ignition risks in volatile atmospheres, reducing the likelihood of incidents and shielding personnel. This translates to safer plant operations and smoother regulatory audits, especially in oil, gas, and chemical processing environments. The business impact is lower risk exposure and minimized downtime due to safer non-electrical ignition sources, enabling uptime-focused production planning and maintenance scheduling.Premium efficiency and energy optimization: With IE3 classification and 50 Hz performance data around full-load efficiency above 91%, this 37 kW drive lowers energy consumption and operating costs. In applications with variable loads, even small efficiency gains compound into significant annual savings, improving total cost of ownership and supporting sustainability targets in plants with high energy demand.Rugged enclosure for harsh settings: IP55 enclosure, ambient temperature up to 40 °C, and operation up to 1000 m altitude ensure reliable performance in dusty, hot, or outdoor installations. This reduces enclosure-related maintenance and eliminates the need for frequent cooling upgrades, a common pain point in mining, water treatment, and chemical facilities.Robust mechanicals and mounting flexibility: Frame Size 280, Cast Iron housing, Bearing 6316/C3, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting provide strong torsional stiffness and long bearing life. The D connection and 8-pole configuration offer predictable speed-torque characteristics, simplifying drive selection, retrofits, and integration with existing conveyors or pumps in industrial plants.Compliance-ready design for hazardous environments: Gas Group IIB, Ex-protection, and IC411 insulation class align with hazardous-area standards and equipment qualification processes. This supports smooth commissioning, reduces qualification time, and helps procurement teams meet strict regulatory requirements without sacrificing performance or reliability.

FAQs
The 3GKP284210-BEL is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a D-end top terminator box. For installation, secure the cast-iron frame to a compatible base, ensure proper cable entry through the connector housing, and connect per local electrical codes for 500 V, 50 Hz systems. Verify Exdbeb protection is intact, seal all enclosure joints, and confirm the motor remains within ambient temperature and altitude limits. The mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits into existing plants and minimizes downtime during upgrade projects.
At 50 Hz, the ABB 3GKP284210-BEL delivers 37 kW of output power with a voltage rating of 500 V and an 8-pole design. It features IE3 premium efficiency, IP55 protection, and Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for hazardous environments. The motor is rated for an ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, with a D connection configuration for straightforward integration.
Yes. The motor’s flameproof Exdbeb protection, IIB gas group classification, IP55 enclosure, and robust cast-iron frame make it suitable for hazardous-area mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas environments. Its 37 kW rating, 8-pole configuration, and IMB5 mounting support reliable torque delivery and easy integration with existing drive trains, pumps, and conveyors while meeting safety and efficiency requirements.
The device is certified for Exdbeb flameproof protection with Exde options and features an IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and gas group IIB. These attributes align with hazardous-area European and international standards, enabling regulated use in explosive atmospheres. Compliance supports safer commissioning, reduces variance in certification efforts, and helps maintain ongoing regulatory adherence for plant-wide safety programs.
ROI is driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency and reduced maintenance from a robust humid and dust resistant design. By lowering energy consumption at 37 kW and minimizing downtime due to safer flameproof protection, plants often see payback within months to a couple of years, depending on load profile and duty cycle. The motor’s longevity and retrofit compatibility further improve long-term total cost of ownership.
