Flameproof Exde protection with Exdbeb enclosure and IP55 rating reduces compliance risk and enables installation in hazardous areas such as oil & gas, mining, and chemical plants, delivering safer operations and fewer unplanned outages. The IE3 premium efficiency rating delivers measurable energy savings across continuous duty cycles, translating into lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint for plant-wide electrical systems. A rugged cast iron frame (315) with 6316/C3 bearings supports long service life and reduced maintenance, even under demanding ambient conditions, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations. The D-configuration electrical connection and 500 V input at 50 Hz provide straightforward wiring with predictable performance, influencing faster commissioning and reduced commissioning risk. Altitude (up to 1000 m) and ambient temperature (40 °C) tolerance broaden site compatibility, enabling reliable operation in a variety of facilities. Frame size, robust termination box placement (D-End top), and IP55 protection collectively support safer, compliant drives in challenging environments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.

FAQs
The motor uses a D connection configuration and is designed for IMB3 IM1001 mounting. It features a D-End top termination box location for convenient wiring access, frame size 315, and a robust cast iron housing. This combination supports straightforward installation, simplifies retrofits, and aligns with hazardous-area mounting requirements while maintainingIP55 protection.
Key metrics include a 250 kW output power at 500 V and 50 Hz, with IE3 Premium Efficiency. IE Class Data at 50 Hz shows Full Load efficiency around 95.8% and similar performance at 60 Hz, ensuring reliable energy efficiency across grid conditions. The motor is a 2-pole design, with a flameproof Exde protection scheme suitable for S1 duty.
The ABB 3GKP311820-AEL is engineered for hazardous-area applications such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and offshore facilities. Its Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIB compatibility enable safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, while its IE3 efficiency supports energy-conscious, high-duty-cycle operations common in these industries.
The motor features Ex protection Exdbeb and IIB gas group ratings, along with an IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation class. Its IE3 premium efficiency supports energy and performance standards, while the Exde flameproof design aligns with hazardous-area certifications such as IECEx/ATEX equivalence where applicable. These specs help ensure regulatory compliance and safer plant operations.
Expect reduced downtime due to robust cast iron construction, 6316/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility. Premium IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs over the life of the motor, improving return on investment for continuous-duty processes. Preparations should include verifying ambient conditions (40 °C, up to 1000 m altitude), ensuring proper mounting and termination access, and scheduling periodic inspections of the flameproof enclosure and bearing interfaces.
