FAQs
The 3GKP311820-BDL is designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and frame size 315 with a Cast Iron construction, enabling straightforward bolt-in replacement or retrofit. Its D connection configuration and 2-pole design simplify wiring and alignment, reducing commissioning time and avoiding costly on-site adjustments. This compatibility supports reliable alignment with common ABB and third-party motor platforms in hazardous environments.
Key electrical specs include a 400 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 250 kW output, and a D connection configuration. The motor is rated for a 2-pole, 315 frame size with an IP55 enclosure, Insulation Class ICFL, and Exdbeb flameproof protection. These specs ensure high-performance operation in hazardous zones while meeting standard industrial power distribution practices.
Yes. The 3GKP311820-BDL carries Exdbeb flameproof protection, suitable for explosion-prone environments. It combines gas-group IIB protection with a protective IP55 enclosure and a robust frame built for industrial duty. This combination supports regulatory compliance, minimizes ignition risks, and enables safe operation in chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining applications.
As an IE3 premium efficiency motor, the 3GKP311820-BDL delivers lower energy consumption at full and partial loads, reducing operating costs and heat generation. The motor’s 95.8% full-load efficiency at 100% load (50 Hz) helps decrease power draw in steady-state operations, improving process reliability and contributing to longer drive life in demanding plant environments.
Maintenance should focus on bearing checks (bearing 6316/C3), seal integrity, and inspection of the Exdbeb flameproof enclosure for any sign of damage or ingress. The cast iron frame and IMB5 mounting provide robust mechanical stability, minimizing vibration-related wear. Regular inspections, lubrication per manufacturer guidance, and prompt replacement of worn components help sustain reliability in hazardous zones.
