Flameproof protection and hazardous-area readiness drive safer operations and regulatory compliance, reducing risk of ignition in IIB gas environments while maintaining IP55 enclosure protection for dust and moisture. This is paired with Exdbeb certification to meet stringent industrial safety standards, enabling installation in demanding oil, gas, and chemical applications. IE3 premium efficiency delivers measurable energy savings, lowering operating costs across continuous S1 duty cycles and contributing to a lower total cost of ownership. Frame size 315 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplify installation on existing baselines and drive trains, reducing retrofit time and optimization effort. The 132 kW rating at 500 V and 50 Hz harmonizes with common plant electrical infrastructure, supporting straightforward integration with ABB and third-party drives. Cast-iron construction, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation offer durable performance in high-temperature environments, while 4 poles and D connection support flexible motor configurations for both start-up and steady-state operation. This combination addresses common objections about flameproof motors by delivering reliability, long life, and ease of maintenance, along with compatibility with standard control panels and protective devices. In industry sectors like mining, petrochemicals, and large-scale manufacturing, the ABB 3GKP312240-BEK supports continuous operation, reduced unplanned downtime, and easier procurement through a single, certified solution that meets critical standards and performance targets.

FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with D-end top terminal box access and a D connection configuration. It is designed for 4-pole operation with a 315 frame, allowing straightforward integration with standard control panels and drives in hazardous zones. This combination supports quick commissioning and reliable alignment with existing ABB or third-party automation systems.
Key specs include 132 kW output, 4 poles, 315 frame size, 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, IE3 premium efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas environments. It operates under S1 (continuous) duty with IC411 insulation, making it suitable for steady-state industrial applications.
Yes. The motor is rated Exdbeb flameproof protection for gas group IIB, meeting ATEX/IECEx hazardous-area requirements. It also features IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, enabling safe operation in elevated temperature zones and dusty or moist industrial settings common in oil, gas, and chemical industries.
Maintenance should focus on protecting the flameproof enclosure integrity, monitoring bearing life (bearing specs: 6319/C3, 6316/C3), and ensuring seals remain intact. Routine inspection of the IMB5/IM3001 mounting, terminal box integrity, and insulation condition (ICLF) helps sustain performance. The robust cast-iron frame supports long service life in demanding environments, reducing unplanned downtime.
Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk in hazardous zones, enabling continuous operation and compliance with safety standards. When paired with IE3 efficiency, the motor delivers energy savings, lowering operating costs. Although upfront costs may be higher, reduced downtime, safer operation, and longer service life translate into favorable ROI for high-demand sectors like mining and oil & gas.
