FAQs
ABB 3GKP312420-ADK uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting for a robust, industry-standard installation on frame size 315. The motor features a D-type connection and a 1317 mm net depth, 858 mm net height, and 590 mm net width, designed for straightforward panel and trailer mounting. This combination minimizes custom hardware needs, speeds installation, and simplifies future maintenance in hazardous environments where space and reliability are critical.
The motor operates at 400 V, 50 Hz with an output of 160 kW and a 4-pole configuration. It is classified IE3 for premium efficiency, delivering full-load efficiencies around 95.8–96.2% depending on frequency and loading, which translates to meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors.
Yes. The 3GKP312420-ADK is Exdbeb flameproof protected, designed for gas group IIB environments. Exdbeb indicates a flameproof enclosure that prevents ignition of surrounding atmospheres, ensuring safe operation in hazardous zones. This protection, together with the IP55 enclosure, supports safe operation in ATEX/IECEx certified installations for mining, chemical processing, and oil & gas facilities.
Yes. The motor is rated for continuous S1 duty and specified for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. This makes it suitable for installations in hot, elevated environments where stable cooling and insulation performance are essential, helping to maintain consistent torque and power delivery under challenging conditions.
The 160 kW IE3 flameproof motor reduces energy costs due to premium efficiency, while the Ex protection and IP55 enclosure minimize downtime and insurance exposure in hazardous zones. Its cast-iron frame, large bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting support long service intervals and predictable maintenance. In multi-shift pumping or conveying applications, customers typically see lower energy bills, reduced unplanned outages, and longer mean time between maintenance events, driving a favorable return on investment.
