FAQs
When installing the ABB 3GKP312420-AEL, ensure Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure are verified for the specific ATEX/IECEx zone. Use IMB3 IM1001 mounting, confirm correct D-connection wiring, and provide adequate clearance for cooling. Verify ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C and maintain proper ventilation to sustain full IE3 efficiency.
Yes. This motor is a 4-pole, 3-phase unit designed for 50 Hz operation with a 500 V input, delivering 200 kW. It meets IE3 premium efficiency targets at full load and maintains performance across partial loads, making it suitable for continuous duty in demanding industrial processes.
Applications in chemical processing, mining, and oil and gas environments benefit most due to the Ex protection (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure. The motor supports conveyors, pumps, mixers, and fans in hazardous zones, delivering reliable torque and reduced risk of ignition while maintaining energy efficiency.
Key considerations include Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure for hazardous areas, along with IC411 insulation and Gas Group IIB compatibility. While SIL and CE markings are not explicitly listed, the Ex protection and rugged enclosure align with common ATEX/IECEx compliance expectations for hazardous-zone motors.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption and cooling requirements, translating to lower operating costs and improved MTBF. The flameproof design minimizes ignition risks, reducing maintenance interventions in hazardous environments. Over the motor’s life, this yields a favorable ROI through energy savings and extended service intervals.
