Flameproof Exdbeb protection paired with IE3 premium efficiency lowers the total energy consumption of large motors in hazardous zones. The business impact is measurable energy cost reduction and improved safety margins for zone-limited environments. In practice this motor is well-suited to chemical processing lines, oil refineries, and mining conveyors where explosive atmospheres are possible. Rugged IP55 enclosure and IMB3/IM1001 mounting provide a robust installation footprint and straightforward mechanical integration. The application benefit is easier installation, reduced protection enclosures, and compatibility with common baseplates in industrial plants. Frame size 315, 4-pole design, and 250 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz deliver consistent torque and startup performance for heavy loads. The business impact is improved process control and shorter downtime during motor start/stop cycles in pumps, fans, and compressors. Insulation Class ICLF and ambient tolerance up to 40 °C with altitude up to 1000 m ensure reliable operation in variable facility conditions. The application benefit is extended service intervals and reduced risk of insulation failure in hot environments. Ex protection, IIB gas group, and temperature class T4 provide compliance-ready safety features that streamline procurement and audit trails. The result is better risk management and easier handover to maintenance teams, with compatibility to ABB drives and standard ABB mounting accessories.

FAQs
Yes. The 3GKP312830-AEK uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 315 frame size, designed for straightforward integration onto standard bases and terminal boxes. It features a D-Connection configuration and a top-side terminal box location (D-End top), simplifying routes for power and control cabling in new builds or retrofits.
The motor operates at 500 V, 50 Hz, delivering 250 kW of output power with a 4-pole design. It is rated for Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and insulation class ICLF. Duty is S1, and it supports operation at up to 1000 m altitude with ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
Yes. This motor is explicitly designed for hazardous environments with Exdbeb flameproof protection, IIB gas group, IP55 enclosure, and a T4 temperature class. It also maintains reliable performance under elevated ambient temperatures, making it suitable for chemical plants, mining operations, and oil & gas facilities.
The motor is an IE3 premium efficiency model, providing full-load efficiency around 96% with 50 Hz and up to 96.2% at certain partial loads. It operates under a continuous S1 duty, ensuring reliable and predictable performance for continuous process applications like pumps and fans in demanding plants.
ROI is driven by energy savings from IE3 efficiency, reduced maintenance due to a robust flameproof design, and easier compliance documentation for audits. The 250 kW output at 500 V with 4 poles ensures strong torque for start-up and steady operation, lowering downtime and extending service intervals in critical processes.
