Feature → Ex protection and IP55 enclosure reduces ignition risk in ATEX/IECEx zones, enabling safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites. Business impact: lower incident risk, simplified compliance, and potentially lower insurance costs. Application: installation near processing equipment without extra enclosures accelerates project timelines. Feature → IE3 Premium Efficiency at 250 kW lowers energy consumption and heat generation, reducing cooling requirements and operating costs in continuous duty (S1) applications. Application: pumps and fans where energy efficiency directly impacts total cost of ownership. Feature → 315 frame, four-pole design with IMB5/IM3001 mounting provides installation flexibility and compatibility with standard gearboxes and conveyors. Business impact: faster retrofits and reduced integration costs. Application: retrofit projects or new builds with space constraints. Feature → D connection configuration, 500 V at 50 Hz, and IC LF insulation support safe, predictable wiring and easy serviceability. Application: straightforward electrical installation and maintenance routines in harsh environments. Feature → Cast iron frame and bearings 6319/C3 with 6316/C3 NDE deliver durable operation under high ambient temperatures (up to 40 °C) and up to 1000 m altitude. Business impact: longer service life and fewer unscheduled outages. Application: heavy-duty conveyor, mixing, and pumping lines in demanding plants. Feature → Exdbeb flameproof protection with Gas Group IIB confirms compliance for explosion-protected motors in hazardous atmospheres. Business impact: enables safe operation in volatile locations while maintaining performance; Application: chemical processing, oil & gas, mining sectors.

FAQs
Follow IECEx/ATEX installation practices for flameproof motors. Mount the unit on IMB5/IM3001 supports and ensure a 315 frame fit with four poles. Use the D connection configuration, verify 500 V 50 Hz supply, and confirm ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C and altitude remains below 1000 m. Confirm IP55 enclosure and Ex protection integrity after wiring.
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 250 kW output from a 500 V supply in a four-pole configuration. It is rated IE3 for premium efficiency, with IP55 protection and IC LF insulation. The flameproof Exdbeb protection ensures safe operation in hazardous zones, and the unit uses a D connection configuration for straightforward wiring.
Yes. The 3GKP312830-BEK is specified for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a 315 frame, facilitating installation alongside common gearboxes and couplings in industrial plants. The 4-pole design and robust cast-iron frame support reliable performance in challenging environments, while the D connection and standard footprint simplify retrofits.
Industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas refining, mining, and pulp and paper benefit from reliable explosion protection combined with premium efficiency. Exdbeb motors reduce ignition risk while cutting energy costs in continuous-duty applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors, delivering safer operation without sacrificing performance.
Plan routine bearing inspections (6319/C3, 6316/C3) and periodic lubrication according to the IMB5 IM3001 installation. Check insulation under elevated ambient conditions and ensure Ex protection—Exdbeb—remains intact after service. Monitor temperature at 40°C ambient and verify IP55 seals; schedule vibration analysis and torque checks to extend service life.
