ABB 3GKP314230-AEL 3-Phase Motor - Exdbeb Flameproof
Part Number: 3GKP314230-AEL
Quick Summary
3GKP314230-AEL is a flameproof IE3 LV motor for hazardous-area drives in oil, gas, and mining. Maintenance in explosive environments is costly and risky when motors require frequent repairs or re-rating. IP55 enclosure, insulation class ICLF, and Exdbeb protection meet industry standards for safe use in IIB gas zones. Its 90 kW rating at 500 V and 8 poles support reliable, energy-efficient operation in continuous-duty processes. Compatible with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-end top terminations, it simplifies installation and service in industrial plants. Additionally, the motor’s 90 kW rating, 500 V operation, and Ex-protected housing translate to compliance-ready designs for safety audits. With a 40 °C ambient capability and 1000 m altitude capability, it supports global deployment. Standard M3KP designation and a cast-iron frame help reduce spare parts and lifecycle costs. This combination reinforces safer operations and reliable performance across demanding sites.

Exdbeb flameproof protection delivers safer operation in hazardous zones, reducing ignition risk and helping you meet regulatory requirements for gas-exposed facilities. This design is well-suited to oil and gas terminals, chemical processing plants, and mining conveyors where equipment must withstand explosive atmospheres and frequent start-stop cycles. The robust protection pairs with IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation to tolerate dust, water jets, and temperature rise, prolonging service intervals and lowering maintenance costs. IE3 premium efficiency is achieved with 90 kW output at 500 V and 8 poles, delivering measurable energy savings under full and partial loads. In 50 Hz operation, full-load efficiency reaches about 93.4% (75% load 93.8%, 50% load 93.4%); at 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is about 94.1% (75% load 94.1%, 50% load 93.1%). IP55 enclosure and insulation class ICLF make the motor resilient to harsh environments and temperature limits, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or semi-indoor sites. With IMB3 IM1001 mounting and D-end top terminations, installation aligns with standard industrial practices, reducing integration risk and spare-part variety. The 315 frame size, cast-iron frame, and 8-pole design support steady torque and long-term durability. Additionally, with a 40 °C ambient rating and 1000 m altitude resilience, it supports global deployment. Standard M3KP designation and a robust frame reduce spare parts and lifecycle costs, delivering safer operations, lower energy bills, and easier future upgrades.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a D-end top terminator box. Begin by confirming frame size 315 and ensuring the installation location supports 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. Mount the motor on an IMB3-compatible base, connect via the D configuration, seal the terminals, and verify IP55 protection before commissioning. Use the standard 1204 mm length reference to align couplings and drive components.
At 50 Hz full load, IE3 efficiency is 93.4% with 75% load at 93.8% and 50% load at 93.4%. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is 94.1%, with 75% load at 94.1% and 50% load at 93.1%. These figures reflect typical performance for this 90 kW, 8-pole, 500 V motor under standard duty.
Yes. The 3GKP314230-AEL features Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for IIB gas groups, IP55 enclosure, and insulation class ICLF, making it appropriate for explosion-risk zones in oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and mining operations where ignition prevention and reliable operation are critical.
The motor provides Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55, and insulation class ICLF. It is designed for hazardous areas (IIB gas group) with 8-pole IE3 efficiency, 500 V operation, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, aligning with common industrial safety and performance standards for global deployment.
Expect lower operating costs due to IE3 efficiency, reduced downtime from rugged flameproof design, and extended service intervals thanks to IP55 and robust cast-iron construction. The 90 kW rating supports steady torque in continuous-duty processes, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership through energy savings and reliability over time.
