Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure provides certified safety for hazardous-area installations, reducing regulatory risk and downtime in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns and greater process uptime, especially in exposed environments where ambient temperatures can spike. The IE3 premium efficiency rating reduces energy consumption by hundreds of kilowatts in continuous operation, delivering measurable life-cycle cost savings and cooler operating temperatures that extend bearing life. The 355 frame in cast iron offers rugged durability, while 6316M/C3 bearings and IMB3/IM1001 mounting enable reliable, vibration-tolerant operation under heavy loads. The 500 V, 50 Hz, D-configuration design supports straightforward integration with common drive systems, PLCs, and plant-wide motor control schemes. Top terminator box location simplifies cabling, expediting installation and future maintenance. Designed for 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, the motor maintains performance where harsher conditions prevail. The Ex-protection rating, gas group IIB, and IC411 insulation class ensure safe, compliant operation in hazardous environments, while the 2-pole, S1 duty rating aligns with typical industrial duty cycles for high-demand applications.

FAQs
ABB 3GKP351210-AEL is designed for hazardous-area installations requiring Ex-d flameproof protection with Exdbeb rating, suitable for IIB gas groups and group II environments. It features an IP55 enclosure and a 355 frame with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, making it compatible with IM B3 mounting standards. The motor’s Ex protection, temperature class T4, and 50 Hz, 500 V supply support robust operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining.
The 3GKP351210-AEL runs on 500 V at 50 Hz, delivering 250 kW in a 2-pole design. It uses a D connection configuration and supports a 3-phase supply with a full-load efficiency IE3 rating. The motor operates up to 1000 m altitude, at ambient 40 °C, with an IP55 enclosure and Exdbeb protection, making it compatible with standard industrial drives.
Yes. It is an IE3 premium-efficiency motor, with full-load efficiency around 95.8% at 100% load (50 Hz) and similarly high efficiency at partial loads. This translates into lower electrical energy consumption, reduced heat gains, and lower operating costs over the motor’s life, particularly in continuous-duty S1 applications. The combination with flameproof housing ensures compliant, energy-conscious operation in hazardous areas.
Installers should mount the 355-frame motor using IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with a top terminator box location for accessible cabling. The 2-pole design and 3GKP designation support IMB3 mounting, while the cast-iron frame provides rigidity in demanding environments. With a weight around 1630 kg, ensure suitable foundation and lifting provisions; this simplifies alignment with coupled loads.
