Exdbeb flameproof protection is a core feature of the ABB 3GKP351210-BEL, providing robust explosion protection for ignition-sensitive environments. This standard supports reliable operation in hazardous zones while meeting gas-group IIB certifications and global electrical safety requirements. Operators gain lower risk, simpler compliance audits, and reduced downtime, making this motor well-suited for petrochemical, mining, and refining processes where safety and continuity are non-negotiable. IE3 premium efficiency at 250 kW and 500 V (50 Hz) translates into tangible energy savings and lower operating costs. In full-load conditions the motor achieves approximately 95.8% efficiency, with 95.6% at 75% load and 94.6% at 50% load, which reduces heat, cooling needs, and energy bills in pumps and conveyors. Upgrading from older IE2 designs also improves reliability and reduces total cost of ownership over the motor’s life. Designed for challenging environments, IP55 protection and the ICLF insulation class shield the windings from dust, moisture, and temperature swings. The cast-iron frame size 355, paired with 6316M/C3 bearings, provides rugged mechanical integrity and smooth operation under vibration or heavy-load conditions typical in process plant equipment such as fans, compressors, and mixers. Installation and service are streamlined by practical wiring and mounting options: a D connection configuration, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and a top terminator box location simplify field wiring, alignment, and service access. The 2-pole design minimizes reconfiguration needs, while robust enclosure and bearing systems ensure dependable performance under continuous duty. This combination reduces commissioning time and supports quick fault diagnosis, which translates into lower lifecycle costs during plant expansions or maintenance outages. Originating from Finland (FI), the motor’s standardized dimensions and weight support predictable logistics, aiding procurement and on-site planning. With a net weight of approximately 1,630 kg and a gross weight of 1,660 kg, plus a 355 frame, 2-pole design, and IP55 enclosure, the unit integrates smoothly with existing plant infrastructure and spare parts catalogs.

FAQs
For safe and reliable installation, plan for the Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and the 355 frame. Use IMB5 IM3001 mounting and top termination box to simplify wiring. Ensure supply is 500 V, 50 Hz, and that the D connection configuration is correctly configured. Align maintenance access with the motor’s footprint to minimize commissioning time.
The Exdbeb flameproof protection combined with IIB gas-group rating provides explosion protection in hazardous zones. This means ignition sources are contained, which reduces risk during operation in chemical, refining, and mining facilities. The IP55 enclosure adds ingress protection against dust and moisture, supporting reliable performance in tough industrial conditions.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy consumption under full-load and partial-load conditions. The motor demonstrates approximately 95.8% efficiency at full load (100%), 95.6% at 75% load, and 94.6% at 50% load, directly lowering energy bills and cooling requirements in pumps, fans, and conveyors, which contributes to a lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP351210-BEL is designed for 500 V, 50 Hz operation and features a D connection configuration. Its 355 frame with cast-iron construction, IMB5 mounting, and top terminator box simplify wiring, installation, and future maintenance in standard industrial power systems.
Flameproof LV motors with IE3 efficiency deliver meaningful energy savings and longer service intervals due to robust build quality (cast iron frame, 6316M/C3 bearings). The Ex protection reduces unplanned downtime in hazardous plants, while standardization (frame size 355, mounting IMB5) supports easier spare-part procurement and faster maintenance, contributing to improved uptime and lower lifecycle costs.
