Flameproof protection is Exdbeb and suitable for IIB gas environments, delivering safer operation in oil, gas, and chemical processing sites; this translates to reduced risk of ignition and lower insurance costs while enabling compliant plant design. The IE3 premium efficiency rating lowers energy consumption and heat generation under continuous service, resulting in measurable cost savings and cooler operating temperatures for critical drives like pumps and fans. The IP55 enclosure combined with IC411 insulation protects internal windings from dust, moisture, and contaminants, improving reliability in harsh environments and reducing maintenance cycles. The 355 frame size with IMB3/IM1001 mounting supports straightforward retrofits and new installations, minimizing on-site modification and installation time. A 4-pole, 50 Hz setup with a 500 V supply and D connection aligns with standard electrical rooms, while the continuous S1 duty—plus 1,000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limits—ensures predictable performance in challenging industrial plants. The motor’s substantial weight and footprint reflect its rugged construction, designed for long service intervals and reduced lifecycle costs, making it a robust choice for hazardous-area drives in mining, chemical plants, and processing facilities.

FAQs
Begin with confirming Ex-rated hazardous-area classifications and the IIB gas group requirement. Mount the motor on an IMB3/IM1001 base compatible with frame size 355, using the D connection configuration. Ensure proper cable entry, grounding, and control wiring in a clean, ventilated enclosure. Verify IP55 sealing and insulation class ICFL, then perform alignment, coupling, and belt or shaft-driven load installation per OEM guidelines to minimize vibration and downtime.
The motor delivers 315 kW at 500 V and 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration. It is rated IE3 for premium efficiency and uses a D connection. The unit features IP55 protection, Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups, insulation class ICFL, and a duty rating of S1. It accommodates ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m, suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Yes. The 3GKP352230-AEK is specified for IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a 355 frame size. This compatibility supports straightforward installation into existing bases or new installations without extensive structural modifications. The footprint and mounting pattern align with common industrial standards, reducing retrofit time and enabling reliable alignment with standard couplings and gearing for pumps, fans, and compressors.
The motor provides Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for IIB gas groups, ensuring safe operation in explosive atmospheres. It also features IP55 protection for dust and moisture ingress, and insulation class ICFL for robust winding insulation. The assembly is designed for S1 duty, with frame 355 and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, making it a dependable choice for chemical, oil, and mining applications.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption and running costs, improving ROI in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and fans. With Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, maintenance intervals can be extended due to fewer dust/moisture-related faults. The robust frame and bearing arrangement (6322/C3 and 6316/C3) support longer service intervals, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies field servicing and retrofits in existing plants.
