FAQs
The 3GKP352230-AEL is equipped with Exde flameproof protection (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure, designed for hazardous environments. Its gas group IIB designation, along with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and D-end top box, supports safe installation in demanding industrial settings. This combination helps ensure regulatory compliance and ongoing uptime in chemical, petrochemical, and mining applications.
Key electrical specs include an output of 355 kW at 500 V, 50 Hz, and a 4-pole configuration. It operates with a D connection, insulation class ICLF, IP55 protection, and IE3 premium efficiency. Designed for stationary, continuous-duty S1 operation, it aligns with high-demand process energy requirements while maintaining safe operation in hazardous areas.
Yes. Its flameproof Exde construction, Exdbeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IIB gas group classification make it well-suited for pumps, mixers, and similar equipment in chemical and pharmaceutical processing. The robust cast-iron frame, IMB3 mounting, and 4-pole design provide reliable torque and durable performance in continuous-duty service.
Plan for the 355 frame size with a net weight of ~1839 kg (gross ~1869 kg). Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting with the D-end top terminal box configuration. Ensure adequate enclosure protection (IP55), verify voltage compatibility (500 V), and confirm ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Verify Exde, Exdbeb, and gas group IIB compliance during commissioning.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces running energy consumption compared with older efficiency classes, translating to lower operating costs over the motor’s life. For 50 Hz operation, full-load efficiency is around 96.0% (and 96.2% at 60 Hz), helping to lower electricity bills in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and conveyors, while contributing to cooler operation and extended motor life.
