Flameproof construction with Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk in hazardous zones, supporting safer operations and easier compliance audits. This translates to lower risk exposure for operators and reduced insurance costs. Ideal for oil and gas platforms, chemical plants, and mining sites where explosion protection is mandatory. IE3 Premium Efficiency delivers up to 160 kW at 50 Hz, reducing energy losses and lowering operating expenses over the motor’s life. The business impact is improved total cost of ownership and better sustainability reporting. Applications include continuous-duty pumping and fans in process industries where energy efficiency is a priority. IP55 enclosure plus a 40 °C ambient tolerance ensure reliability in dusty, humid conditions, extending service intervals and reducing maintenance downtime. The impact is longer mean time between failures and a smoother production schedule. The rugged cast iron frame size 355 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting provides strong vibration resistance and faster commissioning, lowering installation risk and improving uptime. Suitable for heavy machinery, conveyors, and extraction systems in demanding environments. Electrical configuration at 500 V, 50 Hz with 6 poles and a D connection supports consistent performance and straightforward integration with standard plant electrics, enabling predictable torque and smooth starts when paired with drives. Altitude up to 1000 m and 40 °C ambient temperature mean fewer derating scenarios, translating to more reliable operation in remote sites. Finnish-origin manufacturing reinforces quality and spares support, with robust bearings (6322/C3, 6316/C3) contributing to a long service life and dependable maintenance planning.

FAQs

The 3GKP353220-BEK is designed around IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a D connection configuration, enabling quick integration with common industrial baselines. Its 355 frame and cast-iron construction support robust installation in hazardous zones, reducing alignment and retrofit challenges while maintaining conformity with IP55 and Ex protection requirements.
This motor operates on 500 V at 50 Hz, delivering 160 kW of output with 6 poles. It is rated IE3 for premium efficiency and features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and an insulation class of ICLF, making it suitable for continuous S1 duty in demanding plants.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP353220-BEK is specifically designed for hazardous areas, featuring Ex protection (Exdbeb), flameproof construction, and IP55. Its 6-pole, 160 kW rating supports continuous operation in demanding environments like oil rigs, chemical processing facilities, and mining sites, with mounting options that simplify installation in explosion-protected zones.
Ex flameproof motors require routine inspection of seals, enclosures, and cable terminations to maintain explosion protection integrity. The 3GKP353220-BEK uses a robust cast-iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, which aids vibration damping and reduces wear. Regular bearing checks (6322/C3 and 6316/C3) and parity with the IP55 enclosure help sustain reliability in 40 °C ambient conditions and up to 1000 m altitude.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces running energy costs in continuous-duty applications by lowering I2R losses and heat generation. For a 160 kW motor, annual energy savings can significantly decrease total cost of ownership, improving payback in maintenance planning and enabling longer intervals between spare-part replacements, especially when combined with reliable Ex protection and robust mounting that minimize downtime.
