ABB 3GKP353420-BEG 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - Exdbeb IE2

Exdbeb flameproof protection is engineered into the ABB 3GKP353420-BEG to meet ATEX/IECEx requirements. This robust flameproof enclosure minimizes ignition risk in gas groups IIB environments, helping facilities pass audits and sustain continuous operation in hazardous zones. The design accommodates typical chemical, refining, and petrochemical processes where explosive atmospheres are a concern. With this protection, retrofit projects can leverage existing safety cases while expanding motor applications into new zones. IE2 high-efficiency performance translates into tangible energy savings across full-load and partial-load scenarios. In long-running applications such as pumps, compressors, and conveyors, operating costs drop due to reduced I2R losses and improved voltage utilization. The result is a lower total cost of ownership and a shorter payback period for critical process improvements. Robust cast-iron frame 355 provides strong mechanical strength and excellent heat dissipation under continuous duty (S1). The 6-pole configuration delivers smooth torque characteristics, reducing bearing wear and vibration in heavy-duty drives. This construction also offers improved resistance to mechanical shocks common in production environments. IP55 protection guards against dust ingress and water exposure, while ICFL insulation withstands thermal stress across 40 °C ambient conditions. Together, these features extend service intervals, minimize unplanned downtime, and support safe operation in mixed indoor/outdoor facilities. The combination is particularly valuable for dusty, humid, or outdoor installations. Top-termination box location streamlines wiring, commissioning, and field maintenance by providing easy access for terminations. The 355 frame, cast-iron body, and standardized mounting pattern simplify retrofits and cross-compatibility with ABB drives and control gear. This engineering cohesiveness reduces installation risk and accelerates time-to-productive operation. Designed for operation up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, the motor maintains consistent torque and full-load performance across diverse plant locations. The durable design supports longer service intervals, easier spare parts planning, and improved maintenance productivity. Overall, the combination of safety, efficiency, and rugged reliability translates into meaningful plant-wide value.
