Flameproof Exdbeb protection reduces the risk of ignition in hazardous areas, enabling safer operation in IIB gas environments and improving overall plant safety metrics. The business impact is lower incident downtime and reduced insurance exposure, making it suitable for chemical processing lines and offshore facilities where explosive atmospheres are a constant consideration. The IE3 premium efficiency rating translates to measurable energy savings, especially important for continuous S1 duty cycles, with Full Load efficiency around 95.8% at 100% and strong partial-load performance, supporting lower operating costs and lower CO2 emissions in power-intensive plants. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation provide robust protection against dust, water ingress, and high-temperature environments, extending service intervals and reducing maintenance costs in dusty refineries and mineral processing sites. Cast Iron frame construction (400) and a sturdy 2-pole design enable reliable startup in tough conditions, while the IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and top terminator box location simplify installation and future retrofits. The motor’s 500 V, 50 Hz specification aligns with common industrial networks, facilitating straightforward integration with existing drives and soft-start hardware, and the Ex protection class supports compliant operation in hazardous zones without compromising performance. Altitude handling up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C ensure predictable performance across diverse plant locations, while the heavy-duty bearings (6317M/C3) and IM classes (IMB5 IM3001) support extended life in demanding duty cycles. Overall, ABB 3GKP401510-BEK delivers a robust combination of safety, efficiency, and reliability that reduces total cost of ownership in hazardous-area motor applications.

FAQs
Yes. This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, designed for hazardous zones. Plan for correct cable entry, appropriate Ex-rated connectors, and a compliant terminator box (top location) to maintain enclosure integrity. Verify IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and ensure compatible soft-start drives are used for safe startup in S1 duty.
Exdbeb indicates Flameproof Explosion Protection suitable for IIB gas groups. It allows operation in hazardous atmospheres without igniting surrounding gases, preserving performance and safety. Performance remains aligned with IE3 efficiency targets, and the protection layer does not compromise electrical outputs or mechanical integrity in demanding environments.
Yes. The motor is specified with IMB5 IM3001 mounting capabilities and runs on a 500 V, 50 Hz supply. Frame size 400, cast iron construction, and a top-placed terminator box streamline installation. Always confirm shaft alignment, bearing condition, and drivetrain alignment when integrating with existing couplings and drives.
IE3 motors like this unit typically reduce energy consumption compared with lower-efficiency classes, with Full Load efficiency around 95.8% at 100% load and strong efficiency even at partial loads. In continuous S1 duty, these savings translate to lower operating costs and faster payback, especially in high-duty-cycle plants such as chemical processing or mining.
Maintenance benefits arise from robust construction (cast iron frame, 6317M/C3 bearings) and protective IP55/Exdbeb features that extend service intervals. ROI improves through energy savings (IE3), reduced downtime, and lower risk of fire or ignition incidents, particularly in oil & gas, chemical, and mining facilities with stringent safety requirements.
