ABB 3GKP401520-BDG 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - Exdbeb Flameproof
Part Number: 3GKP401520-BDG
Quick Summary
ABB 3GKP401520-BDG 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor drives hazardous-zone processes in chemical, oil, and energy facilities. Operators and maintenance teams face downtime and safety compliance risks when motors lack explosion protection, robust sealing, and predictable performance. This model integrates IP55 ingress protection, Exdbeb flameproof certification, IC411 insulation, and IE2 efficiency to ensure reliability under continuous duty. Designed for installations with limited space, high ambient temperatures, and elevated altitudes, it reduces long-term operating costs by lowering energy use and maintenance intervals. Combined with ABB reliability and field-service support, it translates into faster commissioning, fewer spare parts, and improved total cost of ownership.

Flameproof Exde protection with Exdbeb certification → enhances personnel safety and regulatory compliance in hazardous environments, enabling uninterrupted operation of critical automation lines in chemical plants and oil refineries. The business impact is reduced risk exposure and lower insurance costs, while the application includes ATEX/IECEx-aligned facilities seeking robust, certified drive solutions. IP55 ingress protection → safeguards internal components against dust and water ingress, extending uptime in dusty or damp production areas and improving mean time between failures (MTBF) for conveyors and pumps. IE2 efficiency on a 2-pole, 400-frame design → translates to tangible energy savings across continuous operations, reducing operating costs in heavy-load applications such as fans and mixers and supporting sustainability initiatives. Cast Iron frame 400 and bearing assembly 6317M/C3 → offer rugged durability for demanding installations, enabling easier mounting in IMB5 configurations and delivering long service life in steel mills, process lines, and water-treatment facilities. Top termination box location → simplifies wiring during installation and maintenance, facilitating faster commissioning and safer, cleaner control cabinet layouts. Temperature class T4, altitude 1000 m, ambient 40 °C → ensures stable performance in hot, high-altitude environments typical of industrial facilities, reducing the risk of thermal derating and unexpected downtime. Continuous duty S1 operation, single-speed, unidirectional → supports predictable, steady-state performance for constant-speed drives in material handling, robotics-guided assembly lines, and environmental control systems. Country-of-origin Finland (FI) and robust build quality → provides traceability and dependable supplier support, contributing to lifecycle planning and long-term ROI in capital-intensive automation projects. These features collectively strengthen compliance posture, improve maintenance planning, and lower total cost of ownership for hazardous-area motor installations.
