Ex protection and flameproof design enable safe operation in hazardous areas, reducing ignition risk in volatile atmospheres. The 3GKP401810-AEK series is built around a robust cast-iron frame and an IP55 enclosure, delivering durable performance in oil, gas, chemical, and mining facilities. This combination supports operation in gas groups IIB and other harsh environments, helping you meet stringent regulatory requirements while keeping downtime to a minimum. IE3 premium efficiency at 500 V and 50 Hz translates into tangible running-cost reductions for high-load machinery such as pumps, fans, and compressors. Expect improved over-year energy consumption and cooler operation, extending bearing life and reducing cooling demands. The high efficiency also eases compliance with energy-performance directives in many regional markets. With a 400 frame and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, installation and retrofits are straightforward on existing plant footprints. The motor’s direct connection option (D) and 2-pole, single-speed design simplify drive selection and spare-part provisioning. Cast-iron bearing supports and a robust terminator box located on top aid maintenance access in tight spaces. Designed for ambient up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, this motor maintains performance in challenging sites. Insulation class ICLF and IC411 classification provide resilience against heat, vibration, and electrical stress in demanding processes. From procurement to commissioning, the ABB 3GKP401810-AEK offers a clear lifecycle path with standard 1-piece MOQ and proven Finnish origin supply chains, while Exdbeb flameproof protection reduces site permit complexity and enhances overall uptime.

FAQs
This motor is designed for hazardous locations with Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, enabling safe installation in areas with gas groups IIB. It uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 400 frame, making retrofits and new-build installations straightforward. Ensure correct connection configuration (D) and verify ambient temperature and altitude limits during planning.
IE3 efficiency delivers lower running costs and reduced thermal load on drive components. At 50 Hz and 500 V, the motor achieves premium efficiency, improving overall system COP for pumps and conveyors. This translates to less cooling requirement, longer bearing life, and better compliance with energy-use regulations, especially in continuous operation scenarios.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIB compatibility make it well-suited for chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining environments. The ATEX/IECEx-aligned design, plus robust frame and IMB3 mounting, supports reliable operation under vibration and dust, while maintaining safe electrical boundaries in hazardous zones.
Key certifications include IE3 premium efficiency (electrical), Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous zones, and IP55 enclosure rating. The motor also aligns with IC411 insulation class and IMB3/IM1001 mounting requirements, along with standard industrial specifications such as 2-pole, 50 Hz operation and a 400 frame size for compatibility.
Expect reduced maintenance thanks to a cast-iron frame, robust bearings (6317M/C3), and top-access terminator box for quick service. The high IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s lifecycle, contributing to faster ROI in continuous-operation applications like pumps and conveyors. Availability of standard 1-piece MOQ supports predictable procurement and uptime planning.
