FAQs
This motor is a 4-pole, frame 400, cast-iron design with a top-entry junction box, making it compatible with many standard VFDs used in industrial drives. Ensure the drive settings respect Ex protection requirements, torque limits, and cable routing to maintain IP55 integrity. Always verify the local electrical codes and motor manufacturer guidelines during retrofits or new installations.
IE2 efficiency indicates a higher energy conservation level at full load and typical partial-load conditions. In this motor, Full Load efficiency is about 95.1%, with 75% and 50% loads also around 95.1% and 94.2% respectively. This translates to lower operating costs, reduced heat generation, and improved overall process efficiency in continuous-duty applications.
Yes. The ABB 3GKP402520-BEG isEx-protected (Exdbeb) for hazardous environments and is rated IP55. It supports Gas Group IIB and Temperature Class T4, with IC411 insulation. These features meet many ATEX/IECEx requirements, facilitating compliance in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations.
The motor has a product net weight of approximately 3420 kg and a gross weight of around 3460 kg, with packaging typically oriented for a single pallet packaging level. Plan for crane-rigging and appropriate transport routes, and coordinate with your logistics team to ensure safe handling during installation and commissioning.
Bearing arrangements are 6324/C3 (bearing) and 6319/C3 (bearing NDE), with a cast-iron frame and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class. Regular inspection of bearings, lubrication per OEM recommendations, and checking Ex seals for integrity helps sustain uptime. The 400 frame and robust enclosure support long service intervals in demanding process environments.
