Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ABB 3GKP402820-BEK is a flameproof IE3 premium efficiency motor delivering 630 kW at 500 V with a 4-pole configuration, enabling high-torque starts and reliable large-load operation in hazardous zones. This translates to lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs across continuous S1 duty cycles in processing plants, pipelines, and refining facilities. Application-wise, it suits heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and fans where hazardous-area compliance is non-negotiable, and 50 Hz operation aligns with standard industrial grids. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Exdbeb protection plus IP55 enclosure provides explosion safety and environmental sealing, reducing the risk of ignition and moisture ingress. This supports regulatory compliance and longer service life in off-shore platforms, chemical plants, and mining sites that demand rugged enclosure integrity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: D connection configuration and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplify installation and maintenance, shortening commissioning times and minimizing field rework. In practice, technicians benefit from straightforward wiring and a top-terminator box, enabling cleaner enclosure layouts in space-constrained switchgear rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Insulation class ICFL and IC411 performance curves across 50 and 60 Hz demonstrate consistent thermal performance, maintaining full-load efficiency and longevity under ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. This reduces maintenance cycles and extends motor life in hot plants, elevating overall plant reliability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gas Group IIB protection and Ex-d flameproof rating mean the motor is suitable for ignition-risk zones, supporting plant-wide safety standards and reducing total cost of ownership over the asset lifetime. In practice, this means safer operation in refining, petrochemical, and gas processing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Frame size 400, cast iron construction, and burden-bearing components (bearing 6324/C3, 6319/C3) provide rugged mechanical integrity for heavy-duty applications, improving uptime and rotor life in pumping stations and material-handling lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1000 m altitude capability and 40 °C ambient tolerance expand deployment options in mountainous sites and tropical-to-subtropical facilities, enabling consistent performance without bespoke cooling. This aligns with project budgets seeking universal equipment across multiple sites.

FAQs

The motor uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box and a D connection configuration, designed for straightforward installation in confined or retrofit environments. This layout minimizes field cabling, simplifies alignment, and supports rapid commissioning while preserving service ventilation and accessibility for maintenance.
This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection for gas Group IIB environments and an IP55 enclosure for dust and water ingress protection. It also carries an insulation class ICFL with IC411 performance data, ensuring reliable operation under elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
The unit provides 630 kW output at 500 V input, 4 poles (high), and a 50 Hz power supply. Frame size is 400 mm in a cast iron enclosure, with a load-bearing configuration suitable for S1 duty, supporting robust performance in continuous operation scenarios.
Yes. The motor is rated for up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, with a T4 temperature class. These ratings make it suitable for outdoor or elevated industrial sites without requiring special derating beyond standard IE3 performance.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy losses under full and part-load conditions, improving ongoing electricity costs in continuous duty (S1) applications. With Ex protection, IP55 sealing, and reliable running in IIB gas zones, total cost of ownership benefits include lower energy bills, reduced maintenance intervals, and safer, compliant operation across oil, gas, mining, and chemical processing plants.
