FAQs
Plan for a top-terminated gearbox box and use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting options specified for Frame Size 400 with a 3‑phase, 500 V supply. The unit uses a D connection configuration, operates at 50 Hz, and is rated IP55 with Exdbeb flameproof protection suitable for 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Ensure compliance with local hazardous-area wiring standards and secure proper vibration isolation.
The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure, rated for IIB gas groups, with IC411 insulation and T4 temperature class. This combination provides ignition prevention, reliable insulation under harsh conditions, and robust performance in ATEX/IECEx zones, making it well-suited for chemical processing, mining, and oil & gas facilities.
At 50 Hz the motor delivers 560 kW with IE3 efficiency around 95.8% full load, and similar performance is specified for 60 Hz conditions, with 75% and 50% load figures around 95.6% and 94.9% respectively. This translates to predictable torque, stable speed, and reduced energy waste across standard industrial operating ranges.
Yes. The M3KP IE3 flameproof motor uses a Cast Iron Frame Size 400 and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. It features a top terminator box location and a 6-pole configuration, designed for easy integration with common ABB and third-party mounting schemes, enabling straightforward retrofits and new builds in existing IEC power systems.
Expected ROI benefits come from IE3 efficiency reducing feed power losses and from lower risk of unplanned shutdowns due to robust Ex protection and IP55 enclosure. Bearings are specified as 6324/C3 and 6319/C3, supporting long service intervals with appropriate lubrication. Routine inspections of the flameproof enclosure and insulation condition, plus adherence to IMB5/IM3001 mounting tolerances, help sustain uptime and extend motor life.
