FAQs
Install in accordance with Ex protection requirements (Exdbeb) and IP55 enclosure provisions. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting as specified for flameproof motors, ensure correct Connection Configuration D, maintain 1000 m altitude limit and ambient 40 °C, and verify frame 400 compatibility with your drive system. Confirm gas group IIB compliance and verify clearance from sources of ignition.
Key specs include 500 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 400 kW output, IE3 premium efficiency, IP55 enclosure, Exdbeb flameproof protection, and IC411 insulation. The motor is designed for continuous S1 duty with a single voltage code E and a durable 8-pole configuration for reliable torque at nominal loads.
Yes. The product designation M3KP 400LC 8 confirms a frame size 400 with 8 poles, specifically designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting. This compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations, supporting robust alignment with standard industrial mounting practices and simplifying mechanical integration.
Key certifications include IP55 ingress protection, Exdbeb flameproof explosion protection, IE3 efficiency class, IC411 insulation, and gas group IIB. The motor is rated for hazardous-area operation with a 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, aligning with global safety and efficiency benchmarks used in process industries.
Total cost of ownership includes energy savings from IE3 efficiency, reduced maintenance with robust cast-iron frame and reliable bearings, and long-term uptime in hazardous environments. ABB provides standard product support, with spare parts availability for frame 400 motors and maintenance guidance tailored to IMB3/IM1001 installations.
