Flameproof Ex protection directly translates to safer operation in hazardous environments, reducing downtime and risk while enabling compliant deployment in chemical plants and oil facilities. IE3 Premium Efficiency lowers energy costs and improves overall plant profitability without compromising reliability in continuous S1 duty. The 355 kW output at 400 V with 8 poles provides strong torque for pumps, fans, and compressors, delivering measurable uptime and process stability. IP55 enclosure plus a robust cast iron frame (size 400) ensures durability against dust ingress and water exposure, supporting outdoor or tough indoor installations. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies replacement and new installations, reducing installation time and spare-part logistics. The D connection, broad altitude tolerance up to 1000 m, and 40 °C ambient rating expand applicability across varied site conditions. Gas group IIB and Exdbeb protection deliver essential safety credentials for hazardous-area drives and help streamline electrical compliance and control architecture.

FAQs
Plan for a single-piece purchase with D-configuration wiring at 400 V, 50 Hz, and an 8-pole design. Use IMB5 or IM3001 mounting in frame size 400 with top terminator box access. Ensure the installation area meets IP55 protection and ambient temperature up to 40 °C; consider altitude up to 1000 m. Follow Ex db eb flameproof requirements and verify proper cable ingress protection and rotary direction settings.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces electrical losses across the full-load to partial-load range, translating to lower energy consumption and cooler motor operation. In continuous S1 duty at 355 kW, this yields meaningful energy cost reductions, improved heat management, and longer service intervals. Coupled with robust flameproof protection, the motor delivers reliable cost-per-kW performance for demanding processes.
Yes, the motor is rated with Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB, making it suitable for many hazardous-area environments where explosion protection is required. Specific ATEX/IECEx approvals depend on local authority documentation; verify site-specific regulatory compliance and ensure the installation matches employer safety guidelines and local standards.
Expect a favorable return driven by reduced energy consumption from IE3 efficiency, lower maintenance due to robust construction, and fewer spare-part interventions thanks to a single high-capacity 355 kW drive. The flameproof design minimizes downtime in hazardous zones, while IP55 protection extends motor life in dusty or wet environments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
The 3GKP404820-BDK supports 3-phase 400 V, 50 Hz operation with D connection and 8 poles, in a frame size 400. It is designed for IMB5 and IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box location, ensuring straightforward integration with standard pumps, fans, and conveyors in hazardous-area facilities. Frame and bearing configurations (cast iron frame, 6324/C3 bearing) support reliable long-term operation.
