FAQs
For 400 V systems, ensure proper cable sizing and short, protected runs to minimize voltage drop. Use appropriate overcurrent protection and verify enclosure sealing to maintain IP66 Type 4X integrity. Plan for adequate ventilation and a clearance for cooling to sustain continuous operation in demanding environments.
IP66 Type 4X protects against powerful water jets and water ingress while resisting corrosion from chemicals and dust. This enables reliable performance in spray-down areas and coastal installations, supports NSF 169 compliant food handling zones, and reduces maintenance cycles due to environmental exposure.
Yes, the drive carries NSF 169 certification for food splash zones, which supports hygiene and sanitation requirements in food and beverage environments. It also meets CE and UL expectations for international compliance, and its IP66 Type 4X enclosure provides rugged protection in harsh locations.
The unit provides Pn 15 kW, IEC rating with 32 A at 400 V input, and UL rating for 20 Hp at 27 A and 500 V. These specs align with mid-to-high power conveyor, mixing, and pumping applications, delivering strong torque while maintaining protection against harsh environments.
ROI is driven by improved process control, reduced downtime due to rugged IP66/4X protection, and lower maintenance from hygienic NSF 169-compliant design. Energy efficiency and faster commissioning also contribute to shorter project cycles and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s service life.
