Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE5 efficiency class delivers measurable energy savings, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life and reducing cooling requirements in automated lines. This translates to lower utility bills for conveyors, pumps, and fans in continuous-duty processes. Use this motor in packaging, materials handling, and process lines to achieve greener, more cost-effective operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ex protection (Ex ec) enables safe use in hazardous zones, expanding your site’s flexible automation options and compliance with regulatory standards. Deployment in chemical processing or pharmaceutical environments reduces risk while enabling hazardous-area drives. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation support reliable operation at ambient up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m, minimizing derating and downtime in challenging plants. Suitable for outdoor or factory-floor installations with exposure to dust and humidity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole, 11 kW output in a compact frame size 160 enables high torque density and space-saving layouts in IMB3 mounting schemes, shortening installation time and easing retrofit projects. Ideal for compact conveyors and pump packages where a robust drive is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: D connection configuration and 380 V, 50 Hz compatibility simplify electrical wiring and commissioning, reducing panel space needs and time-to-first-run on new lines. Best for standard European electrical infrastructures in food & beverage, packaging, and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Synchronous reluctance (SynRM) design reduces copper and iron losses compared to traditional induction motors, delivering quieter operation and lower maintenance, which improves uptime in continuous-process lines and bottleneck stations.

FAQs
This motor uses a D-type connection and is designed for 380 V, 50 Hz networks with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. It features IP55 protection and an IC411 insulation class, making it suitable for challenging factory floors and installations up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. Plan for proper shaft alignment, enclosure clearance, and hazardous-area wiring practices to ensure safe, compliant operation.
Key specs include 11 kW output, 4 poles, 380 V input, 50 Hz frequency, and frame size 160. The motor offers IE5 efficiency with Ex protection, IP55 enclosure, and a hazardous-area capable design (Ex). It also features 3GGL162417-ARC designations for ordering and mounting, with a robust IMB3/IM1001 footprint for reliable installation.
Yes. The motor is configured for Ex ec protection in hazardous environments, with Gas Group IIC and protection suitable for hazardous zones. It also carries IP55 protection and IE5 efficiency, aligning with safety and energy standards for industrial plants that require robust area classifications and reliable performance in demanding processes.
IE5 efficiency reduces I2R losses, lowering energy consumption and cooling demands. Over the motor’s life, this translates to noticeable energy bill reductions and extended service intervals due to less thermal stress. In continuous conveyors, pumps, and fans, the savings compound with uptime gains and lower maintenance costs, improving return on investment.
The motor uses standard 4-pole synchronous reluctance design with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, 681 mm net length, and 133 kg net weight. Regular checks should focus on bearing condition (6309/C3) and drive alignment. Compatibility with a 380 V, 50 Hz supply and the D-end termination location simplifies panel wiring and field installation, reducing commissioning time for upgrades.
