FAQs
This motor is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz operation with the D connection configuration. It supports IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 2-pole, 3-phase setup in standard industrial cabinets. When planning a retrofit, verify wiring routes, ensure adequate enclosure space for IP55 protection, and confirm alignment with existing starter or drive systems to minimize downtime.
The unit is IE4 (super-premium efficiency). At full load, efficiency is high (Full Load ~93.7%), enabling meaningful energy savings over typical operating cycles. For continuous processes, this translates to lower operating costs, reduced heat load, and improved overall plant energy performance without compromising throughput.
Yes. The motor features IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, making it appropriate for dusty or humid industrial environments. It also tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m, expanding its applicability across a wide range of factory floors and outdoor installations with protective housing.
With IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a compact 160 frame, the motor fits standard plant footprints and motor racks. The D connection configuration provides wiring flexibility for 400 V systems, while the 2-pole design reduces space needs and simplifies integration with existing drives, soft-starters, or VFDs in new or retrofitted lines.
The IE4 efficiency, rugged cast-iron construction, and sealed IP55 housing collectively lower energy and maintenance costs, supporting a favorable ROI. Predictable service life is aided by durable bearings (6309-2Z/C3) and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, which minimizes unscheduled downtime and extends intervals between interventions in regulated or high-demand environments.
