IE4 efficiency delivers measurable energy savings on continuous S1 duty across 18.5 kW applications, reducing operating costs and cooling requirements while maintaining consistent torque. The business impact is lower energy bills and improved system performance, ideal for conveyors and pumps in automated lines. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect internal components from dust and moisture, extending service life in demanding plant floors and harsh environments. This translates to fewer unscheduled maintenance incidents and longer mean time between failures, especially in high-humidity or dusty facilities. The cast iron frame (size 160) with 6309-2Z/C3 bearings provides rugged support and reduced vibration, enabling stable operation in heavy-duty loads and long-running cycles. IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing commissioning time and ensuring compatibility with standard industrial mounts. A 2-pole, 400 V, 50 Hz configuration with D connection supports straightforward integration into existing electrical infrastructure, minimizing wiring changes and easing panel design. Designed for altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, the motor maintains performance without derating in typical manufacturing environments. The unit’s 18.5 kW output and durable construction make it a compelling choice for energy-conscious facilities pursuing steady, compliant operation under S1 duty, while maintaining robust protection for demanding industrial automation tasks.

FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and 2-pole design for 400 V, 50 Hz operation. It features IP55 protection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, enabling straightforward installation in common plant enclosures. Plan for a 683.5 mm length, 414 mm height, and 310 mm width footprint, plus storage and alignment space to accommodate the 162 kg net weight. Ensure panel wiring accommodates Delta/Star connection as required and verify ambient temp and altitude limits (40 °C and up to 1000 m) to maintain performance.
IE4 efficiency indicates superior electrical performance under full-load conditions. In this motor, full-load efficiency is documented at 93.7% (50 Hz) and 93.0% (60 Hz), contributing to lower energy consumption and reduced cooling loads. For continuous duty in pumps or conveyors, these gains compound over time, improving return on investment and reducing operating expenses without sacrificing torque or reliability during peak loads.
Yes. The motor is designed for IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a cast iron frame, which provides robust mechanical stability and vibration resistance in demanding environments. The IP55 enclosure adds protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for factory floors, machinery enclosures, and outdoor installations where environmental exposure is a concern.
The motor features IP55 protection for enclosure durability and IC411 insulation suitable for continuous operation. It is built to meet industry standards for harsh industrial environments, with a cast iron frame for longevity and 2-pole, 18.5 kW output. While SIL and formal CE marking details aren’t listed here, the combination of IE4 efficiency, IP protection, and insulation class provides strong compliance support for demanding automation projects.
Energy savings from IE4 efficiency reduce operating costs over the motor’s life, while the cast iron construction and rugged bearings support high reliability and lower maintenance requirements. With IP55 protection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting, you can expect reduced downtime due to environmental ingress and easier retrofits or replacements. A typical ROI period aligns with energy cost reductions and extended mean time between failures in well-maintained systems, improving overall equipment effectiveness.
