FAQs
This motor uses a D-connection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Plan for a 400 V, 50 Hz supply, ensure clearances for a 683.5 mm length, and provide appropriate enclosure protection at IP55. Wiring should accommodate the top D-End termination location for convenient access during commissioning and routine servicing.
IE4 efficiency reduces I2R losses and overall power draw at full load and partial loads. In continuous duty, that translates to measurable energy savings, lower heat generation, and reduced cooling requirements. For line conveyors and process pumps, this translates into lower operating costs over the motor’s life.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and water spray, making it suitable for demanding industrial floors, dusty rooms, and moderately wet environments. Pairing IP55 with ICFL insulation improves reliability in elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m.
Key specifications include IE4 efficiency, IP55 protection, ICFL insulation class, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The product is designed for S1 duty in a 4-pole, 160 frame with a 400 V, 50 Hz supply, and a cast iron frame for long-term durability in industrial installations.
Upgrading to an IE4 motor with IP55 protection typically reduces energy consumption significantly in continuous-duty applications, while its rugged construction lowers maintenance costs and extends service intervals. The exact ROI varies by duty cycle and facility, but many users report favorable payback within a few years due to energy savings and reduced downtime.
