FAQs
Ensure correct Delta (D) connection to 400 V, 50 Hz supply and select the IMB5 IM3001 mounting option with the D-End top terminal box. Provide a solid foundation to minimize vibration and confirm ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C or altitude above 1000 m. Check bearing alignment and confirm stock at the site for maintenance readiness.
It operates at 50 Hz with 4 poles, delivering 15 kW at 400 V with IE4 efficiency, which reduces energy use during steady-state operation. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust and moisture, enabling reliable performance in dusty or damp environments typical of pumping and conveying systems.
Yes. It features IE4 efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and an IMB5 IM3001 mounting arrangement. The motor supports S1 continuous duty, operates effectively at up to 40 °C ambient temperature, and up to 1000 m altitude, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
Upgrading to IE4 efficiency drives energy savings of several percent over comparable lower-efficiency motors, depending on load profile. Combined with reduced wear from robust bearings and a cast-iron frame, downtime and maintenance costs decline. Over a typical continuous-duty application, this translates to measurable annual energy cost reductions and improved uptime.
Stocked at Menden, Germany, with a minimum order of 1 piece and 1 piece multiples. Origin is China and Poland, tariff code 85015230. Complete specifications are readily available, and you can order for 400 V 50 Hz operation with IMB5 IM3001 mounting, ensuring fast procurement and predictable lead times.
