FAQs
This motor features a top D-End termination box and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, which simplifies wiring and mounting on standard frames. With a 160 frame size and cast iron housing, ensure proper alignment with driven equipment and adequate clearance for cooling. Cable entry and conduit routing should respect IP55 sealing requirements to maintain protection.
IE1 efficiency specifications are provided for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation, with Full Load (100%) around 88.7–89.5% and Partial Load levels near 88.2–88.9%. The IP55 rating, IC411 insulation class, and 4-pole design support reliable performance in continuous duty applications, balancing energy use with output torque in industrial drives.
Yes. The 4-pole, S1 duty motor is designed for continuous operation and common industrial loads. Its IP55 enclosure protects against dust and moisture, while the cast iron frame and bearings withstand vibration and heavy loading typical of conveyors and pumps. It also tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m.
Key standards include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation class, indicating suitability for dusty and moderately harsh environments. The insulation and mounting are aligned with IMB5 IM3001, and the IE1 efficiency class provides energy performance meetups for typical industrial operators seeking reliable, standards-compliant equipment.
The robust cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and durable bearings contribute to reduced downtime and longer service intervals. With reliable IE1 efficiency and a design tailored for continuous operation, operating costs are lowered over the motor’s life. Routine maintenance focuses on bearing inspection and seal integrity to sustain performance in high-load conditions.
