FAQs
This is a 3-phase induction motor designed for standard 400 V three-phase systems and continuous S1 duty. It features a 280 frame, cast iron housing, and a D-End top termination box for easy wiring. With a 2-pole configuration and IMB5 mounting, it aligns with common OEM and retrofit projects while offering reliable operation at up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude.
IE1 efficiency is rated around 93% at full load, supporting lower energy costs during long-running cycles. The IP55 enclosure provides robust protection against dust and water ingress, reducing maintenance frequency in challenging environments. Together, these ratings improve uptime, reduce energy-related operating expenses, and support compliance in standard industrial facilities.
Yes, the motor supports rotation in both directions, which is beneficial for reversible conveyors. It uses a 280 frame with a cast iron housing and IMB5 class mounting, and the termination box is located at the D-End top for straightforward installation. These features streamline OEM integration and retrofit projects in space-constrained layouts.
The motor meets key protection and insulation standards including IP55 protection and insulation class ICLF, suitable for harsh environments and higher ambient temperatures. It is designed for continuous S1 duty and can perform reliably at up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient. Additional origin details indicate China (CN) production with a standard tariff designation of 85015381 for cross-border compliance.
The 3GBA281250-BDT uses a cast iron frame with a durable 6316/C3 bearing, supporting extended bearing life and reduced maintenance cycles. Its IP55 protection, IE1 efficiency, and S1 duty translate to lower energy costs and fewer unplanned outages. Over time, improved uptime and energy savings contribute to a faster return on investment and lower total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.
