FAQs
This motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a Y-connection configuration. Confirm the frame size 160, dimension envelope (681x421x338 mm), and ensure adequate clearance for cooling. Use factory torque specs for bearing covers and ensure alignment with the driven equipment to prevent end-shplay and misalignment. The cast-iron frame supports rigid mounting in demanding environments.
Key specs include 11 kW output power, 400 V input, 50 Hz operation, and 4 poles. The IE5 efficiency class indicates high energy efficiency, with full-load efficiency around 94% at 50 Hz and similar performance at 60 Hz. It features IP55 protection, ICFL insulation class, and a Y connection, making it suitable for industrial drives.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and moisture, while the ICFL insulation supports reliable operation in challenging environments. The IMB3/IM1001 mounting enables secure installation on conveyor assemblies, and the 4-pole, 11 kW rating offers strong starting torque for belt-driven loads.
Key standards include IP55 enclosure protection, IE5 efficiency rating, and ICFL insulation class. It is designed for robust industrial use with a frame size 160 and cast-iron construction. The motor is aligned with common European and global drive standards and is suitable for CE-like regulatory expectations in industrial settings.
The IE5 synchronous Reluctance design reduces energy losses, delivering lower running costs over typical motor lifecycles. When paired with 400 V drives and a modern VFD, you can achieve faster payback through energy savings, reduced thermal load, and longer maintenance intervals thanks to durable bearings and a rigid frame in demanding applications.
