FAQs
Install using a Y configuration on a 690 V, 50 Hz supply, ensuring correct alignment with a 4-pole, frame 160 SynRM motor. Utilize IMB5/IM3001 mounting for solid base attachment, wire per terminal diagram, and verify IP55 protection. Check that the terminator box location is D-End top to match the factory wiring scheme. Include proper cable gauges and strain relief to maintain reliability in tough environments.
The motor delivers 11 kW output with high efficiency; IE4 performance is specified at Full Load (93.6%). Its SynRM design reduces rotor losses for better partial-load behavior, supporting stable torque across duty cycles typical for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Expect reduced energy consumption and improved drive efficiency compared with conventional induction motors of similar frame size.
Yes. The model features IP55 protection, guarding against dust and moisture, and is designed for IMB5 mounting (and IM3001 as applicable). The robust cast-iron frame supports installation in rugged factory floors, helping maintain performance in environments with vibrations or temperature fluctuations up to 40 °C.
Key certifications and standards include IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation class, and IE4 performance data, with a configuration suitable for IMB5 mounting. The product originates from Finland (FI) and carries customs tariff number 85015230. These attributes support compliance in regulated procurement and energy-efficiency programs while enabling straightforward cross-border sourcing.
ROI benefits stem from higher efficiency (reduced energy consumption) and lower thermal stress, extending motor life and reducing cooling demands. The SynRM design lowers rotor losses, while the rugged IP55/cast-iron construction and IMB5 mounting minimize downtime and maintenance costs. Overall, you gain energy savings, longer service intervals, and simpler spare-part logistics.
