FAQs
For installation, confirm frame size 160 and mounting compatibility with IMB35/IM2001. Ensure a 500 V, 50 Hz supply and Y connection wiring per IEC guidelines, and provide adequate ventilation for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Verify IP55 seals are intact and align the motor with the driven equipment to minimize misalignment and bearing loads. Use appropriate shielded cables and proper torque during mounting to maintain integrity under 1000 m altitude limits.
Key specs include a rated power of 11 kW at 500 V and 50 Hz, 4 poles, and a synchronous reluctance design with IE5 efficiency. The motor uses a Y connection, an IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and a duty class S9. It is intended for standard industrial drives and aligns with IMB35/IM2001 mounting arrangements, enabling straightforward integration with common VFDs.
Yes. The motor is designed for rugged operation with IP55 protection and a cast iron frame, suitable for dusty, damp, or outdoor environments. Its 4-pole, 11 kW configuration provides reliable torque for pumps and conveyors, even under variable loads. The IMB35/IM2001 mounting and 500 V, 50 Hz power make it a compatible choice for standard automation architectures in challenging plants.
This motor features IE5 efficiency and IP55 protection, with IC411 insulation. It is aligned with regional and industry standards for industrial motors and includes Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Eco Solutions labeling. The UNSPSC code is 26101100, and the design supports standard industrial procurement and compliance processes, streamlining sustainability reporting and supplier qualification.
ROI is driven by premium IE5 efficiency, which reduces energy consumption and operating costs over the motor’s life. The SynRM design typically offers lower copper losses and improved reliability, translating to longer service intervals and less downtime. Maintenance requirements are minimized due to robust bearings and protective enclosure, while spare parts and retrofit tooling remain compatible with common drive systems.
