FAQs
The 3GBL162417-HUC is designed for IMB35/IM2001 mounting and uses a D-End top terminator box configuration, with a 160 frame size. This combination simplifies retrofit and installation into existing footprints, reducing calibration time and enabling straightforward cable management and safe, repeatable start-up in new or rebuilt lines.
Key specs include 11 kW output, 690 V nominal input, 50 Hz frequency, 4-pole design, and a Y connection. The IP55 enclosure and IE5 efficiency class support reliable operation in demanding environments while enabling seamless integration with standard 690 V drives and control systems, reducing wiring complexity and improving energy performance.
Yes. The IP55 protection rating provides substantial protection against dust ingress and water exposure, making it suitable for outdoor installations or dusty factory settings. Combined with IC411 insulation and a robust cast-iron frame, the motor maintains performance and reliability under challenging ambient conditions.
IE5 SynRM motors deliver lower electrical losses versus standard IE class motors, which translates to real energy savings and reduced cooling loads. In continuous-duty applications such as conveyors or pumps, this often yields measurable reductions in energy bills and extended maintenance intervals, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership and faster payback.
Maintenance focuses on keeping bearings, seals, and mounts in good condition given the heavy-duty operation. The 6309-2Z/C3 bearings and cast-iron frame are chosen for durability, but routine inspections, lubrication checks per the drive system, and inspection of the terminator box and connections will help sustain reliability and uptime in continuous production environments.
