Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE5 efficiency class delivers significantly lower full-load losses, reducing energy consumption and cooling requirements, which directly lowers operating costs on continuous-process lines such as conveyors and pumps. This translates to measurable monthly savings and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Application: ideal for industrial drives where energy efficiency and reliability are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection and ICFL insulation provide rugged operation in non-lab environments, enabling service continuity in dusty or humid plants. Application: motor drives in packaging, metalworking, or material handling with exposure to environmental contaminants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast-iron frame and 4-pole design deliver mechanical durability and predictable torque for high-load applications. Application: milling, mixing, or extrusion equipment requiring consistent performance under extended duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Y-coupled configured for 400 V 50 Hz networks simplifies electrical installation and reduces wiring errors during commissioning. Application: standard European facilities, OEM panel builds, and retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility streamlines integration with existing bases and safety enclosures, minimizing installation time. Application: retrofit projects and new lines where mounting compatibility shortens downtime. The combination of frame size 160 with a 15 kW output supports mid-to-high power drives while maintaining compact footprint, aiding in space-constrained plant layouts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Replaced product ID 3GBL162105-ASC ensures BOM continuity and smoother part substitutions in maintenance planning. Application: maintenance planning and inventory management in long-life production lines.

FAQs
This motor is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase power and uses a Y (star) connection. It aligns with standard European electrical infrastructure, simplifying integration with typical VFDs and line-side protections. When wiring, ensure proper phase balance and adequate cable sizing to maintain voltage integrity at full load.
Yes. The motor is specified for IMB3 IM1001 mounting and features IP55 protection, making it suitable for exposed industrial environments. This combination supports safe installation in conveyors, pumps, and material-handling equipment, while the protective enclosure helps resist dust ingress and moisture at typical plant operating conditions.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency, with full-load values around 94.8% at 50 Hz and 95.2% at 60 Hz according to the IE class data. At 75% and 50% loads, efficiencies remain high (94.9% and 94.6% at 50 Hz), delivering energy savings across varied operating points such as throttled conveyors or variable-speed pumps.
Key specs include a 160 frame size in cast iron, a 4-pole configuration, 15 kW output, and a 400 V, 50 Hz supply. The unit uses a Y connection and is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Ensure adequate space for cooling and verify alignment with coupling hardware and drive train to preserve performance and vibration limits.
The IE5 motor reduces energy consumption and associated cooling loads, lowering operating costs over the lifecycle. Its rugged IP55-rated enclosure and ICFL insulation support longer service intervals in harsh environments, while the robust cast-iron frame and mounting compatibility minimize downtime during maintenance and BOM changes, improving overall return on investment.
