IE3 efficiency class delivers measurable energy savings, reducing total energy costs and cooling requirements in continuous-duty applications. In pumps, fans, and conveyors, this higher efficiency translates to lower operating costs and extended motor life when paired with standard drives. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect against dust, water sprays, and elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, minimizing downtime in harsh environments and simplifying installation in moderately dirty industrial plants. The cast iron frame (5800) and bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3VL0241) provide rugged mechanical robustness, reducing vibration-induced wear and enabling longer service intervals on demanding lines like material handling and packaging. With terminator box location at D-End top and IMB3 IM1001 mounting, installation is straightforward and compatible with common switchgear and VFDs, accelerating project timelines and reducing commissioning risk. The S1 duty, 4-pole design, and 3BN3__M3BN_IE3 designation ensure reliable, steady operation in single-speed applications, while the Finland-origin manufacture and standard tariff classification support streamlined procurement and global supply.

FAQs
This motor uses a cast iron frame (5800) with a D-End top terminator box, IMB3 IM1001 mounting class, and a 4-pole design. It is designed for straightforward mounting on standard conveyor and pump platforms and is compatible with common VFDs. Plan for a 1-piece minimum order and verify that the mounting dimensions align with your existing footprint to avoid rework during installation.
Key specs include IE3 efficiency with Full Load around 96.2%, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a voltage code of E. The motor is a 3BN3__M3BN_IE3 type with a 4-pole configuration, operating under S1 duty at ambient up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Ensure compatibility with your drive system and supply voltage for proper performance.
Yes, thanks to IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, the motor performs well in dusty or humid environments and elevated ambient temperatures typical of mining or chemical processing facilities. The 4-pole, single-speed design supports steady torque in continuous-duty scenarios common to material handling, pumps, and ventilation in these industries.
The motor originates from Finland (FI) with Customs Tariff 85015381 and UNSPSC 26101100. It’s designed for industrial use under S1 duty with robust protection ratings (IE3, IP55) and meets standard insulation and mounting expectations, aiding compliance documentation and import workflows.
Customers typically realize reduced energy costs due to IE3 efficiency, improved uptime from IP55/IP-rated protection, and longer motor life from a cast iron frame and durable bearings. With easy installation, standard drive compatibility, and predictable maintenance cycles, the total cost of ownership improves, delivering faster project ROI and steadier production throughput.
