IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect windings from dust, moisture, and high ambient temperatures, enabling reliable operation in harsh environments and reducing unscheduled downtime for conveyors, pumps, and mixers. The business impact is lower maintenance frequency and longer motor life, delivering predictable performance and improved plant availability. IE2 efficiency is demonstrated with full-load values around 88.9% and strong partial-load performance (89.1% at 75%, 87.7% at 50%), translating into meaningful energy savings over long duty cycles and reducing overall operating costs in continuous processes. The cast iron frame (size 160) and bearing system (6209-2Z/C3) provide durability under vibration and heavy loads, extending service intervals and decreasing replacement cycles in demanding applications. Explosion-protection indicators (EX-Protection, Gas Group IIC) broaden the motor’s suitability for hazardous areas while maintaining safety compliance. The top-entry termination box simplifies wiring during installation, and the 2-pole, single-duty design supports standard drive integration across line layouts. Altitude and temperature ratings (1000 m, 50 °C, T3) ensure predictable performance in challenging plant environments, with IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility for quick retrofits. Overall, the motor’s robust construction and engineered tolerances reduce total cost of ownership and support a resilient automation strategy.

FAQs
Yes. This 3-Phase squirrel cage motor is designed for straightforward integration with common variable frequency drives and PLC-based control systems. With a D voltage code and a two-pole configuration, it presents typical starting currents and torque profiles that align with standard industrial drives. Ensure proper VFD programming for torque control, apply appropriate motor protection, and verify wiring in the D-End top terminator box location for clean, reliable installation.
At 50 Hz, the motor’s IE2 rating translates to optimized energy use across the full and partial load spectrum. Full-load efficiency is around 88.9%, with partial-load figures near 89.1% at 75% load and 87.7% at 50% load. In continuous-duty applications, this performance yields tangible energy savings, reduced heat generation, and improved overall plant efficiency, especially in drives that operate near or at rated torque for extended periods.
The product includes EX-Protection indicators and Gas Group IIC design considerations, making it suitable for certain hazardous-area applications when installed per applicable standards. It provides protective features that enable safer operation in environments with explosive atmospheres, but always confirm field compliance with local regulations, proper enclosure integrity, and installation within approved hazardous-area zoning.
To maximize life, follow a proactive maintenance plan: regular bearing inspection and lubrication based on operating hours, monitor for unusual vibration, and maintain alignment between the motor and driven equipment. Use the 6209-2Z/C3 bearings as specified, check rotation direction and ensure the termination box remains accessible for clean wiring, and protect the cast-iron frame from corrosive exposure with compatible enclosure coatings when needed.
ROI is driven by energy savings from IE2 efficiency, reduced downtime due to IP55/IP-rated protection, and longer service intervals from a durable cast-iron frame and robust bearings. In plants with high annual run-times or hazardous-area operations, the combination of energy efficiency, reliability, and safer operation can shorten payback periods and lower total cost of ownership, while enabling more consistent production throughput.
