FAQs
Begin with confirming Ex protection (Exec) compliance and ensure the motor is mounted with the D-End top terminal box accessible for safe wiring. Verify Gas Group IIC suitability and install per local ATEX/IECEx directives. Use proper enclosures, sealing, and mounting hardware to maintain IP55 protection, and follow the manufacturer’s torque specs for the shaft and fastening points to ensure reliable startup and vibration control.
The motor aligns with IE3 efficiency class, offering full-load efficiency around 90.7%. It has two poles, operates at 50 Hz, and is designed for continuous S1 duty. This combination supports steady torque delivery for pumps, fans, and conveyors, while delivering lower energy costs compared with IE2 alternatives and enabling predictable operation in continuous processes.
Yes. The unit is rated for an ambient temperature of up to 50 °C and an altitude up to 1000 meters. In installations near the upper limits of these conditions, plan for minimal derating and verify cooling is unobstructed. The cast-iron frame and robust bearings help maintain long-term reliability under these environmental stresses.
This motor features IP55 protection, IE3 efficiency, and Ex-protection for hazardous areas (Exec) with Gas Group IIC classification. Insulation is rated ICLF, and the enclosure adheres to IC411 standards. These certifications support safe operation in demanding environments such as chemical plants and mining operations, while meeting global compliance requirements.
With bearings specified as 6209-2Z/C3 and IM class IMB3 IM1001, maintenance intervals extend due to durable construction. The IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs over time, contributing to favorable ROI. Expect longer bearing life, reduced downtime, and lower lifecycle costs in continuous-duty applications like conveyors and process pumps.
