IE2 efficiency class reduces energy consumption during continuous operation, lowering running costs for pumps and fans in harsh environments. This translates to a measurable payback on large-scale HVAC or process cooling systems, especially where duty cycles are steady and throttling is limited. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation shield the windings from dust and moisture, boosting reliability in dirty or damp environments while maintaining performance. The cast iron frame size 160 and durable bearings (6209-2Z/C3) deliver excellent vibration damping and longer service life in demanding mechanical loads, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. A 2-pole, S1 duty motor with voltage code D ensures compatibility with standard electrical supplies in typical industrial facilities, simplifying procurement and installation. The Ex-protection option (Exec) with Gas Group IIC support offers added safety in hazardous areas when paired with approved safety equipment, enabling broader application scope. Terminator box location at D-End top, IM class IMB5 IM3001, and compatible mounting patterns streamline installation across a range of equipment and align with common IEC standards, reducing install time while ensuring reliable electrical connections. With a 102 kg net weight and 112 kg gross weight, the motor is designed for handling and rigging in plant environments, supporting safe transport and on-site assembly. In summary, this motor combines robust mechanical design with high-efficiency operation to deliver predictable uptime and lower total cost of ownership in industrial drives.

FAQs
The motor uses a 2-pole design with a frame size 160 and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class, which aligns with standard IEC mounting patterns. Use a top-entry terminal box (D-End top) and ensure correct rotation direction for your drive. The motor is compatible with typical 50 Hz power supplies (Voltage Code D) and supports conventional VFD control strategies, enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration while protecting bearings and insulation.
IE2 efficiency indicates better energy use than standard IE1 designs, translating into lower input power for the same mechanical output. In continuous-duty applications like pumps and conveyors, this reduces electricity bills and thermal load on cooling systems. The motor’s Full Load efficiency around 88.9% and favorable partial-load performance (≈89.1% at 75%) help lower lifecycle costs and improve plant energy metrics.
The motor features IP55 protection for dust and water ingress resistance and IC411 insulation for robust thermal endurance. It operates with a T3 temperature class and is designed for hazardous areas with EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC configurations when integrated with approved safety equipment. This combination supports safe operation in challenging environments and broader application eligibility.
Best suited for pumps, fans, and conveyors in harsh manufacturing settings where reliability and efficiency matter. The cast-iron frame provides durability under vibration, while the 2-pole design supports high starting torque for heavy loads. Its rugged protection, temperature tolerance, and altitude capability make it a solid option for process lines, HVAC systems, and material handling equipment.
Product net weight is 102 kg with a gross weight of 112 kg, and the frame size is 160 with a Cast Iron frame. Bearings are 6209-2Z/C3, and the motor uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting with the Terminator Box located at D-End top. These specifics assist in crane access planning, rigging, and alignment, while aligning with common IEC standards to simplify replacement or service in established plant layouts.
