The high IE3 efficiency class translates to measurable energy savings across continuous duty applications, lowering operating costs in pumping and conveying systems while meeting increasingly stringent energy regulations. In practice, facilities see reduced electricity consumption and cooler running temperatures, which extend bearing life and uptime. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation enhance reliability in dusty or hot environments, enabling longer service intervals and fewer unscheduled maintenance events. The cast iron frame (160) with a 4-pole design provides rugged durability for demanding plants, while the D-End top terminator box simplifies wiring and reduces field installation time. Compatibility with IMB3 IM1001 mounting and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings supports smooth, low-noise operation over a long service life. The EX protection option and Gas Group IIC rating make this motor viable for hazardous-area applications with compliant installation practices. Designed for S1 duty, it suits continuous operation in process industries, water treatment, and material handling, offering predictable performance under varied ambient conditions up to 50 °C and 1000 m altitude.

FAQs
This motor is designed for standard IEC 160 frame mounting (Frame Size 160) with a D-End top terminal box, compatible with direct-on-line or VFD-driven applications in pumps, fans, and conveyors. It supports IMB3 IM1001 installation classes and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings for robust alignment and low maintenance, and it can be integrated into hazardous-area layouts when EX protection is selected.
The motor adheres to IE3 efficiency class with Full Load around 92.1% and 75%/50% partial-load performance at approximately 92.2% and 91.3% respectively. It uses Voltage Code D and provides IP55 protection, with ambient temperature up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, ensuring reliable operation in hot, dusty environments.
Yes, the EX-Protection option with Gas Group IIC enables installation in hazardous environments when configured accordingly. It supports non-sparking IE3 cast-iron operation and is suitable for applications requiring enhanced safety and regulatory compliance in zones with explosive atmospheres.
The motor features an IP55 enclosure, protecting against dust ingress and water jets, and an insulation class of ICLF for robust high-temperature performance. These ratings, combined with 50 °C ambient capability and 1000 m altitude tolerance, deliver dependable operation in harsh industrial settings.
Minimum order quantity is 1 piece with no required make-to-order delays, and the unit originates from India (IN). The D-End top terminator box and cast-iron frame simplify installation, while compatibility with standard mounting configurations and protective features helps minimize integration time and lifecycle costs.
