IE3 energy efficiency reduces operating costs by lowering energy losses in continuous-duty drives such as conveyors, pumps, and fans. The result is lower total cost of ownership and a smaller environmental footprint for industrial automation projects. The IP55 enclosure together with IC411 insulation provides reliable protection against dust and moisture, enabling outdoor and damp environments without sacrificing performance or uptime, while remaining compatible with standard VFDs for straightforward integration. A rugged cast-iron frame (160) and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings deliver enhanced mechanical durability, minimizing unexpected maintenance and extending service intervals in demanding settings like mining, sugar, and chemical processing. With Ex protection for hazardous areas (Gas Group IIC) and a functional motor design for continuous operation (S1), this unit supports safe, compliant installations in plant sites that require robust safety features. The D-End top terminal box location simplifies wiring during panel assembly, and the overall design supports easy retrofits and OEM-driven automation projects. Additional benefits include a 4-pole configuration for stable speed control and compatibility with a wide range of drive systems, ensuring reliable performance across a broad spectrum of industrial applications.

FAQs
This is a 4-pole, 3-phase squirrel cage motor with standard mounting in a 160 frame and a D-End top terminal box, designed to pair with common VFDs and motor control systems used in conveyors, pumps, and fans. It supports easy integration into existing automation schemes and OEM assemblies with typical mounting patterns and connection practices.
The motor complies with IE3 efficiency class, delivering Full Load (100%) efficiency around 92.1% and Partial Load (75%) around 92.2% as per IE Class IE3 specifications, ensuring energy savings in continuous-duty operations.
Yes. The unit includes Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC compliance, along with IP55 enclosure and a robust cast-iron frame, making it suitable for hazardous locations while maintaining reliable performance in demanding industrial settings.
Key certifications include IE3 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, and insulation classes such as IC411/ICLF, coupled with a rugged IM class (IMB5 IM3001) and 50 °C ambient tolerance, enabling safe operation in high-temperature and dusty environments.
The cast-iron frame and high-quality bearings (6209-2Z/C3) reduce wear and downtime, while the robust enclosure and insulation support longer service intervals. Coupled with IE3 efficiency, this translates to lower energy costs and improved uptime, delivering a favorable return on investment in continuous-duty automation scenarios.
