IE3 efficiency class delivers measurable energy savings and cooler operation, reducing utility costs and cooling load in continuous processes. This motor meets modern energy regulations and OEM requirements for new installations and retrofit projects, enabling faster project approvals and a lower total cost of ownership. The cast iron frame and IP55 protection provide durability in dusty, humid, and vibratory environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles in mining, cement, and metal-processing facilities. With a 6-pole design and S1 duty, it offers dependable torque and steady operation in pumps, fans, and conveyors, while the 160 frame and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings support long life with straightforward maintenance. Ex-protected variants for hazardous areas (Gas Group IIC) expand application flexibility, and the unit is compatible with standard drives and fieldbus control, simplifying integration and spare parts planning. Installation benefits include a top-mounted D-End terminator box and a robust non-sparking IE3 cast-iron construction, ensuring safety and reliability in challenging plants. This combination also reduces carbon footprint and aligns with energy-management initiatives across critical industries.

FAQs
The motor uses a 160 frame with a cast-iron housing and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings, designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D-End top terminator box access. It supports a 6-pole, 3-phase configuration with a direction of rotation on both sides and a S1 duty cycle, making it easy to retrofit into existing 160 frame installations and standard drive systems.
This motor conformes to IE3 efficiency, offering high full-load efficiency (up to 89.8% at 100% load) and strong partial-load performance (75% and 50% loads around 90%). It runs at 6 poles for steady high-torque operation under S1 continuous duty, with ambient operating up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, supporting reliable industrial performance.
Ideal for pumps, fans, and conveyors in cement, mining, metal processing, and chemical plants, where reliability, energy efficiency, and environmental tolerance are critical. The non-sparking IE3 cast-iron variant extends use in hazardous zones (Gas Group IIC) where safety and compliance are paramount, while IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress.
Key certifications include IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation classification, and IE3 efficiency rating. Ex-protected variants provide electrical safety for hazardous environments, with Gas Group IIC designation indicating suitability for explosive atmospheres. These features help meet global standards and streamline regulatory approvals for critical installations.
The cast-iron frame and robust bearings reduce wear and maintenance cycles, supporting longer service life and improved uptime. Energy savings from IE3 efficiency lower operating costs, while standard frame compatibility simplifies parts stocking and spares. Overall, this motor offers predictable maintenance planning and a favorable ROI for continuous-duty applications.
