FAQs
This motor uses a D-End top termination box and a cast-iron frame with 160 frame size, supporting straightforward mounting and wiring. Ensure compatible drive alignment, verify 8-pole configuration, and check IM classes (IMB5 IM3001) for mounting orientation. Plan for a reversible rotation setup and provide adequate clearance for maintenance in industrial spaces.
At 50 Hz, IE3 efficiency delivers energy savings compared with standard-efficiency machines. The motor operates with an 8-pole configuration and Full Load Efficiency around 86.2%, maintaining similar performance at Partial Loads (75% and 50%). Its IC411 insulation, ambient tolerance to 50 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m help preserve consistent torque and reliability in real-world conditions.
Yes, the model supports Ex protection options (Exec) and is compatible with IIC gas groups, enabling safer operation in hazardous zones. Additional protections include IP55 ingress protection and ICFL insulation class, which together help meet many industry safety and compliance requirements for chemical, oil & gas, and mining applications.
Key certifications include IE3 efficiency for energy compliance, IP55 protection for dust and water ingress control, and IC411 insulation with an ambient limit of 50 °C at 1000 m altitude. The motor is designed for S1 duty and cast-iron construction, with non-sparking variants available for safety-critical environments in accordance with industry codes.
Expected ROI comes from reduced energy consumption due to IE3 efficiency, lower maintenance downtime due to robust cast-iron framing and reliable bearings, and extended asset life from IP55 and ICFL protections. For continuous operations like pumps and fans, the combination of high efficiency and durable construction typically yields faster payback and improved process reliability over legacy motors.
