FAQs
For installation, position on a solid base with level mount and provide adequate cooling. Use a D-end top terminator box for accessible wiring, install with proper conduit, and ensure adequate clearance for service access. Consider ambient temperature up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, with correct bearing lubrication and alignment to avoid vibration.
Yes, the M2GAX 180MLB 8 is designed for common industrial drive compatibility. Use standard three-phase power wiring with appropriate motor protection and a suitable drive filter if needed. Verify the rated voltage (Voltage Code D) and ensure the drives’ output matches the motor terminals. Follow the D-end top terminator box wiring scheme for straightforward commissioning.
The motor features IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, with IE2 efficiency. It also offers Ex-protection options and Gas Group IIC suitability, making it compliant for use in hazardous zones such as certain petrochemical and mining environments. Always confirm local compliance requirements and ensure proper installation in accordance with IEC/ISO standards.
IE2 data for this model indicates Full Load (100%) efficiency around 86.9%, with the same 86.9% at 75% partial load and a slight drop to 84.5% at 50% load. This efficiency profile supports energy savings across typical process variations, contributing to lower operating costs over the motor’s lifecycle.
Prioritize regular bearing checks for 6210-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3 types, monitor vibration, and ensure proper lubrication intervals. Maintain clean cooling pathways and verify alignment with driven equipment to prevent bearing wear. Schedule periodic inspections of the terminator box and enclosure seals, especially in high-dust or high-temp environments to sustain reliability.
