FAQs
This motor features Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, making it suitable for hazardous areas. Plan for D-End top termination, IMB5 IM3001 mounting, and ensure installation within a 50 °C ambient limit at up to 1000 m altitude. Use a robust, cast-iron frame (size 280) and verify bearing clearance to sustain long, maintenance-friendly operation.
IE2-rated performance delivers lower energy consumption during full-load operation, with tested values around 90.7% efficiency at full load. Partial-load performance remains strong (approximately 90.7% at 75% load and about 88.3% at 50%), contributing to noticeable energy savings over the motor’s lifecycle, especially in variable-load applications like fans and pumps.
Yes, the motor supports rotation in both directions, simplifying installation in conveyors and fans where bi-directional flow is needed. However, it is not a two-speed motor (Two Speed Motor = No). For applications requiring speed changes, a separate drive or gearbox solution would be necessary, preserving reliability and torque in single-speed operation.
The motor carries IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and Ex protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC, making it compliant for hazardous locations. It’s designed for 1-phase? No, it’s a three-phase motor with non-sparking IE2 efficiency and cast-iron frame, suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments that demand safety and reliability.
Common applications include pumps, fans, and conveyors in chemical plants, mining, and processing facilities. Benefits include energy savings from IE2 efficiency, extended service life from a robust cast-iron frame and bearings, and safer operation due to non-sparking design and explosion protection. These factors translate to reduced downtime, lower operating costs, and quicker ROI in heavy-industrial automation.
