FAQs
This 3-phase squirrel cage motor uses a 315 frame with a D-End top termination box, weighs about 880 kg net (900 kg gross), and is mounted via IMB5 IM3001. Plan for up to 50 °C ambient temperature and installations up to 1000 m altitude, with IP55 protection for dust and moisture resistance. Ensure compatibility with your current non-sparking IE2 motor lineup and 2-pole configuration.
The motor delivers IE2 efficiency with Full Load around 94.6% at 50 Hz and maintains high efficiency at partial loads (75% and 50%). This translates to meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty applications like pumps and fans, reducing electricity bills and helping meet corporate energy targets without compromising torque or reliability.
Yes. The motor includes Ex protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC, making it suitable for certain hazardous-area applications. However, installation must comply with local and national regulations for explosion-protected equipment, and proper zone classification and certification must be verified before deployment.
With a 315 frame, cast-iron construction, and a D-End top terminator box, this motor is designed for straightforward retrofits and new installations. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and standardized dimensions simplify alignment with existing gear and couplings, while the robust bearings (6316/C3) help minimize alignment issues and maintenance needs.
The IE2-efficient design, rugged cast-iron frame, and IC411 insulation contribute to lower energy use, longer service life, and reduced maintenance intervals. In continuous S1 duty, you gain predictable operation, improved uptime, and a favorable total-cost-of-ownership profile thanks to durable bearings and protective IP55 enclosure.
