FAQs
Plan for IMB5 IM3001 mounting and D-End top terminator box placement to simplify wiring and service access. The 355 frame size and cast iron construction support robust mounting against vibration, while the six-pole design provides strong starting torque for conveyors and pumps. Verify voltage code D and ensure alignment with existing schematics to minimize retrofit time.
This motor is IE2 class with Full Load efficiency of 95.0%, and partial-load figures of 95.0% at 75% and 93.0% at 50%. The improved efficiency reduces energy consumption during continuous operation, lowering utility costs and reducing heat generation, which can extend bearing life and improve long-term reliability in high-throughput applications.
Yes, the unit includes Ex protection with Exec designation and Gas Group IIC, making it appropriate for certain hazardous locations when installed per applicable standards. Ensure proper installation, certification, and local regulations are met, and use in conjunction with the appropriate hazardous-area controls and enclosures.
Ideal for continuous-duty drives in conveyors, pumps, and fans, particularly where dust, moisture, or washdowns are common. The cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and robust bearings support long service life in harsh environments. Its 6-pole configuration provides good starting torque for load-heavy starts typical in material handling and processing lines.
Expect reduced downtime due to IP55 ingress protection and a rugged cast iron frame, along with durable bearings (6316/C3 and 6322/C3 variants) designed for IMB5 IM3001 mounting. The IE2 efficiency reduces thermal stress, while IC411 insulation supports sustained operation at higher ambient temperatures and altitudes, contributing to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership.
