FAQs
This motor operates at 400 V and 50 Hz, with a D-connection configuration and 2-pole design, making it compatible with standard European and many global 3-phase power networks. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting footprint supports straightforward retrofits to existing bases, reducing installation time and hardware changes. Ensure your drive system matches the IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation requirements for durable operation in dusty or damp environments.
At 50 Hz and full load, the motor achieves IE3 efficiency with typical full-load efficiency around 91.9% (as specified for IE3 under 50 Hz conditions in 100% load). The 15 kW output on a 160-frame cast-iron housing provides strong starting torque and reliable continuous operation under S1 duty, suitable for conveyors, pumps, and other demanding loads.
Yes. The 3GBA161420-BDF is rated for S1 continuous duty and features a robust IC411 insulation class and IP55 protection. Cast-iron frame 160 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting supports long service life in continuous, high-load environments, while the 2-pole design provides efficient torque delivery for steady-state operation in manufacturing lines.
This motor carries IE3 efficiency certification, IP55 ingress protection, and IC411 insulation, which collectively support reliable operation in dusty or moist environments. The cast-iron frame and bearing specification (6209-2Z/C3) further contribute to durability, making it well-suited for industrial settings with challenging environmental conditions.
Choosing an IE3 motor like the 3GBA161420-BDF typically reduces energy costs over the motor’s life, improving return on investment. With IMB5/IM3001 mounting and robust bearings, maintenance intervals can be extended, and downtime minimized. For OEMs targeting low lifetime costs, this motor aligns with energy regulations while delivering dependable performance in 15 kW, 2-pole applications.
