FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection, supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and is designed for Frame Size 225. It is compatible with standard 690 V, 50 Hz drive systems and can be integrated into existing mechanical bases with minimal adaptation, reducing commissioning time and engineering effort.
Key differentiators include IE5 efficiency, 30 kW output, 4 poles, IP55 enclosure, and Ex ec protection. SynRM technology delivers lower no-load and load losses, improving overall system efficiency and reducing energy costs in continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The motor features Ex ec protection and IP55 rating with IEC/CE-aligned standards, supporting safe operation in hazardous zones and compliance with industrial safety frameworks. Gas group IIC and insulation class ICLF further underpin its suitability for challenging facilities.
Robust cast iron frame, bearing specs (6313/C3 and 6212/C3), and IMB5/IM3001 mounting reduce vibration and wear, extending service intervals. Energy efficiency reduces cooling load, and a simplified mechanical interface lowers spares consumption and maintenance labor over the motor’s life.
With IE5 efficiency and reduced energy losses, operational costs drop significantly over the motor’s lifecycle. The rugged enclosure and protective features minimize downtime in harsh environments, while straightforward installation and compatibility with existing infrastructure shorten capital expenditure and accelerate payback on retrofits.
