Feature IE5 efficiency with synchronous reluctance design lowers energy consumption in continuous‑duty drives, delivering tangible cost savings for conveyors, pumps, and fans across metals processing and mining. Business impact Reduced energy bills and improved power density enable more compact layouts and longer equipment life, particularly in space‑constrained plants. Application Suitable for heavy-duty industrial drives where precise speed control and high starting torque matter, such as rolling mills or material handling systems. Feature Ex protection with gas‑group IIC compliance enables safe operation in hazardous environments like chemical plants and refining operations. Business impact Enables installation in hazardous zones with regulatory confidence, reducing the need for multiple protection schemes and simplifying EHS compliance. Application Hazardous areas benefit from compact, robust design and certified protection. Feature IP55 enclosure and a rugged 250 frame with IMB3/IM1001 mounting support reliable operation in dusty or damp environments. Business impact Lower maintenance and faster commissioning, with compatibility for retrofit projects and new builds. Application Ideal for OEM integrations and factory floor retrofits where robust mounting and enclosure standards matter. Feature Y connection, 50 Hz supply, and 690 V operation streamline integration with standard plant electrical systems. Business impact Minimizes wiring complexity and the risk of phase mismatch, boosting installation speed and reliability. Application Useful for new builds and upgrades in facilities with existing 690 V networks. Feature High altitude and ambient tolerance (1000 m, 40 °C) ensures consistent performance across diverse sites. Business impact Reduces derating concerns in mid‑to‑high altitude operations, improving uptime and predictability. Application Suitable for global installations, including plants at varying elevations. Feature 37 kW, 4-pole design delivers strong torque with efficient energy use for heavy conveyors and processing lines. Business impact Improves startup performance and throughput while maintaining energy efficiency targets. Application Ideal for high‑load, variable-speed drives in metal processing and mining sectors.

FAQs
Ensure a 690 V, 50 Hz supply with a Y connection, mount using IMB3/IM1001 as specified, and connect the motor to the appropriate drive. Verify IP55 enclosure, Ex protection, and the 4-pole design. Confirm the frame size is 250 and respect altitude and ambient temperature limits during commissioning to minimize derating and ensure reliable operation.
The motor delivers 37 kW output at 690 V and 50 Hz, with 4 poles, IP55 protection, and IE5 efficiency. It uses a Y connection, has a 250 frame size, and a cast-iron enclosure. It is Ex-certified for hazardous areas (Exec) and suitable for operation up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient.
Yes. The model features Ex protection (Exec) and gas group IIC compatibility, making it appropriate for certain hazardous environments. When deploying in such zones, follow regional codes and ensure proper installation practices and protective relays are in place for safe operation.
IE5 efficiency delivers measurable energy savings under full and partial load, as indicated by IE Class data (full load ~95.6% efficiency). In continuous-duty drives, this translates to lower energy costs and improved total cost of ownership, especially in applications like conveyors and pumps where duty cycles are high.
Key features include 690 V 50 Hz operation, Y connection, 4 poles, IP55 enclosure, 250 frame with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and Ex protection. The robust cast-iron frame plus mounting compatibility simplify retrofits and new installations in diverse plant environments.
